Crepey skin
This thin, wrinkled texture often appears on the neck, arms, and inner thighs due to sun damage or natural age progression.
Saggy Skin
Do you feel self-conscious about loose, soft tissue on your face or body? As we get older, our natural cellular structure weakens, resulting in pronounced folds and a loss of contour. Standard firm creams sit on the surface and fail to rebuild your dermal layers. At Abela Medical in Leeds, we offer advanced clinical options designed to safely lift loose tissue and restore a firm, beautifully sculpted appearance.

Understanding the condition
What is Saggy Skin?
Saggy skin, also known as loose skin, is the visible loss of firmness and elasticity across your dermal layers. It often appears as soft, drooped tissue.
This concern affects various areas of the body, such as the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs. Without expert medical care, this issue can cause intense distress and lower your daily confidence.
There are different types of saggy skin:
Jowls
Loose tissue that hangs from the jawline, often associated with a severe loss of facial volume.
Excess abdominal skin
This often occurs after pregnancy or significant weight reduction.
Root factors
What Causes Saggy Skin?
Natural Age Progression
As we get older, our bodies produce less collagen and elastin. These two essential proteins provide your skin with its firm structure and support.
Excessive Sun Exposure
Ultraviolet rays from the sun damage vital dermal fibres. This cellular destruction accelerates the ageing process and contributes to severe tissue loss.
Significant Weight Loss
Rapid or drastic weight reduction can leave behind excess skin that fails to retract and conform to your new body shape.
Genetics
Some individuals possess a natural predisposition to thinner skin or a slower rate of collagen production.
Smoke Habits
Cigarette smoke restricts blood flow to the skin and hinders the delivery of essential nutrients, which destroys your natural elasticity.
