Firm skin is mainly determined by two types of proteins with unique structures:
This type of protein makes up about 30% of the total protein in the body. When the skin has sufficient collagen, it will maintain suppleness and elasticity. The skin will have the highest collagen percentage in the 20s and decrease with time and old age.
This type of protein usually found in the middle layers of the skin, is a fibrous protein that determines the support and elasticity of the skin layer. Like a rubber membrane, elastin allows the skin to stretch comfortably and return to its original shape.
When facial skin lacks firmness, it often appears with the following signs below:
The face's proportions will be skewed and less sharp when wrinkles appear on the forehead and eyebrows. The cheek area is drooping and sagging; the jawline is broader. Skin muscles near the corners of the mouth tend to flow downwards. Crow's feet and wrinkles on temples are becoming more and more obvious.
The facial expression has become old and somewhat sad-looking.
Our facial will have many problems, such as dry skin, dullness, loose and sagging skin, and the facial muscles take a long time to recover when lightly pressed on the skin.
There are melasma, dark spots, dark circles and somewhat dull, uneven skin tone.
Wrinkles on the neck, hands, double chin/face fat...
Signs of skin lack of firmness can appear individually or simultaneously, depending on each person's condition. In particular, when the body changes significantly, the symptoms of skin ageing are more obvious.
As you age, especially when you turn 30, the amount of collagen and elastin in the skin will weaken and decrease dramatically. At this time, the skin begins to show signs of ageing, lacks firmness and no longer has good elasticity.
Eating too many sweets or lipids causes loose skin, where sugar molecules attach themselves to collagen and elastin fibres, causing these protein fibres to lose elasticity and become more fragile. From there, leading to the ageing process, the skin appears to have many wrinkles, darkens and sags.
Lack of sleep also causes loose and loss of facial contours. Human skin has the ability to regenerate itself during sleep. Therefore, sleeping 8 hours a day is essential for the skin to have enough time to recover after a long day affected by many factors.
UV rays in the sun are a considerable danger to human skin. They damage the skin cells by entering the dermis, accelerating our ageing process. The more sun exposure, the more collagen the skin loses, making it less elastic.
Environmental impacts such as smog and air pollution also make the skin dark and dry. When collagen and elastin are destroyed, the skin will appear saggy and makes it appear more wrinkled.
The skin rapidly stretches as a result of sudden weight gain, and damages the collagen and elastin fibers. Therefore, when you lose weight quickly, the skin will not be able to irritate in time, leading to sagging and difficulty improving firmness again.
Most pregnant and postpartum women experience some degree of loose skin. For those who give birth multiple times or carry various pregnancies, the abdomen skin will sag more than young people who have just given birth to one child. In addition, the older the pregnant person, the more likely the skin will sag.
Loose skin on the elbows and knees can be a sign of some medical conditions. Sagging in the skin body and facial areas due to granulomatous does not respond well to treatment. One particular syndrome that causes sagging skin is Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). This is a rare, inherited connective tissue disorder that causes defects in collagen production, making facial skin prone to flabby and sagging.
Anxiety also causes a lack of skin firmness. With prolonged stress, the corners of the lips are pulled down, and the eyebrows furrowed for a long time, causing the facial muscles to contract and sag. Furthermore, prolonged depression also increases hormone cortisol levels, directly affecting the skin and hair.
When gradually reducing the amount of sugar tolerated into the body, the production of collagen and elastin is rebalanced, thereby helping to keep elasticity and firmer skin. According to the American Heart Association AHA, the maximum amount of sugar needed in a day:
For men: 150 calories per day, equivalent to 9 teaspoons.
For Women: 100 calories per day, equivalent to 6 teaspoons.
Many moisturizers are fortified with antioxidant ingredients to help revitalize the skin. But the best solution is still an internal impact. To improve skin that lacks firmness, add antioxidant-rich foods such as:
Fruits: Raspberries, blueberries, pomegranates, black currants, plums...
Vegetables: Kale, asparagus, cabbage, spinach…
Spices and herbs: Marjoram, mint, cumin, chilli, cinnamon, cloves, pepper, turmeric…
In any case, you must not forget to wash your face thoroughly before going to bed and after waking up in the morning. Especially when you are wearing a thick layer of makeup. Substances in cosmetics are gradually absorbed through the pores and accumulate over time, causing skin oxidation. Therefore, it is necessary to use a cleanser to remove excess oil or dirt from the skin. Then, use a little ice water to gently rub on your face to tighten the pores.
Beta carotene and vitamin A have the ability to prevent and slow down the skin aging process. Beta carotene has been shown to block UV rays from the sun that cause skin to sag. Othewise vitamin A helps to stimulate the production of collagen elasticity. The recommended daily intake of vitamin A and beta carotene is 30 mg. You can increase these nutrients from foods such as carrots, sweet potatoes, kale, spinach, cantaloupe...
Firming face masks will lift your skin, give it a boost of energy and improve many other skin problems. You can easily use some simple homemade skin tightening face masks with ingredients readily available in your pantry to restore the firmness of skin without loading it with harmful chemicals, such as cucumber essence mask, avocado and yogurt mask, coconut oil and baking soda mask.
Place the index and middle fingers on the skin of your face and stretch from the inside out, from bottom to top.
Do the movement about 10 times before going to bed and after waking up in the morning. You can combine it with tightening cream for a better effect.
BBL skin tightening treatment consists of 2 steps:
Step 1: Recover skin surface with a broadband light energy
Step 2: BBL SkinTyte uses a non-invasive heat that is FDA-cleared to lift and tighten skin, which is very safe in dermatology.
Step 1: The SkinTyte™ procedure utilizes a suitable broadband light energy to quickly and gently heat the upper layers of the skin while cooling and protecting the entire treated surface. This process creates a renewed collagen and elastin, leading to increased skin firmness. Problems such as large pores, dullness, less smoothness ... will be overcome.
Step 2, BBL SkinTyte mechanism will solve the problem of sagging skin. BBL SkinTyte's firming mechanism is based on the mechanism of exerting energy on the surrounding soft tissue, and collagen in the epidermis, stimulating the activity of fibroblasts, producing new collagen networks, and initiating the body’s natural healing process, leading to skin re-modelling and increased firmness. As a result, it helps regenerate the skin structure and improve the skin’s firmness. SkinTyte can treat for all skin types, all skin tones, and also most areas of the body (neck, hands, thighs, abdomen,..) where improvement is desired, giving you a more youthful appearance.
Laser Q-switched technology is commonly used in the field of skin aesthetic treatment. Similar to BBL, Laser Q-Switched penetrates the dermis, helping to enhance collagen and elastin, thereby regenerating the surface and supporting membranes of the skin, giving you the appearance of firmer, youthful-looking skin, smoother, eliminating wrinkles and fine lines.
HIFU technology uses high intensity focused ultrasound (short for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) to impact the skin to rejuvenate. By irradiating HIFU to a dermis, a thermal coagulation point focused on the area occurs, and the skin tissue can be coagulated to perform facial lifting, thanks to use an exclusive mechanism of Thermal Diffusion Treatment (TDT ™) Technology. Therefore, customers will not feel discomfort or pain like the older ultrasound generators. At the same time, the effect is also higher by getting various types of heat energy into the skin more effectively, which generates stability and precision, without damaging other skin areas.
HIFU LIFTERA ultrasound waves affect a depth of SMAS layer of 3 - 4.5mm below the skin's surface, where the most collagen and elastin are produced to support the upper skin muscle. At the SMAS layer, HIFU ultrasound waves for 6000 shots continuously create a high-temperature column of 60 - 70 degrees Celsius to destroy the old and weak collagen and increase the production of strong new collagen and elastin fibres. As a result, a new layer of skin will help firm muscle fibres and facial lifting slimmer.
The effect of lifting and tightening the skin by HIFU technology with results visible after treatment and lasts 1-2 years. HIFU technology is proven 100% safe for skin by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Therefore, customers can be completely assured when using this technology to restore a youthful contour of the face.
