what causes skin laxity on the abdomen?
Several factors contribute to skin laxity in the abdominal area:
Ageing - Collagen and elastin production naturally decline over time, making the skin thinner and less resilient.
Pregnancy - Stretching of the skin during pregnancy can reduce its ability to retract fully.
Weight fluctuations - Repeated gain and loss of weight can weaken the skin’s supportive structure.
Sun exposure - UV rays accelerate collagen breakdown, further impacting skin firmness.
Genetics - Some people are naturally more prone to skin laxity.
Appearance
