Ever wondered whether your skin care routine is actually\nworking? In addition to wrinkles and fine lines, it\u2019s common for patients to\nworry about having saggy skin on the face, neck, or body. Unfortunately, over time,\nthe collagen and elastin that make up the structure of the skin are produced in\nsmaller quantities. Even if you\u2019re making efforts to care for your skin, a\nhappy hour habit, too much time sunbathing at the beach, exposure to air pollution,\nand not getting enough beauty sleep could be wrecking your complexion. These\nfactors cause you to lose skin elasticity\u2014meaning the skin\u2019s ability to spring\nback to its original position after it is stretched or pulled. Our Skin\nWellness Physicians team provides laser\nskin resurfacing for Naples<\/a> patients to firm up the skin, along with\nother treatments that boost collagen production, tighten tissues, and give the\nsurface a smoother and firmer quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could you benefit from such a treatment? There are some\nsimple ways of knowing whether your skin is behaving they way it is supposed to\nin terms of elasticity, flexibility, and resilience. Try any of these at home\nto get an idea of what\u2019s going on with your skin:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 The\nSnap Test <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the ways of testing how healthy your skin is to use your\nthumb and forefinger to lightly pinch the skin underneath the eyes and see how\nquickly it snaps back into place. Healthy skin springs back right away. Skin\nthat is dehydrated or has lost its elasticity will take a longer time to return\nto its position after you pull it out a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 The\nPinch Test <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another technique for testing skin elasticity involves gently\npinching the skin on your cheeks, arm, or abdomen. Similar to the snap test, if\nit the skin is slower to bounce back to its shape, this can indicate a loss of\nelasticity or dehydration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Check\nfor Signs of Aging <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re wondering how your skin is doing, simply take a\ncloser look in the mirror for the earliest signs of elasticity loss. These are\nsigns that you may not have noticed before, such as fine lines around the eyes or\nminor sagging around the lower face area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
