What Causes Loose & Saggy Skin?
Loose and saggy skin is often a result of decreased collagen production and skin elasticity that naturally occurs with aging. The rate of collagen loss accelerates as we age beginning in our 20s. By the end of your 40s, you could be losing around 10-20% of your collagen. This accelerates to about 30% in the first few years post menopause for women. Sun exposure can worsen this process by damaging the skin’s fibers, leading to premature aging. Additionally, significant weight loss or genetics can also contribute to the loss of firmness in the skin. Understanding these factors can help in selecting the most effective treatment to restore your skin’s tightness and elasticity.

Outstanding customer service is a rare commodity now and days. When it is encountered, it should be acknowledged. I would like to single out Meena at Vital Clinic and Spa as such an example. She proved on several occasions the level of dedication and integrity that we could only hope to be fortunate to encounter once in a while. I found that Vital fosters this level of dedication within their group. I am glad to be one of their patients.

I took my teen daughter to Vital Clinic and Spa to get a facial and Jennifer was amazing. My daughter really enjoyed the experience and immediately felt her face smoother right after. We were both very pleased with the results. Jennifer did a great job and went above and beyond by providing tips on how to properly clean and take care of your face. We look forward in visiting again. Thank you for the great service Jennifer!
