Sagging Skin & Elasticity
At Asquith Doctors, experienced General Practitioners provide professional, evidence-based advice for patients concerned about sagging skin or reduced elasticity.
Loss of firmness is a natural effect of ageing and may also be influenced by lifestyle, genetics, sun exposure, or significant weight changes.
GPs at Asquith Doctors offer medical assessment, tailored guidance, and coordinated care to ensure any next steps are medically appropriate and supported by recognised clinical standards.
Understanding Changes in Skin Elasticity
As collagen, elastin, and sub-dermal fat decrease over time, skin gradually becomes less firm. External factors such as UV exposure, dehydration, stress, and smoking can accelerate this process.
Your GP can assess your overall health and discuss realistic, evidence-based strategies to support skin quality, which may include:
- Preventive lifestyle and nutrition advice
- Discussion of clinically supported topical care
- Referrals to accredited dermatologists or cosmetic physicians for further assessment
Common reasons to see a GP include:
- Noticing visible changes in skin firmness with age or weight change
- Seeking guidance on evidence-based non-surgical approaches
- Requesting referral for specialist review
- Discussing sun protection and preventive care
What to Expect During Your GP Consultation
Your GP will discuss your skin concerns, review health and medication history, and examine affected areas.
Depending on your needs, your GP may:
- Explain how nutrition, hydration, and lifestyle influence skin structure
- Recommend topical or medical-grade skincare where appropriate
- Provide preventive guidance on sun protection and healthy ageing
- Offer referrals to accredited specialists who perform non-surgical skin procedures
All recommendations are made with consideration for your health status and medical safety standards.
