This reduces the skin’s ability to retain elasticity (from elastin ) and moisture (from hyaluronic acid).     What happens when skin ages? 1.Drier skin 2.Thinner skin 3.Less elastic skin 4.Skin more likely to wrinkle or sag 5.Reduction in collagen   The first tissue tightening treatment was addressed 15yrs ago with CO2 laser surgery.
