What's actually happening to your skin after rapid weight loss
Seven questions. Two minutes. A protocol matched to where your skin actually is, not a generic recommendation.
Where are you on your weight loss journey?
What have you noticed about your skin?
Where are you noticing it most?
Elastin production essentially stops after puberty.
That's why skin doesn't spring back on its own. Collagen is different, and that's the half that can be rebuilt.
When do you notice it most?
What have you tried so far?
The problem is 1 to 4mm below the surface.
Which is why moisturisers never reached it. Two more questions.
Be honest. How much is this on your mind?
This decides which protocol we recommend, so answer how you actually feel.
What can you realistically stick to?
There's no wrong answer. We'll match the routine to your life, not the other way round.
Sustained stretching pulls the collagen scaffold in your dermis out of shape. When the volume underneath goes, that stretched scaffold is what's left behind.
Elastin is the part that would snap it back, and your body stopped making it after puberty. It isn't replaced, so skin doesn't spring back on its own.
Collagen is the other half, and it behaves differently. The cells that build it keep working for life, so with the right signal it can be rebuilt.
