What causes loose or baggy skin?
There’s nothing you can do to stop ageing, but there is a lot we can do to help to prevent the visible signs of ageing. How our skin looks affects how old we feel and how old we look to others. Your skin is hugely influenced by your body’s general wellbeing and if your body is not healthy it is often reflected by your skin.
Firm and youthful looking skin can be difficult to achieve but you will be surprised at how regular moisturising / hydration of the skin will help. Exercise is very important to maintaining firm skin because without it, your skin can look dull and your muscles can start to deflate causing your skin to hang. Eating a healthy balanced diet and drinking plenty of water will also help to keep you looking and feeling young.
How fast and how much your skin ages is determined by, in part, genetics. Far more important factors are smoking, pollution, sun tanning stress and lack of sleep and poor nutrition.
So is there anything you can do to lessen the effects of aging on your skin? Yes, you have lots of options and the first thing you need to do is to talk to the expert therapist at your local salon providing Totalcare treatments.
The experts recommend:
Eosonic therapy is a combination of 4 treatments that together give you all the gain and none of the pain, helping you slim, tone and target the specific problem areas of your body. Not only is it for weight loss and cellulite treatment, but it is a personalised and stress free therapy. Firstly ultrasound metabolises fats and reduces cellulite. Then electro stimulation shapes and tones up muscles in specific problem areas. Next, direct heat enlarges the capillaries to make it easier for the toxins to leave while colour therapy improves your overall bodily function.

The
IsoSonic system is a combination of 4 therapies that target all types of localised fat and cellulite. Ultrasound breaks down cellulite while infrared liquefies hard fats trapped inside the skin. Vacuum rollers lift and drain the broken down cellulite and toxins, helping your own natural lymph to take them away. The appearance and firmness of the skin tissue is further improved through chromotherapy which stimulates collagen and elastin production and new cells. IsoSonic is proven to treat all stages of cellulite and fatty deposits. It is an intensive but comfortable treatment with long lasting results and is ideal for remodelling or localised anti-cellulite slimming.
