Quick answer · What is Loss of Skin Elasticity?
Loss of skin elasticity is a decline in the skin's ability to stay firm and spring back, caused by collagen and elastin breakdown with age, sun exposure, smoking and weight changes. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong it is usually treated with collagen-building devices such as Thermage FLX or Titanium lifting, often combined with boosters like Rejuran or Juvelook. Sessions take 20–60 minutes with little or no downtime, and firmness improves over two to three months.

How it works
Why skin loses its bounce and how it is rebuilt
Collagen gives skin its structure and elastin lets it spring back, and both decline steadily with age, UV exposure and lifestyle factors. Radiofrequency and laser-based lifting heat the dermis to stimulate new collagen, while polynucleotide and collagen-stimulating boosters improve skin thickness and quality, so firmness returns gradually.
-
