7 Reasons Your Face May Be Sagging—And Expert Tips to Help Tighten It Up

Advertisement

Ao chegar aos 40 anos ou após uma perda significativa de peso, muitas pessoas notam que o rosto perde a definição. Também podem surgir os primeiros sinais de flacidez na linha da mandíbula, com pequenas quedas laterais que acentuam os sulcos ao redor da boca. Esse processo é natural, mas é possível agir contra ele — e o ideal é começar cedo.

Para esclarecer mitos e fatos sobre o envelhecimento da pele, foram consultados o médico Moisés Amselem, com mais de 20 anos de experiência em medicina estética, e a farmacêutica Marta Munar, fundadora da conceituada Farmácia G19, em Madri.

Por que a linha da mandíbula perde definição e quando isso começa?

“Costuma-se dizer que os cuidados com a saúde deveriam ser mais preventivos”, afirma o Dr. Amselem. “Embora a flacidez se torne muito mais visível após os 40 anos, devemos começar a pensar nela por volta dos 30 anos para nos anteciparmos.”

A farmacêutica Marta Munar explica que a capacidade da pele de sintetizar colágeno e elastina começa a diminuir já aos 25 anos. Com a redução dessas proteínas essenciais, os níveis naturais de ácido hialurônico também caem, deixando a pele mais seca. “Como resultado, a pele perde a capacidade de ‘voltar ao lugar’ e começa a ficar flácida”, diz ela. “A perda de definição costuma ser mais evidente na região da mandíbula.”

7 hábitos de vida que ajudam a evitar flacidez e marcas de expressão

Segundo o Dr. Amselem, as melhores formas de prevenir o envelhecimento precoce da pele incluem:

Manter hábitos saudáveis: alimentação equilibrada, atividade física, boa hidratação e sono de qualidade. Evitar dietas de efeito sanfona. Proteger a pele do sol com protetor solar todos os dias, durante o ano todo. Exercitar os músculos da face. Evitar dormir de lado para reduzir as chamadas “marcas de travesseiro”. Aplicar antioxidantes tópicos, como vitamina C, para estimular o colágeno; vitamina E e retinol também são opções, com orientação profissional. Em relação a procedimentos estéticos, o médico recomenda aqueles que estimulam a produção de colágeno, como bioestimuladores injetáveis e tratamentos com radiofrequência ou ultrassom microfocado. A melhor abordagem deve ser definida com um especialista.

7 fatores que aceleram a flacidez facial

O Dr. Amselem lista as condições que tornam a pele mais propensa à flacidez precoce:

Predisposição genética Perda de peso significativa em curto período ou oscilações de peso frequentes Exposição solar sem proteção Exposição prolongada à luz azul de dispositivos eletrônicos Falta de alimentação equilibrada rica em proteínas e hidratação inadequada Exercícios de alto impacto (como corrida), que podem reduzir a gordura facial e acelerar a flacidez Menopausa sem reposição hormonal adequada

5 ingredientes ativos essenciais para firmar a pele

A farmacêutica Marta Munar recomenda os seguintes ativos para melhorar a firmeza da pele:

Antioxidantes – como a vitamina C, que estimula colágeno e elastina e combate danos dos radicais livres. Retinol – um dos ingredientes com mais comprovação científica; estimula colágeno e ácido hialurônico, melhorando firmeza e rugas. Ácido hialurônico – atrai e retém água na pele, com efeito preenchedor que melhora a elasticidade e suaviza linhas de expressão. Ácido glicólico – promove a renovação celular; em concentrações mais altas, estimula colágeno e ácido hialurônico, melhorando firmeza, elasticidade e luminosidade.

O Dr. Amselem acrescenta que o uso de aparelhos de radiofrequência caseiros, associado a massagens faciais e produtos dermatologicamente testados, também pode trazer benefícios.
