How does skin laxity occur as described in the text?

Ruffini corpuscles are specialized for sensing fine touch and gentle pressure.

Photoaging is caused solely by intrinsic chronological aging.

Lamellated (Pacinian) corpuscles are encapsulated mechanoreceptors responsible for detecting vibrations.

One of the main clinical features of photoaging is smooth skin texture.

Skin aging only affects the epidermal layer of the skin.

UV exposure primarily leads to an increase in collagen production in the skin.

Subcutaneous fat loss causes skin laxity in the aging face.

Melanoma is a non-melanocytic type of skin cancer.

Tanning is a protective mechanism of the skin against UV damage.

Darkening of the skin due to UV exposure is solely caused by increased melanin production.
