Skin Laxity

Skin laxity refers to loose or sagging skin caused by collagen and elastin breakdown. It affects the face, neck, and body.

Signs

Loose or drooping skin on the face, neck, jawline, or body that does not snap back when gently pulled.

Causes

Aging, sun exposure, weight fluctuations, genetics, and loss of underlying structural support.

Assessment

We assess skin elasticity, degree of laxity, underlying volume loss, and candidacy for non-surgical vs. surgical options.

Treatment

Radiofrequency, ultrasound skin tightening, microneedling with RF, and collagen-stimulating treatments firm the skin.
