Skin Laxity

What Is Skin Laxity?

Skin laxity refers to loose, sagging, or less firm skin that develops as the skin loses its natural support over time. It commonly affects the face, neck, jawline, arms, abdomen, thighs, and knees. Skin laxity can make the skin look crepey, droopy, or less defined—even in individuals who maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Skin laxity is a normal part of aging, but with the right treatments, it can be significantly improved.

Why Skin Laxity Happens

Firm, youthful skin relies on a strong support network beneath the surface.

1. Collagen & Elastin Breakdown

Collagen provides strength and structure, while elastin allows skin to snap back. As we age, production of both declines, and existing fibers break down.

2. Loss of Structural Support

Aging affects not just skin, but also fat, muscle, and bone. When these deeper layers change, the skin loses its foundation.

3. Sun Damage

UV exposure accelerates collagen breakdown and is one of the biggest contributors to skin laxity.

4. Weight Changes

Rapid or significant weight loss can stretch the skin beyond its ability to recoil.

5. Lifestyle & Internal Factors

Smoking, chronic stress, inflammation, hormonal changes, and poor nutrition all weaken skin structure over time.

How Skin Laxity Is Treated

The goal of treatment is to stimulate collagen, tighten existing fibers, and support long-term skin strength.

Energy-Based Skin Tightening

Radiofrequency (RF) treatments heat deeper skin layers to trigger collagen remodeling
Results improve gradually as new collagen forms

Microneedling & Regenerative Treatments

Microneedling and RF microneedling create controlled stimulation to boost collagen and elastin
Biostimulatory injectables encourage natural collagen production over time

Injectable & Structural Support (When Appropriate)

Strategic use of fillers can restore support and improve skin drape
Treatments are designed to look natural—not overdone

Medical-Grade Skincare

Retinoids to support collagen production
Antioxidants to protect existing collagen
Daily sunscreen to prevent further breakdown

Lifestyle & Functional Medicine Support

Skin firmness reflects overall health.

Nutrition for Skin Strength

Adequate protein intake supports collagen synthesis
Vitamin C, zinc, and amino acids are essential for skin repair
Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation

Hormonal & Metabolic Health

Hormonal shifts can accelerate skin thinning
Addressing thyroid or menopausal changes may improve skin quality

Sleep, Stress & Inflammation

Poor sleep and chronic stress increase collagen breakdown
Stress management and restorative sleep support skin repair

What to Expect

Skin tightening results develop gradually over 2–6 months
Maintenance treatments help sustain improvement
Combination therapy delivers the most noticeable, natural results
