Skin Laxity & Loss of Firmness

Skin laxity refers to the gradual loss of firmness and elasticity that occurs as collagen and elastin production naturally declines with age. These structural proteins are responsible for keeping the skin tight, supported, and resilient. As their levels decrease, the skin becomes looser and less able to maintain its shape, leading to sagging or crepey texture on the face, neck, and body. This process can be accelerated by factors such as sun exposure, weight changes, pregnancy, hormonal shifts, and lifestyle influences. Skin laxity may present as a softer jawline, drooping cheeks, loose skin on the abdomen or arms, or loss of tone around the knees or thighs. Effective treatment focuses on stimulating collagen production within the deeper layers of the skin to improve firmness, structure, and long-term skin strength rather than simply tightening the surface.
