WHAT IS SKIN LAXITY?

Skin laxity refers to the loss of skin firmness and elasticity, leading to sagging and wrinkles. It occurs as the skin's structural components—collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid—gradually break down due to aging, environmental factors, and lifestyle habits.

​

Causes of Skin Laxity:

  • Aging – Natural decline in collagen and elastin production.

  • Sun Damage (UV Exposure) – Breaks down skin proteins, accelerating aging.

  • Weight Loss – Rapid weight loss can lead to loose, sagging skin.

  • Hormonal Changes – Estrogen loss (e.g., during menopause) affects skin firmness.

  • Lifestyle Factors – Smoking, poor nutrition, and dehydration contribute to loss of skin elasticity.
     

Common Areas Affected:

  • Face (cheeks, jawline, under eyes)

  • Neck and décolletage

  • Arms and hands

  • Abdomen and thighs
     

Maintaining skin firmness requires a combination of preventative care, advanced treatments, and a consistent skincare routine to restore a youthful, lifted appearance.
