The loss of elasticity and firmness in the skin, often resulting in sagging or drooping skin.
Skin laxity is an age-related skin condition where the skin begins to lose some of its elasticity. It appears most frequently around the cheeks and the jawline. It can also occur around the body, especially in patients who have lost a significant amount of weight over time.
Skin laxity appears most frequently on the face as we age or after losing weight. Signs to look for include:
Look for loss of volume in the cheeks and around the eyes.
Cheeks that seem to drop is another sign of reduced skin laxity
A heavier fold in the nasolabial region, AKA creases in your skin extending from both sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth.
A jawline that is less firm or less even can also be an indicator.
Tissue tightening uses ultrasound or radiofrequency energy to heat up the dermal layer of the skin. The delivered heat promotes collagen regrowth and strengthens collagen fibers. This ultimately firms the skin and decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Laser Skin Resurfacing – Ablative is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure that utilizes laser technology to improve skin texture and tone. By precisely removing outer layers of damaged skin, this treatment stimulates collagen production, resulting in a smoother, more youthful complexion. It effectively targets a range of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and sun damage, providing clients with a refreshed and revitalized appearance.
Radiofrequency microneedling is an effective treatment for fine lines, skin tightening and facial rejuvenation. Microneedling with radiofrequency specifically uses radiofrequency energy to gently heat the deeper layer of skin. Then as the skin grows back with new collagen and elastin, the surface will naturally thicken and tighten. Treatment is minimally invasive and is considered safe and effective for all skin types.
SkinPen® is a state-of-the-art, FDA-approved precision microneedling device. It is used by leading healthcare providers to rejuvenate from the inside out for younger looking skin.
