Skin Laxity

Skin laxity refers to the gradual loss of skin firmness and elasticity, often resulting in sagging, crepiness, or a loose appearance.

We help clients concerned about loose, sagging, or crepey skin. Skin laxity is a natural part of the aging process but can also be influenced by genetics, lifestyle, and environmental exposure. Whether it’s on the face, neck, or body, skin laxity can be safely and effectively improved with non-surgical treatments. 

What Is Skin Laxity? 

Skin laxity refers to the loss of firmness and elasticity in the skin. It occurs when collagen and elastin production slow down and connective tissues weaken, often leading to: 

  • Looseness in the lower face or jawline (jowls) 
  • Sagging skin on the neck and décolletage 
  • Crepey skin on the upper arms, abdomen, or thighs 
  • Fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and eyes 

Skin laxity of the face may also result from deeper volume loss—involving fat, muscle, and even bone. 

Common Causes 

  • Natural aging – The biggest contributor to collagen and elastin breakdown 
  • Genetics – Some individuals are more prone to early skin laxity 
  • Sun damage – Accelerates collagen loss and skin thinning 
  • Weight fluctuations – Can overstretch the skin and reduce its rebound 
  • Lifestyle factors – Smoking, stress, and poor diet all negatively affect skin integrity 

Prevention Tips 

  • Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to minimize sun-induced collagen breakdown 
  • Avoid smoking and prioritize sleep, hydration, and balanced nutrition 
  • Use professional-grade skincare with active ingredients that support collagen production 
  • Start preventative treatments before laxity becomes severe 

How to Treat Skin Laxity 

We offer multiple evidence-based treatments to restore skin firmness and elasticity: 

Dermal Fillers 

Hyaluronic acid fillers can provide structure and lift, especially in areas where volume loss contributes to sagging. 

Biostimulators – Radiesse® 

Radiesse stimulates natural collagen production for long-term skin firming. When hyperdiluted, it is injected more superficially to improve crepey texture and mild laxity. 

Potenza RF Microneedling 

This cutting-edge treatment uses radiofrequency energy with microneedling to stimulate deep collagen remodeling and skin tightening on the face and body. 

Dermapen DP4 Microneedling 

A proven collagen-induction therapy to improve skin tone, texture, and early laxity. Can be enhanced with PRP. 

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) 

When applied or injected, PRP helps rejuvenate the skin by stimulating growth factors and natural tissue repair.
