Skin Laxity

Skin Laxity is something we will all experience as we age regardless of how much we work out or how healthy we eat. There are environmental factors that can play a part in skin laxity as well such as pollution and sun exposure. Maintaining tight, youthful looking skin depends on how much collagen and elastin we hold on to, which are two components of the deep layer of the skin called the dermis.

Causes of Skin Laxity

As we age we begin to lose these two vital components, elastin and collagen so our skin begins to lose elasticity resulting in loose or sagging skin.

Symptoms & Diagnosis of Skin Laxity

Many people notice signs of aging when skin begins to sag around the face and neck. Laser skin tightening is appropriate for men and women of all skin types and skin tones who wish to achieve dramatic results without painful surgery and lengthy recovery times. The most successful laser skin tightening candidates experience permanent results as the collagen under their skin is regenerated, producing a more youthful complexion.

Treatments for Skin Laxity

Morpheus8 : Radiofrequency microneedling provides minimally invasive skin treatment for a vast array of common skin imperfections. It gently sends RF energy into the layers beneath your skin, stimulating collagen production and your body's natural healing process but without damaging healthy tissues

Microneedling: Microneedling creates a controlled injury to the skin causing your body's cells to stimulate collagen. This process causes a tightening to the skin giving your elasticity significant improvement.

Sculptra: Sculptra is Poly-L-lactic acid. Sculptra is used to stimulate collagen production to increase the volume in your face giving you a more youthful appearance.

Hyperdilute Radiesse: Calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) is a well-established collagen stimulator. In recent years, it has been increasingly used in hyperdiluted form as a biostimulatory agent rather than a volumizing filler to improve skin quality and firmness in both facial and corporal areas.
