Skip to content Skin laxity is when the skin loses its firmness and becomes loose or saggy. This often results from aging, significant weight loss, or environmental factors like sun exposure. Skin elasticity diminishes as collagen and elastin fibers break down, leading to a less youthful appearance. Skin laxity affects various body parts, including the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs. Treatments to address skin laxity include non-surgical options like radiofrequency therapy, ultrasound treatments, and laser therapies, which stimulate collagen production to tighten the skin. In more severe cases, surgical procedures like facelifts or body lifts may be necessary to remove excess skin and achieve a firmer look.
Skin laxity can affect anyone, but it is more common in older adults or those with significant weight changes. When treating skin laxity, you can expect a thorough consultation to determine the best treatment plan. Non-surgical treatments typically require multiple sessions over several weeks or months, with each session lasting about 30 to 60 minutes. Surgical treatments involve a longer recovery period but provide more immediate and dramatic results.
