What is Skin Laxity?
Skin laxity, or the loss of skin firmness, is a natural part of the aging process where the skin begins to appear looser or saggy. This occurs when the skin’s collagen and elastin—two proteins responsible for its tight, youthful appearance—begin to diminish.
While it’s a universal experience, the degree and onset of skin laxity vary widely among individuals, influenced by genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors.
Different Causes of Skin Laxity
Several factors contribute to the development of skin laxity, including:
- Aging. The natural decline in collagen and elastin production as we age is the primary cause of skin laxity.
- Sun Exposure. UV radiation accelerates collagen breakdown, leading to premature skin aging and sagging.
- Lifestyle Factors. Smoking, poor nutrition, and lack of exercise can negatively impact skin health and elasticity.
- Weight Fluctuations. Significant weight loss can leave skin stretched and unable to retract.
Beauty Treatments to Fight Skin Laxity
At Applied Aesthetic, we offer a suite of treatments tailored to combat skin laxity, each designed to meet the unique needs of our clients.
Among these are:
- Wrinkle Relaxers. These treatments work by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles responsible for wrinkles and fine lines. Ideal for dynamic wrinkles that appear with expressions, wrinkle relaxers can smooth the skin, offering a more youthful and refreshed appearance. They are particularly effective in areas such as the forehead, around the eyes, and between the brows.
- Dermal Fillers. To address volume loss and provide structural support to the skin, dermal fillers are an excellent option. These injectable treatments can plump up areas that have sagged or hollowed over time, such as cheeks, jawlines, and under-eye areas. By restoring volume, dermal fillers can significantly reduce the appearance of skin laxity, offering a more youthful contour and enhancing facial symmetry.
- Morpheus8. It offers minimally invasive bipolar radiofrequency (RF) tissue treatment, delivering deep fractional treatments that stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. Its customizable options cater to various treatment areas to ensure precision and efficacy in targeting subcutaneous tissue.
