Skin Laxity

Skin Laxity

Skin laxity, or the loosening of the skin, occurs as we age and lose essential proteins like collagen and elastin, leading to sagging and a lack of firmness. Fortunately, various advanced treatments can help tighten and rejuvenate the skin, restoring a more youthful appearance. Below are some effective options for addressing this condition on both the face and body.

How Does Skin Laxity Occur?

Skin laxity happens when the skin loses its natural firmness and elasticity due to the breakdown of essential structural components like collagen and elastin. This loss can lead to sagging and a less toned appearance. Several factors contribute to this concern, including the natural ageing process, prolonged sun exposure, significant weight changes, and certain lifestyle choices. While it is often most noticeable on the face, causing a tired or aged look, skin laxity can also affect the body, particularly in areas such as the arms, abdomen, and thighs, resulting in a loss of definition.

At SRGN, Dr Ayad Harb and his team offer a range of innovative treatments to address this concern, tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. Whether you’re looking to tighten loose skin on the face, neck, or body, our treatments are designed to restore firmness, improve skin texture, and rejuvenate your overall appearance.

Types of Skin Laxity and Treatments

Facial

Facial laxity often manifests as sagging cheeks, jowls, or loose skin around the eyes. Treatments like Ultherapy or radiofrequency skin tightening can stimulate collagen production, lifting and firming the skin for a more youthful contour.

Neck

Loose skin on the neck, commonly referred to as “turkey neck,” can be treated with neck lift surgery or non-surgical options like thread lifting. These treatments tighten the skin and restore a smoother, more defined neckline.

Body

Body laxity, particularly after significant weight loss, can lead to sagging in areas like the abdomen, arms, and thighs. Body contouring treatments, including liposuction or non-invasive skin tightening procedures, can effectively address these concerns by reshaping and firming the affected areas.

Post-Pregnancy

Many women experience it after pregnancy, especially around the abdomen. Treatments like the “Mummy Makeover” or tummy tuck surgery can restore the body’s pre-pregnancy shape by removing excess skin and tightening the underlying muscles.
