Understanding Skin Laxity and Firmness
Skin laxity refers to a gradual loss of firmness and elasticity that occurs as collagen and elastin production slows. This process can be influenced by natural aging, sun exposure, weight changes, hydration levels, and overall skin health. When the skin’s support structure weakens, it may appear looser, thinner, or less resilient.
Treating skin laxity focuses on strengthening the skin from within rather than altering its surface. By stimulating collagen and supporting skin structure, treatments can help improve firmness, elasticity, and overall skin integrity over time.
Because skin laxity can present differently from person to person, treatment plans are customized based on skin behavior, goals, and areas of concern.
OUR APPROACH
Skin laxity is evaluated and treated based on how the skin functions, not just how it looks. We focus on strengthening the skin by supporting collagen production, elasticity, and overall skin resilience.
Treatment plans are developed after assessing skin thickness, firmness, and areas of concern, along with factors such as aging, sun exposure, and weight changes. Care may include treatments performed by our licensed providers, advanced licensed esthetician, or a combination of both, depending on what your skin needs.
The goal is gradual, natural improvement in skin firmness and structure, with treatments selected to support long-term skin health rather than temporary tightening effects.
Treatment Options
Treatment options for skin laxity are selected based on skin structure, firmness, and overall goals. Care may include one or a combination of the following:
Sculptra®
A biostimulator injectable that works by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production over time. Sculptra supports skin structure and firmness gradually, helping improve skin laxity by strengthening the skin from within rather than adding immediate volume.
Often used as a collagen biostimulator treatment for skin laxity, thinning skin, and age-related volume loss.
personalized treatments for skin TIGHTENING
Skin laxity can appear differently depending on age, skin type, weight changes, and overall skin health. Because of this, treatment is never one-size-fits-all. We offer a range of options that allow us to treat skin laxity at different stages and levels of severity.
Care may involve non-invasive treatments, injectable options, or a combination approach guided by your goals and how your skin responds. Plans are developed collaboratively, with attention to both immediate concerns and long-term skin support.
Our focus is on helping the skin regain strength, firmness, and resilience in a natural, balanced way.
Not sure where to start?
If you’re unsure which treatment is right for your skin, we recommend starting with an advanced skin analysis and consultation.
Using advanced imaging technology, we assess what’s happening both on the surface of your skin and below it. This allows us to evaluate hydration, texture, tone, elasticity, congestion patterns, pigment, and early changes that aren’t visible in regular lighting.
During your visit, you’ll review your images and results directly with your licenced provider, so you understand what your skin is doing now, how it’s changing, and where its strengths and areas of concern are showing up.
This information becomes a useful reference point. You can use it to guide your home skincare routine, track progress over time, or decide whether in-office treatments make sense for your goals.
