Skin Laxity
Skin laxity is one of the most common aging concerns we see, and one of the most treatable without going under the knife. As collagen and elastin decline over the years, the skin loses its ability to hold its structure, and the result shows most visibly along the jawline, neck, brow and cheeks. At Bella Sante MD, we have a range of clinical options that address skin laxity at different depths and degrees of severity, and we will recommend the right one based on what your skin actually needs.
FAQs on Skin Laxity
Collagen production begins to decline in the mid to late 20s, but visible laxity most commonly becomes noticeable in the 30s and 40s. Early intervention tends to produce better outcomes, as it is easier to maintain existing collagen than to rebuild what has already been lost.
Yes. There are several non-surgical treatments that effectively address skin laxity at varying depths and degrees of severity. The right option depends on how significant the laxity is and which areas are affected, which we assess at your consultation.
All three stimulate collagen and improve skin laxity, but they work at different depths and suit different presentations. We will assess your skin in person and explain which option, or which combination, is most likely to get you the result you are looking for.
Results vary by treatment. Thermage results can last several years, Ultherapy typically lasts a year or more, and collagen stimulating injectables like biostimulators can last up to 2 years.
