Skin Laxity

Concern

Skin laxity refers to a gradual loss of firmness and elasticity that can cause the skin to appear looser, softer or less defined. It may affect the face, jawline, neck or body and can range from mild softening to more noticeable sagging.

The Causes

Skin laxity develops as the skin and its underlying support structures gradually change over time. Ageing, sun exposure and changes in weight or facial volume can all affect firmness and definition.

Reduced Skin Support

Collagen and elastin naturally decline with age, reducing the skin’s ability to remain firm and supported.

Sun Damage

Repeated UV exposure can weaken the skin’s structure and contribute to a gradual loss of elasticity.

Weight and Volume Changes

Weight fluctuations, pregnancy and changes in facial volume may leave the skin appearing looser or less defined.

Common signs include a softer jawline, heaviness around the lower face, loose skin on the neck, drooping around the cheeks or a crepey skin texture. Laxity may also become noticeable around the abdomen, arms and thighs.
