SKIN LAXITY
What is Skin Laxity?
Skin laxity refers to the loss of firmness, elasticity, and tightness in the skin. As the skin ages, it loses its structural integrity due to the decrease in collagen and elastin production. This reduction results in the skin becoming saggy, droopy, and displaying an aged, toneless appearance. The natural aging process, environmental factors, and sun exposure, which breaks down elastin fibers, all contribute to skin laxity. Over time, this loss of elasticity and structure can lead to the skin’s inability to return to its original position after being stretched, resulting in sagging and drooping skin.
Individuals might seek skin tightening services for a variety of reasons:
Appearance of Youthful Skin:
Skin tightening treatments offer a means to make the skin look tighter and more youthful. This can be achieved either by actual shrinkage and lift of the skin or by creating an appearance of tighter skin.
Counteract Environmental and Biological Factors:
Due to factors like gravity, pollution exposure, daily stress, and frequent facial muscle movements, skin can start to look stretched or saggy.
Aging Concerns:
As people age, the skin naturally sags, especially around the face. Loose skin can become associated with signs of age and fatigue. Thus, skin tightening can help counteract these natural aging effects and revitalize one's appearance.
In essence, individuals often seek skin tightening treatments to refresh their appearance, combat signs of aging, and address concerns related to saggy or stretched skin. At RejuvenateMD we offer the following treatments to combat skin laxity:
