Cosmetic Concerns

Skin Laxity

Skin laxity or skin that feels looser or less firm than it used to, is a natural part of the aging process. It’s usually caused by a gradual breakdown of collagen and elastin, two key proteins that give our skin structure and bounce. Over time, you might notice sagging in areas like the cheeks, jawline, neck, or around the eyes. Our Skin Laxity Treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your skin’s current condition and how you’re feeling about it. From there, we design a personalised treatment plan that could include at-home skincare, collagen-stimulating treatments like skin needling or radiofrequency, and optional more advanced cosmetic treatments. The aim isn’t to drastically change your appearance, it’s about helping your skin age well, maintain its strength and structure, and repair skin health.

How Does It Work?

The process starts with a professional skin consultation where we assess your skin’s elasticity, firmness, and any underlying causes contributing to the laxity, like weight loss, sun damage, or hormonal changes.

Depending on your skin’s needs, your personalised plan may include cosmeceutical grade skincare with ingredients like retinol, peptides, and growth factors to improve skin structure.
Skin needling or radiofrequency treatments to stimulate collagen and elastin production,
LED light therapy to support skin regeneration and healing, advanced cosmetic treatments to gradually restore volume and improve firmness.

 

These treatments help your skin to rebuild its own support system, so results are long lasting and continue to improve over time.

Who Is It For?

Skin laxity treatments are ideal for anyone noticing sagging, softening, or loss of firmness in areas like the jawline, cheeks, neck, or around the eyes. This often starts in your late 30s and becomes more noticeable through your 40s and beyond.

You might be a good candidate if you’ve noticed, heaviness or creasing in the lower face, looser skin around the eyes or brows, loss of jawline or neck definition, skin that feels thinner or less bouncy.

We treat all skin types and tones and every plan is tailored to your comfort level, from gentle skin-firming routines to advanced skin-tightening treatments. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or dealing with specific skin conditions, we’ll guide you to effective alternatives.

What to Expect

Your appointment begins with a detailed consultation, where we take the time to understand your skin goals, assess areas of concern and explain the treatment options available. There’s no pressure, just honest, professional advice to help you feel informed and confident in your choices.

For non-invasive treatments like skin needling, ultraformer or radiofrequency, sessions typically take around 45 minutes to 1 hour. You may feel warmth or slight discomfort during the treatment, but most clients find it quite manageable. There’s usually minimal downtime, with some redness or tightness that settles within a day or two.

If you choose to incorporate cosmetic treatments, those will be carried out by our qualified medical practitioners and come with personalised aftercare support.

After your treatment, we’ll provide guidance on maintaining your results with home skincare and any follow up appointments.

FAQs

1. What causes skin laxity?
Skin laxity is mostly caused by a natural decline in collagen and elastin, which starts as early as your late 20s. Other factors like sun exposure, smoking, stress, and weight loss can speed up the process. Hormonal changes, especially during menopause, also play a big role in skin becoming thinner or looser over time.

2. Can skincare really help tighten skin?
Yes, to a degree. Cosmeceutical grade skincare with active ingredients like retinol, peptides, and antioxidants can support your skin’s ability to firm up, especially when paired with in-clinic treatments. Think of it like strengthening the skin from the outside in and keeping your results on track long term.

3, What’s the best treatment for skin tightening?
Everyone’s skin is unique, therefore treatments are individualised. For some, skin needling or radiofrequency provides great results. Others may benefit from cosmetic treatments that rebuild collagen more deeply over time. We’ll recommend what’s best for your skin type, lifestyle, and goals during your consultation.

4. Is skin tightening painful?
Most treatments are well-tolerated. You might feel some heat, pressure, or tingling depending on the method used. We always explain what to expect beforehand, and can use numbing cream or adjust settings to keep things comfortable. Your comfort is our priority.

5. How many treatments will I need?
This depends on the treatment and your skin’s starting point. For collagen-stimulating therapies like skin needling or radiofrequency, we usually recommend 3 to 6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart. We’ll map out a plan that fits your goals and lifestyle.
