Facial Skin Laxity

Facial skin laxity refers to loose, sagging skin. Facial skin laxity can be caused by various factors including age, genetics, extreme weight loss, smoking, etc. At Lazaderm, we offer some different skin-tightening treatments that can bring patients lasting and noticeable results.

Causes

Aging is the most common and biggest attributor to facial skin laxity. The level of collagen and elastin, two important proteins that help the skin tighten and stretch, is reduced as we age. Repetitive facial movement or expressions can also lead to skin laxity. Fine lines and wrinkles typically appear in those aged between 30 and 40.

Besides losing its elasticity and firmness, other skin changes can include:

Increased transparency
Development of skin lesions
Fragile or damaged skin
Rough skin texture
Loss of facial volume

Treatment

Various treatment options are available to help tighten facial skin. Depending on your skin type, skin condition and aesthetic goals, the best treatment for you might vary.

Some popular treatments for face and neck laxity include:

Chemical peels
Microdermabrasion
Microneedling
Laser Resurfacing
PDO Thread Lift

Microneedling: Microneedling with radiofrequency uses a tiny needle and heat to reach deeper layers of skin and stimulates collagen production. When the small needles puncture the skin, the healing process kicks in and begins repairing the wound.

Microneedling with radiofrequency has been proven to be effective for tightening the skin.

Chemical Peels: Depending on the condition of your skin, different levels of chemical peels can be applied to your skin. A chemical peel is used to exfoliate the outer layers of skin, resulting in a more youthful, firmer and more elastic facial look.

Microdermabrasion: An aesthetician uses very fine microcrystals to remove the upper layer of the skin and exfoliate dead skin cells. The procedure helps the production of new skin, resulting in a firmer and more youthful look.

PDO Thread Lift: PDO Thread Lift is a great alternative to the traditional surgical facelift. The thread lift brings the sagging skin up and suspends it. PDO thread also encourages the production of collagen and more volume in the treated area.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

The erbium laser skin resurfacing ablates the outermost layer of the skin. The laser targets water in the tissues and promotes further collagen production while tightening the skin. This technique is used to improve deep wrinkles and facial laxity.
