Skin Laxity (body)

Skin Laxity: Understanding and Treatment Options

Skin laxity is a natural phenomenon that occurs over time. It is often exacerbated by factors such as aging, significant weight loss, pregnancy, or hormonal changes. This laxity manifests as sagging skin, commonly visible on the thighs, abdomen, arms, or buttocks.

Why does skin laxity occur?

As we age, the skin loses elasticity and firmness due to a decrease in collagen and elastin production. Rapid stretching of the skin, such as during weight gain or pregnancy, can also cause laxity. This condition can make the skin thinner and less resistant to the effects of gravity.

What are the most common areas affected by skin laxity?

-Abdomen: Particularly common after pregnancy or significant weight loss.

-Thighs and buttocks: Areas where the skin can become looser, especially with aging or weight fluctuations.

-Arms: Often affected by a loss of firmness and volume.

-Face and periocular area: Loss of firmness, especially around the cheeks and under the chin.

Recommended Treatments

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP is a regenerative treatment that stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin, helping to progressively firm the skin and improve its volume. PRP works by enhancing the density and quality of skin tissues, providing a natural and lasting result. It is primarily used to address laxity in the facial area.

Skinbooster

Micro-injections of lightweight hyaluronic acid increase skin hydration and suppleness while making the skin tissues denser and more resistant to signs of aging.

Morpheus8 Burst

This treatment uses advanced fractional radiofrequency to penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Morpheus8 Burst is particularly effective for treating skin laxity on areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and buttocks, while improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of irregularities. Thanks to its ability to treat large areas in a targeted and uniform manner, Morpheus8 helps restore firmness and tone to the skin across the entire body.
