Skin Laxity & Loss of Firmness

Skin laxity — sagging skin, loss of definition along the jawline, and decreased firmness — results from collagen and elastin degradation. Professional biostimulation treatments can significantly improve skin firmness and restore facial contours.

What Causes Skin Laxity?

Collagen and elastin fibres provide the scaffolding that keeps skin firm. After age 30, production declines while degradation accelerates. Factors like UV exposure, smoking, rapid weight loss, and hormonal changes accelerate this process. The result is sagging skin, jowl formation, and loss of facial definition.

Professional Treatment Protocol

Biostimulation is key: treatments that stimulate the skin to produce its own collagen and elastin. Polynucleotides (PDRN), exosome therapy, and microneedling with growth factors are the most effective modalities. A combination protocol of monthly treatments for 3-6 months, followed by quarterly maintenance, delivers optimal firming results.
