Skin Laxity

Skin Laxity
Skin laxity gradually increases with age, causing skin to look loose and crepey. As we get older, our collagen and elastin production decreases resulting in skin appearing more thin and less supple.

Treatments for Skin Laxity

Skin laxity enhances the appearance of ageing. It is caused by the decrease of collagen and elastin production.

Collagen and elastin are vital to keeping the skin supple and flexible and when we lose elastin and collagen, the skin becomes more thin and loose with a crepey effect.

Skin laxity can be remedied with the use of dermal fillers, hyaluronic acid and laser treatments to stimulate more collagen. Dermal fillers and skin boosters restore lost volume to tighten and hydrate the skin to reduce the appearance of sagging skin.

Laser treatments like Youlase, resurface the skin, tightening it, and while causing controlled trauma, encourages collagen stimulation to reduce the effect of ageing.

SYMPTOMS of Skin Laxity

Skin laxity symptoms appear as crepey, loose skin which may lack hydration causing an aging effect and can impede confidence.

"I simply cannot rate this place highly enough. I’d give it 10 stars if I could. All the staff at Body-vie are friendly, welcoming and very knowledgeable. Dr Weber is someone with whom I trust implicitly. I went to another local aesthetics clinic before this one for a consultation and walked out feeling disheartened and very confused, I was made to feel like I needed to spend a lot of cash in order to get the desired result.
