Skin Laxity Treatment in Oakville

What is skin laxity?

Skin laxity means skin that has become loose or has started to sag. Collagen and elastin give the deeper layer of the skin its structure and keep it strong and flexible.

As we age, the outer layer of the skin thins and the supporting tissue loses its elasticity. This shows most on skin that has had a lot of sun.

Common causes

• Aging: skin loses elasticity and the fat layer under the skin becomes thinner.
• Sun exposure: the single biggest factor in skin aging. UVA rays damage collagen and elastin.
• Weight loss: skin that was stretched may not be able to shrink back to the new shape.

Good to know

• Best for mild to moderate laxity. Non-surgical tightening works best on early signs of sagging. Severe excess skin may need a surgical option.
• Results build gradually over several months, and more than one session is often needed.
• Good candidates have a stable, healthy weight, don't smoke, drink little alcohol and protect their skin from the sun.
• Every day: use sunscreen all year, wear protective clothing and moisturize.
