Skin laxity is a looseness of the skin. It is a completely natural part of the ageing process. As we age, our skin loses its firmness and structure – that's because the building blocks (collagen and elastin) that help to keep skin looking youthful - start to deplete. This results in skin that is looser and saggier in appearance. Skin can also develop a crepe-like texture, as well as wrinkles and fine lines.
The main cause behind skin laxity is the natural ageing process. However, you may fast-track skin laxity if you don’t take good care of your skin. For instance, sun damage can contribute to prematurely-ageing skin. So, too, can:
If skin laxity is getting you down, there are treatment options available to you. If you are experiencing mild skin laxity, you may be happy with simple off-the-shelf products. Look out for skin creams and serums that boast ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C and retinol. These are some of the top three ingredients to help combat signs of skin laxity and ageing. If you want a treatment that will target skin laxity more powerfully, then you may be interested in some of the treatments we offer at Este. Our most popular treatments for skin laxity include:
You’re right, we do offer many treatments that can help with skin laxity. If you’re not sure which one is the right choice for you, the best thing to do is book in for a free no-obligation consultation with us. When we see you in person, we’ll be able to talk through the options and find out which treatment is likely to be your best choice.
To keep on top of ageing skin, you will probably need to have repeat treatments. For instance, if you choose to have dermal fillers - they will wear out over time. Chemical peels will give your skin a boost for a certain amount of time, but again, their effects will fade after a while. Keep up with regular maintenance treatments and you should see an improvement to your skin laxity.
You might find facial yoga exercises helpful in improving your skin laxity. This YouTube video from Fit Tak gives you some quick and easy facial yoga exercises to try. Keeping your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water, and ensuring it is protected from the sun with a high SPF sun cream every day are two other must-do's.
Skin laxity, characterised by loose or sagging skin, is primarily caused by the natural aging process, which leads to a decrease in collagen and elastin production - proteins essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. Additional factors such as sun damage, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, genetics, poor diet, and stress can accelerate this condition.
