Skin Laxity

When we look at others, we use several factors to make a guess at their ages based on many factors. Skin laxity is one of the earliest signs of aging, but it can also be one of the most noticeable. Fortunately, your team of experts at physician-owned JK MedSpa can choose from a wide range of treatment options to restore a more lifted, firmer look.

Learn More About Skin Laxity

Your skin is primarily made up of two proteins that form a matrix to give it strength and flexibility. These proteins, collagen and elastin, are produced at high levels in young skin, but their production often declines with age. Skin laxity occurs when the levels of these proteins in the skin decrease, allowing your skin to look looser, less resilient, and even start to sag.

Many factors contribute to the decrease in collagen production that takes place over time. This decrease is a natural consequence of your skin’s aging, but several factors can speed it up. Sun damage is the biggest preventable culprit in skin laxity. Not only does UV light damage collagen, but the broken collagen fibers inhibit the skin’s ability to replace them.

Other factors, especially alcohol and smoking, can play a role. Nutrition with healthy anti-oxidants and otherwise protective compounds may slow down collagen loss, as will a skincare routine with collagen-promoting ingredients.

Loose skin affects each of us in different ways, so we offer a range of treatment options so we can choose the best one to meet your needs.

RF Microneedling

If collagen loss is the primary cause of skin laxity, it makes sense to address it with RF microneedling, sometimes known as “collagen induction therapy.” This treatment uses needles to create tiny microchannels that trigger a dramatic increase in collagen formation. 

The channels created by RF microneedling like Morpheus8 and Secret RF microneedling, create the ideal opportunity to apply PRP to the skin to enhance your treatment results. 

FaceTite and AccuTite

These minimally invasive treatment options allow your provider to give you dramatic skin-tightening results with little to no downtime. They can be used almost anywhere on the face, even in tiny areas, to provide you with a tighter, more contoured appearance using skin-safe radiofrequency energy. 

BodyTite

Like its relatives for the face, this treatment uses radiofrequency energy delivered by small needles under the skin. This energy causes your existing collagen fibers to tighten for quick results. It also triggers new collagen development to produce even more tightening and lift over the next few months. In addition, we are able to treat the fat layer to melt the fat, giving you a more contoured appearance.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers such as Juvederm® are used to restore volume to areas where it has been lost. This injectable treatment corrects wrinkles by lifting and smoothing the skin. It can also plump up wrinkles from beneath to erase their appearance. These injectable treatments are popular due to their lack of downtime and immediate results. 

Medical Facials

Our range of medical facials, including dermaplaning, Hydrafacial®, and Obagi Skintrinsiq, rejuvenate and brighten your skin while addressing textural issues. With regular use, these treatments offer firmer, healthier-looking skin with a hydrated, plump glow. 

Add PRP to any of our medical facials to provide even more intensive rejuvenation and skin-smoothing benefits.
