Skin Laxity – DIAMED

As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to skin laxity where the skin loses its firmness and structure. This can result in a crepe-like texture, as well as wrinkles and fine lines.

Causes of Skin Laxity:

Aging: Naturally reduces collagen and elastin over time.
Sun Exposure: Accelerates laxity by damaging skin fibers with UV rays.
Weight Loss: Significant weight loss can leave behind excess skin.
Genetics: Some individuals are genetically predisposed to develop loose skin.
Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, poor diet, and stress can contribute to skin aging.

Early intervention with treatments like retinoids, sun protection, and healthy lifestyle choices can help slow the progression of skin laxity. For more severe cases, non-surgical procedures can be effective and may be considered to restore a more youthful appearance.

Treatments

Laser Therapy: Stimulates collagen production by using targeted light energy to penetrate the skin’s surface. This process encourages the skin to regenerate and rebuild, improving texture and firmness over time.
Radiofrequency Treatments: Tighten the skin by applying controlled radiofrequency energy to heat the deep layers of the skin. This heat stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to a more tightened and lifted appearance.
Ultrasound Therapy: Uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin. This non-invasive method promotes collagen production and improves skin firmness by reaching and stimulating the underlying tissues.
