Skin Laxity (Sagging)

Skin laxity refers to the loss of firmness and elasticity that occurs with aging due to the gradual decline and degradation of collagen and elastin in the skin. It commonly affects the face, eyelids, neck, arms, and body and may be exacerbated by sun damage, weight fluctuations, and genetics. Treatment options range from less invasive options such as topical skin care and injectable dermal fillers to more invasive skin tightening procedures such as ellacor or cosmetic surgery. The best treatment plan is based on personal goals, medical history and anatomy of each individual.
