At a glance
It’s commonly noticed with ageing but can also be influenced by genetics, sun exposure, lifestyle, and changes in weight. Patients often describe their skin as feeling “looser,” “less supported,” or showing early signs of sagging.
At Levant Cosmetic Surgery, we offer non-surgical procedures that may help stimulate collagen, improve skin tone, and support a firmer appearance over time — without surgery or extended downtime.
What Causes Skin to Lose Firmness?
Skin laxity can result from multiple factors including natural ageing, UV exposure, weight fluctuations, loss of elastin, and reduced hydration — all of which affect skin structure and firmness.
- Natural ageing and decreased collagen production
- UV damage and oxidative stress
- Weight fluctuations
- Reduced hydration or poor skin barrier function
- Decline in elastin and structural proteins
Skin laxity is often most noticeable along the lower cheeks, jawline, and neck, but can also affect areas such as the décolletage or arms.
Non-Surgical Treatments for Skin Laxity
Mono PDO Threads
Mono threads are absorbable sutures that are placed beneath the skin to stimulate a gradual collagen-building response. While not designed for lifting, they may support firmness and elasticity over time in areas experiencing mild laxity.
PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP helps rejuvenate the skin using your body’s own growth factors. This therapy may promote collagen synthesis and improve skin tone in patients with early to moderate laxity.
Exomide
Exomide is a topical treatment that uses exosome-rich formulas to support the skin’s repair and renewal systems. It is often used to complement other therapies and may help improve radiance, hydration, and tone.
What to Expect from Treatment
Non-surgical treatments for skin laxity often require a series of sessions to promote progressive changes in skin firmness. Your practitioner will:
- Assess the area(s) of concern
- Recommend treatment combinations if appropriate
- Outline expected timelines for visible improvement
Most treatments involve minimal downtime and allow you to return to your usual activities shortly after.
Maintaining Skin Firmness
In addition to in-clinic care, long-term skin support may involve:
- Consistent sun protection
- Medical-grade skincare for hydration and barrier health
- Healthy nutrition and hydration
- Avoiding smoking and other environmental stressors
