Skin Laxity & Texture in Aurora

A decline in skin firmness and elasticity leads to sagging, general laxity, and an uneven skin tone often described as "crepey." Aging decreases collagen and elastin production, and hyaluronic acid levels fall, leading to drier, less plump skin. UV radiation accelerates aging, breaking down collagen and elastin.

This loss of collagen, elastin and supporting structures causes skin laxity (loosening or sagging) in areas like the face, neck and body. It's a natural change, and it's understandable if it affects how you feel about your reflection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes skin laxity?

Skin laxity results from decreased collagen and elastin production as we age. UV damage, smoking, genetics, and hormonal changes accelerate this process, leading to sagging and crepey skin.

What treatments can help sagging skin?

Ultherapy uses micro-focused ultrasound to tighten skin at deeper layers. Microneedling with Procell stimulates collagen, and ClearLift laser offers non-ablative tightening. Many plans combine approaches, and results vary.

Can skin laxity be treated without surgery?

Yes. Non-surgical options include Ultherapy, microneedling with Procell and laser treatments. Our physician-led team recommends what suits your degree of laxity, and results vary.

How long do results last?

Results vary by treatment and by person. Ultherapy results develop over two to three months and may last a year or longer for some people, while collagen-building treatments like microneedling improve gradually over a series. Maintenance sessions help you hold on to your results.
