Skip to content Skin Laxity Treatment?
In skin laxity, collagen, elastin, and other supporting structures are lost, resulting in loosening or sagging of the skin. This condition often develops as we age, leading to a less firm and youthful appearance. Skin laxity can affect various body areas, including the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs. Treating skin laxity can improve skin tightness and restore a more toned appearance. Left untreated, skin laxity can contribute to a tired or aged look, impacting overall confidence.
Several factors contribute to skin laxity, including:
Various treatments are available to address skin laxity. Options include:
Delivers heat to the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production. It is a noninvasive option with minimal discomfort.
Creates micro-injuries in the skin to encourage natural collagen remodeling. This treatment is often paired with serums to enhance results.
Adds volume to areas of laxity for a more lifted appearance. Common areas include the cheeks, under-eyes, and jawline.
Uses light energy to heat the skin, boosting collagen production and tightening loose areas. It is particularly effective for facial and neck laxity.
Focuses ultrasound energy to lift and firm deeper layers of skin. This treatment is ideal for mild to moderate laxity and provides gradual improvement.
The cost of skin laxity treatment, varies depending on the type of treatment, the number of sessions needed, and the size of the treatment area. For example, noninvasive procedures like radiofrequency therapy may range from $200 to $500 per session, while more intensive treatments such as laser skin tightening can cost between $500 and $1,500 per session.

Most noninvasive treatments have minimal to no downtime. As soon as the procedure is completed, you can resume your regular activities. Some treatments may cause mild redness or swelling, which usually resolves quickly.
While treatments can significantly improve skin firmness and elasticity, results vary by individual. For severe cases, a combination of treatments or surgical options may be recommended.
There is no specific age, as skin laxity varies by individual. Many people begin treatments in their 30s or 40s as a preventative measure, while others seek solutions later in life when sagging becomes more pronounced.
