Skip to content Skin Laxity/Texture
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 results in skin laxity—loosening or sagging—affecting areas like the face, neck, and body. Untreated laxity contributes to an aged appearance and impacts confidence.
We have a variety of treatments for skin laxity you might be interested in:
Several factors contribute to skin laxity, including:
Various treatments are available to address skin laxity. Options include:
Focuses ultrasound energy to lift and firm deeper layers of skin. This treatment is ideal for mild to moderate laxity and provides gradual improvement.
Adds volume to areas of laxity for a more lifted appearance. Common areas include the cheeks, under-eyes, and jawline.
Creates micro-injuries in the skin to encourage natural collagen remodeling. This treatment is often paired with serums to enhance results.
Uses light energy to heat the skin, boosting collagen production and tightening loose areas. It is particularly effective for facial and neck laxity.
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.

Yes, treatments offered at professional clinics like Thrive! MedAesthetics + Wellness are safe and performed by trained professionals. Each procedure is customized to your skin type and condition for optimal results.
The number of sessions depends on the severity of the laxity and the chosen treatment method. Many patients require 3-6 sessions for noticeable improvement, though some may see results after just one 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.
