Skin Laxity - Center for Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery Center for Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery

What Causes Skin Laxity?

Skin laxity results from a combination of natural aging and exposure to sunlight. Natural aging results in a gradual loss of collagen production, which weakens the skin’s connective tissue framework. This process is made worse by ultraviolet rays from regular sun exposure, which cause damage to the skin’s DNA. Skin laxity in certain areas, such as the arms and thighs, can also be caused by significant weight fluctuations.

How to Treat Skin Laxity

Loose or wrinkled skin can be successfully treated with laser and light-based treatments or surgery. Laser and light-based treatments tighten the skin by triggering collagen remodeling and contraction. Surgery is usually necessary in cases of severe skin laxity, especially on the body. At The Center for Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, we offer the following treatments for skin laxity:

Arm lift
Thigh lift
CO₂ laser resurfacing
Intense pulsed light (IPL)
BroadBand Light (BBL)
