What Is Skin Laxity?

Skin laxity is the gradual loss of firmness and elasticity in the skin, commonly leading to a sagging or drooping appearance. It typically occurs in areas like the face, neck, arms, and abdomen. As we age, the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin—key proteins responsible for skin strength and flexibility—begins to decline. Additional factors such as sun exposure, genetics, smoking, and significant weight loss can accelerate this process. While not medically harmful, loose skin can affect your appearance and self-confidence. Fortunately, a range of professional treatments are available to help restore tighter, more youthful-looking skin and support long-term skin health.

Signs & Symptoms of Skin Laxity

Skin laxity can appear differently depending on the area affected and the degree of collagen loss. Typical indicators include:

  • Loose or Sagging Skin: Noticeable drooping around the cheeks, jawline, neck, arms, or abdomen.
  • Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Reduced elasticity makes the skin more prone to creasing and folding.
  • Thinner Skin Texture: The skin may feel more fragile or appear less full, especially on the hands and face.
  • Softened Facial or Body Contours: Diminished firmness can result in less defined features and shape.

Recognizing these changes early allows for more effective intervention with treatments tailored to your skin’s needs.
