Lax Skin
Loss of skin firmness is a natural part of the aging process and one of the most common concerns we treat. As collagen and elastin levels decline over time, the skin can begin to appear looser and less defined, particularly around the face, neck, and body.
At Advanced Skin and Body Solutions in Bellevue, we offer a range of non-surgical, collagen-stimulating treatments designed to improve skin tightness, support structural integrity, and restore a more lifted, firm appearance.
What is Lax Skin?
Skin laxity refers to skin that has lost firmness and elasticity, resulting in a looser, less defined appearance. It most commonly affects areas such as the face, neck, jawline, upper arms, and abdomen, and becomes more noticeable from the mid-thirties onward as natural collagen and elastin production begins to decline.
Collagen and elastin are the key structural proteins that keep skin firm, resilient, and supported. As these levels decrease with age, the skin becomes thinner and less able to maintain its shape. Factors such as sun exposure, significant weight changes, genetics, and lifestyle habits can accelerate this process.
Non-surgical treatments that stimulate collagen production can help improve firmness and definition over time. Results develop gradually and continue to build with treatment, with outcomes varying depending on the individual and the approach used.
