Skin Laxity

Skin Laxity

Skin laxity, or loose skin, is, unfortunately, a normal consequence of aging. As we get older, our skin loses collagen and elastin content, leading to increased laxity in the face and several other regions of the body. While living an active lifestyle can definitely help us retain some control over our health,  it sadly does little in the way of keeping our skin tight. Luckily, addressing loose skin doesn’t always involve complicated treatments. There are a number of tightening options available and Turner Medical Arts is happy to provide you with a selection of them.

Problems With Skin Laxity?

Skin laxity begins to develop after age 30 or following rapid weight loss. As the vital proteins we produce decline in quantity, our skin’s elasticity declines along with them. The resulting facial volume changes combine with the disappearance of fat in our cheeks and make our faces appear more gaunt. While facial skin laxity may start out slow, the presence of loose skin becomes more and more noticeable over time as collagen loss accelerates. This can be terribly detrimental to one’s self-esteem, especially to those that try their best to look their best.

Loose Skin Treatment Options

At Turner Medical Arts, our dedicated staff is proud to provide a wide range of treatment options for dealing with skin laxity. These treatments range from surgical to non-invasive and are all designed to deliver optimal results. When you come in for a consultation, we will discuss the right treatment for your particular needs and skin type.

Our treatments include:

  • Renuvion – This device uses helium and a gentle stream of radiofrequency (RF) energy to create “cold plasma”, which causes significant contraction of the collagen-rich connective tissue beneath the skin.
  • Potenza RF Microneedling – The powerful Potenza RF microneedling system relies on a combination of radiofrequency energy and microneedling to tighten the skin.
  • Morpheus8 – Morpheus8 represents the latest in radiofrequency technology. This device is made to stimulate collagen production and enhance the tightness of your skin while improving texture. 
  • Pontius Technique – The Pontius Technique relies on dermal filler injections to contour and lift the face.
  • BOTOX® Cosmetic – These injections are made to temporarily neutralize muscle movement in targeted areas in the face, preventing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Dermal Fillers – Juvéderm and Restylane injections can improve facial volume fullness, thereby reducing the appearance of skin laxity.
  • SmartXide – The SmartXide DOT® is an advanced CO2 laser system that stimulates collagen growth and promotes skin tightening.
  • Skin Care Products – Our skin care product options include creams, serums, and lotions formulated to improve the appearance of your skin by providing anti-aging benefits.
