SKIN LAXITY
What is Skin Laxity?
Skin laxity occurs through a lack of natural elasticity and loss of tissue volume under the skin meaning that the skin is less well supported and loses its firmness. Both of these processes lead to sagging, which in the face causes a tired appearance and emphasises the jowl area, the neck, eyelids and eye bags in particular. This is normally due to a combination of factors, including sun damage, collagen breakdown, the effects of gravity, and the effects of age. This can also be exacerbated with weight loss, if an amount of fat has also been lost.
