Skin naturally loses some of its firmness and smoothness over time, whether from aging, sun exposure, weight change, or a combination of factors, and laxity and texture changes tend to show up together rather than as separate problems. We start with a consultation to understand what you're noticing in your own skin and build a plan that addresses both firmness and surface quality together.
Skin Laxity & Texture
Skin laxity refers to a loss of firmness and elasticity in the skin, often showing up as looseness or sagging, particularly on the face, neck, and body. Texture changes refer to unevenness on the skin's surface, including roughness, enlarged pores, and a duller overall appearance. Both are connected to the same underlying process: as collagen and elastin production slow down over time, skin becomes both less firm and less smooth.
