Skin laxity is influenced by a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. As our skin loses collagen, elastin and hydration, it becomes less firm and less resilient to stressors. This leads to sagging, fine lines and changes in facial contours. While this process is natural and inevitable, there are treatments to reduce skin laxity by supporting your skin’s innate structure and function.

A Note From Dr Aleks
Throughout my career, I've been fascinated by the science of skin ageing. I see skin laxity not as something to 'fix', but as a natural process we can manage thoughtfully. My goal is not to try to make you look 20 years younger, which so often leads to unnatural results, but to help you look beautifully yourself at any age.
During your consultation, we'll discuss how your skin is changing, what bothers you most, and which treatments might help you achieve the improvements you’re looking for. Together, we'll create a treatment plan that respects your skin's unique needs and your personal aesthetic goals.

Understanding Skin Laxity
Skin laxity develops as the underlying support structures within the skin weaken over time. These changes occur at multiple levels:
Surface Layer (Epidermis)
- Decreased cell turnover
- Reduced hydration and moisture retention
- Thinning of the protective barrier
Middle Layer (Dermis)
- Breakdown of collagen and elastin networks
- Reduced production of new structural proteins
- Decreased blood flow and nutrient delivery
Deep Layer (Hypodermis)
- Loss of fat volume in key areas
- Shifts in tissue support and distribution
- Changes in underlying muscle tone
