Skin Laxity – What Causes It and How Can We Treat It?

Our bodies produce plenty of collagen and elastin when we are young. That’s why young skin looks firm and our features are more pronounced.

Our bodies produce plenty of collagen and elastin when we are young. That’s why young skin looks firm and plump and our features are more pronounced.

Both collagen and elastin production begin to diminish as we get older. This causes the skin to lose its firmness and elasticity. You might find you develop loose skin around your neck or bags under your eyes. 

If you lose weight when you’re older you can also end up with loose skin around your jowls. This is because the lack of collagen and elastin mean your skin doesn’t ping back into place.

It’s not all bad news though, because there are treatments available that will tighten and firm up your skin leaving it looking younger and fresher.

Radio Frequency

Radio Frequency treatment is carried out by applying a cosmetic gel to your face and then using a warm wand which is passed over your face. The wand gradually heats up to around 40ºC. This temperature stimulates the skin to increase the production of collagen and at the same time tightens up the elastin fibres and promotes a reduction in fat cells.  

You’re recommended to have at least 6 sessions at 1 or 2 a week and then a maintenance session every 4 to 6 weeks. The procedure is painless, and you’ll notice an improvement in the firmness of your skin as the collagen gets to work. 

Collagen Lift Treatments

Collagen Lift treatment is similar to the Radio Frequency procedure. Your skin is treated by delivering energy waves from a hand-held device deep into your skin. It too reduces fat cells, tightens up the elastin fibres and encourages collagen growth. You’ll notice the difference after just one session. Once you’ve finished a set of treatments the results last up to two years, so it’s a long-lasting, non-invasive treatment that gives you fast results.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
