Treating Skin Concerns: Skin Laxity and SkinBase Collagen Lift

Skin laxity occurs when the skin loses its structural integrity and firmness, causing it to become crepey, droopy and saggy. Typically, the ageing process is the primary cause of skin laxity, as collagen and elastin levels reduce quicker, and the body does not replenish them.

Skin laxity occurs when the skin loses its structural integrity and firmness, causing it to become crepey, droopy and saggy. Typically, the ageing process is the primary cause of skin laxity, as collagen and elastin levels reduce quicker, and the body does not replenish them. Usually, ageing-related drooping begins in the lower face as the jawline becomes less defined and jowls start to sag. Then, the skin laxity may also affect the eyelids, chin and throat. Those who rapidly lose significant amounts of weight, e.g. pregnant women after giving birth, are also more susceptible to skin laxity. This increased risk is because elasticity in the skin does not have time to adapt to the changes. Excess weight can also damage collagen and elastin fibres in your skin; it doesn’t snap back as easy. 

Skin Laxity Causes

Skin laxity caused by ageing can be accelerated by other intrinsic and extrinsic factors that destroy collagen and elastin in the skin, such as: diet, lifestyle and sun exposure. 

Sun Exposure

Sun exposure is thought to be responsible for between 80-90% of visible signs of ageing on your skin. If you don’t already, you must incorporate sunscreen into your daily skincare routine, with an SPF of 30+. Leaving the skin unprotected in the short term can mean a painful sunburn. In the long-term, the sun will prematurely age the skin, causing loss of skin tone and decreased elasticity. 

Lifestyle Factors

Other lifestyle factors, such as smoking and drinking alcohol, can also prematurely age the skin and cause skin laxity. Smoking results in narrowed blood vessels, as nicotine constricts blood flow to the skin. The toxins found in tobacco also reduce collagen and elastin production, making the skin droop and sag. Therefore, giving the skin an aged appearance. Alcohol also accelerates the ageing process by decreasing collagen production within the skin. 

Diet

Diet is key in keeping the skin firm and youthful. When eaten in excess, processed foods high in refined sugars can contribute to the collagen and elastin degradation process. As sugar enters the blood stream, it binds to a protein that damages collagen and elastin, causing sagging, crepey skin. On the other hand, some foods contain collagen-boosting ingredients perfect for everyday consumption. For example, eating citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons boosts levels of vitamin C in the body, which in turn accelerates collagen production. As ageing is inevitable, skin laxity is something everyone will face at some point. The factors above are important considerations to prevent the skin from ageing prematurely. A great way to prevent or treat skin laxity is with a radio frequency treatment, which will rebuild collagen in the skin and increase its production.   Skin Laxity 

 

SkinBase Collagen Lift

SkinBase Collagen Lift is a non-surgical radio frequency treatment that tightens, tones and sculpts skin. It is an ideal choice for those who want to take steps to prevent sagging skin or want to treat their skin laxity. There is no risk associated with Collagen Lift, so you do not have to worry about any downtime or side effects. 

How Does it Work?

The Collagen Lift treatment combats skin laxity by stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. It is a seriously effective method of turning back the clock on the skin. Your SkinBase therapist will use a ceramic wand to heat the deeper layers of the skin in the area of concern. The treatment may be a luxurious facial to treat sagging jowls; or a body treatment to firm up the skin elsewhere. The heat within the skin stimulates the body’s natural healing response, boosting the production of collagen and elastin.   KATHERINE MONIQUE BEAUTY SKIN LAXITY   Results can be seen from the first session as the increased collagen levels tighten and firm the skin. Sagging skin will become firm again, and fine lines and wrinkles will smooth as the skin plumps from within. We recommend a course of treatments, usually six, to achieve your desired results. Find some fabulous Collagen Lift before and after images from the SkinBase Transformation of the Year 2022 Competition here. As well as instant results, collagen production continues to develop within the skin, allowing visible changes up to three months after your last treatment. Best of all, results can last for up to two years.  Download a Collagen Lift Brochure Now.

Rebecca Willshee Nail and Beauty Specialist

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
