Skin Laxity

This is a very common concern for both men & women which affects a number of areas, such as the face, neck, chest and many areas on the body. As skin ages, it begins to decline in different types of collagen and elastin fibres lose their strength and elasticity.

These changes alone mean that skin becomes thinner, less resilient, and crepiness develops, resulting in skin which becomes fragile in appearance and feel. The skin’s natural moisture levels decline, and the outer layers become weaker and lose their natural ability to hold onto moisture, which adds to concerns about dryness and a weak skin barrier. Hormonal changes which women undergo around the menopausal stages can further exacerbate these changes due to profound hormonal changes and decline in collagen reserves. A number of extrinsic factors may influence and exacerbate the onset of skin laxity, such as photoageing (chronic UV damage from sun exposure, smoking and environmental pollutants). Laxity may be more of a concern during the colder months through winter, when skin typically feels dryer. At Anna Baker Skin Clinic, there are a number of safe and effective treatments & products which can effectively treat signs of skin laxity on the face and body, such as:
