Skin Laxity
Skin laxity is a common aesthetic concern that affects many people as they age or undergo physical changes.
Many seek information on the causes and treatments of this condition. Skin laxity manifests as a loss of firmness and elasticity in the skin, often visible on the face, neck, arms, abdomen, or thighs.
Let’s explore the causes of this condition and the available treatments to address it safely. Victoria Park Medispa has extensive experience in treating skin laxity, offering personalized solutions to meet each individual’s specific needs.
Causes of Skin Laxity
The main causes of skin laxity include skin aging, hormonal fluctuations, and UV exposure. With age, the production of collagen and elastin decreases, naturally leading to a loss of firmness and elasticity. Hormonal changes, particularly those related to menopause, can also accelerate this process.
Additionally, certain lifestyle habits such as smoking, an unbalanced diet, and excessive sun exposure can worsen skin laxity.
Genetic predispositions also play an important role, making some people more susceptible to developing this condition.
Furthermore, fat loss and significant weight fluctuations can stretch and weaken protein tissues, contributing to this laxity.
Understanding these causes is crucial for choosing the most appropriate treatments. To do this, a thorough evaluation by health professionals at Victoria Park Medispa allows for the identification of specific factors for each individual and the development of a personalized treatment plan.
Different Affected Body Areas
Skin laxity on the face or neck is often the most concerning, as it is highly visible. However, this condition can also affect the chest, arms, abdomen, thighs, flanks, knees, or buttocks.
It is important to note that each body part presents its own challenges and requires an adapted treatment to achieve optimal results.
For example, facial skin laxity can be treated with non-invasive techniques, while abdominal laxity after significant weight loss may require more complex interventions.

Treatment Options for Skin Laxity
There is a wide variety of treatments offered by Victoria Park Medispa to reduce skin laxity, ranging from non-invasive options to surgical interventions. Medicinal products, in the form of serums, can be applied regularly to tone the skin. It is also possible to perform hyaluronic acid injections to smooth and firm the skin. Additionally, non-invasive treatments such as Morpheus8 use radiofrequency to penetrate deep into the skin and stimulate collagen production. Each session lasts about an hour, with visible results after three to four treatments spaced several weeks apart.
Microneedling DP4, on the other hand, uses fine needles to create micro-perforations, stimulating cell regeneration and collagen production. This treatment generally requires several sessions, with progressive results visible after a few months. The Sculptra treatment, another non-invasive option, involves injections of poly-L-lactic acid to stimulate collagen production over several months. Sessions last approximately 30 minutes, and several may be needed to achieve optimal results.
Emsculpt and Forma are advanced technologies for tightening the skin and improving its texture. Emsculpt uses muscle contractions induced by electromagnetic fields to strengthen muscles and improve skin tone. Each session lasts about 30 minutes, with recommendations for four sessions over a two-week period. Forma uses radiofrequency to heat the skin deeply, stimulating collagen and tightening the skin. Sessions last less than an hour, with visible results after several sessions.
For more severe cases, surgical procedures such as facelifts may be considered, although they require a longer recovery time. Each treatment is personalized according to the individual needs of the patient, taking into account factors such as age, overall health, the area to be treated, and the severity of the condition. Because results vary depending on the chosen treatment, it is essential to discuss expectations with a health professional at Victoria Park Medispa.

Tips Before and After Skin Laxity Treatments
Before starting a skin laxity treatment, it is essential to consult a health professional at Victoria Park Medispa for a thorough evaluation. This step is crucial to discuss medical history, concerns, and expectations. During this consultation, the expert will explain in detail the treatment process, the sensations that may be felt, and the expected results. This allows the patient to prepare and feel confident before starting.
After each session, following post-treatment instructions is essential to maximize results and avoid complications. This may include applying specific creams for each treatment, avoiding sun exposure, and temporary restrictions on certain physical activities. To quickly resolve any potential issues and get answers to all post-treatment questions, it is also important to maintain open communication with health professionals. This ongoing exchange ensures support throughout the journey and makes the patient feel accompanied.
