Skin Laxity and Sun Damaged Skin

The treatments for skin laxity and sun-damaged skin vary depending on the severity and specific concerns of the individual.

Here are some common treatment options:

Topical creams and lotions

Various topical products containing ingredients such as retinoids, antioxidants, peptides, and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) can improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin and enhance collagen production. These products may help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin texture.

Chemical peels

Chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution to the skin, which causes exfoliation and stimulates the growth of new skin cells. This treatment can help improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin by reducing hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and uneven texture.

Laser resurfacing

Laser treatments, such as fractional laser resurfacing, can target and remove damaged skin layers. This stimulates collagen production and helps improve skin laxity, wrinkles, and texture. Laser treatments may require multiple sessions for optimal results.

Microneedling

This procedure involves creating tiny punctures in the skin using a device with fine needles. It stimulates collagen production and enhances skin rejuvenation. Microneedling with or without PRP (platelet-rich plasma) can improve skin laxity, texture, and reduce the appearance of sun damage.

Injectable Hyaluronic Acid (HA)

AKA Biomodulator. It is an innovative treatment for skin remodelling. It is an injectable procedure that revitalises and rejuvenates the skin, providing ideal conditions to prevent and reverse the signs of aging. By promoting collagen and elastin production, essential for skin firmness, structure, and moisture, the Biomodulator helps improve skin tone, hydration, and reduce fine lines. It achieves this through a controlled release of hyaluronic acid (HA), leading to visible improvements in the skin's overall appearance.

Radio frequency skin tightening

These non-invasive procedures utilise energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. Radiofrequency skin tightening treatments can improve skin laxity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Surgical procedures

In more severe cases of skin laxity, surgical options like facelifts, neck lifts, or brow lifts may be considered. These procedures involve removing excess skin and tightening the underlying tissues to appear youthful.
