What Is It And Why Does It Occur?

Skin laxity refers to the gradual loosening of the skin as collagen, elastin, and supportive tissues decline with age. Over time, this loss of structural integrity causes the skin to appear thinner and less resilient, leading to visible sagging along the jawline, cheeks, neck, and body.
Contributing factors include aging, sun exposure, genetics, and lifestyle influences such as weight fluctuations and environmental damage. As the skin’s scaffolding weakens, the once-taut contours of youth become softer and less defined.

What Patients Typically Notice

Patients often describe feeling that their face or neck looks “heavier,” “tired,” or “less lifted” than before. They may notice jowls forming along the jawline, loose skin under the chin, or a drooping appearance around the eyes or mouth. Skin crepiness in other areas of the body such as inner arms, chest or knees are often a concern. Some describe feeling like their reflection no longer conveys their energy or confidence, even though they feel vibrant inside.
