Skin laxity, or loose skin, is a common sign of aging, often caused by collagen breakdown, sun damage, and other factors. It typically affects areas like the cheeks, jawline, neck, and abdomen. If you’re frustrated by sagging skin, The Derm Project offers treatments to help, including:
- Dermal fillers to restore volume and smoothness
- Microneedling to stimulate collagen production and tighten skin
- Sofwave® which uses ultrasound energy to tighten the skin
- BBL® HEROic™ to achieve the appearance of younger-looking skin
These treatments can help you achieve a firmer, more youthful appearance.

What causes skin laxity?
Skin laxity occurs when the skin loses its firmness and elasticity over time. This natural process is primarily caused by a reduction in collagen and elastin production, which are key proteins that keep the skin tight and resilient. As we age, our body’s ability to produce these proteins slows down, leading to sagging skin.
Sun exposure, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices like smoking can further accelerate this process. Hormonal changes, particularly during menopause, also contribute to skin laxity, especially in areas like the face, neck, and abdomen.
How can The Derm Project help me?
At The Derm Project, we offer a range of non-surgical treatments to help tighten loose skin and restore a firmer, more youthful appearance.
- Dermal fillers work by restoring volume and stimulating collagen production, helping to lift and smooth areas of the face and body affected by skin laxity. This non-invasive treatment can plump up sagging skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Microneedling uses tiny, controlled needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, promoting the body’s natural healing process and stimulating collagen and elastin production.
- Sofwave® uses ultrasound energy to tighten the skin and reduce laxity.
- BBL® HEROic™ is a non-invasive skin treatment that delivers uniform, targeted, and BroadBand Light to provide a rejuvenated appearance anywhere on the body.
Together, these treatments work to tighten and rejuvenate the skin, giving you a firmer, more youthful appearance.
