Treatment Options
Skin laxity is best corrected using procedures that lift and tighten the skin of the face and neck.
- Facelift – The most powerful way to address excess skin and ptosis of tissues of the face which lead to jowling and prominence of the nasolabial folds, marionette lines and jowling.
- Necklift – Designed to tighten the neck skin, soften the vertical platysmal bands, and restore a sharp neck and jawline.
- Fat Transfer – although loss of elasticity is a major component of skin laxity, volume loss of the face is another big contributor and should be addressed for the most natural results
- Radiofrequency Skin Tightening – Reserved for very specific cases, this may provide a small degree of tightening of the skin
- Laser Resurfacing – although not a skin tightening treatment, this may be combined with face and neck lifting to improve the texture of the skin and minimize fine lines and wrinkles.
