Skin Laxity Treatment

Skin laxity can develop across both the face and body as collagen, elastin and hydration within the skin gradually reduce over time.

A consultation is required before any treatment at Good Things Clinic, view our consultation options here.

It may appear as looser, thinner or crepey skin, and can become particularly noticeable around areas such as the neck, décolleté, abdomen, knees and upper arms.

At Good Things Clinic, treatment is personalised according to the area being treated, the degree of laxity and the overall quality of your skin. Your plan may incorporate polynucleotides, Profhilo or Stylage HydroMax, depending on what your skin needs.

Our aim is to support firmer, smoother, better hydrated skin and improved overall skin quality.

Areas We Can Assess

Skin laxity treatment may be considered for areas including:

  • Face
  • Jawline and lower face
  • Neck
  • Décolleté
  • Upper arms
  • Abdomen
  • Skin above and around the knees
  • Other suitable areas of the body following assessment

The treatment used will depend on the area, skin quality and the degree of laxity present.

How Do We Treat Skin Laxity?

Your treatment plan is created following assessment and may involve one treatment or a combination of approaches.

Polynucleotides

Polynucleotides are regenerative injectable treatments used to support cellular repair, collagen production, hydration and overall tissue quality.

They can be particularly useful where skin appears thin, crepey or lacking elasticity, making them a treatment option for selected areas of both the face and body.

Profhilo

Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid based injectable treatment designed to improve hydration, elasticity and overall skin quality.

Rather than adding traditional filler volume, it is used to support hydration and tissue remodelling and may be considered where laxity, crepiness and reduced elasticity are the primary concerns.

Stylage HydroMax

Stylage HydroMax is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment designed to support hydration, elasticity and skin quality.

It may be incorporated into a treatment plan where dehydration, fine lines or reduced elasticity are contributing to the appearance of thin or crepey skin.

Why Are Areas Like the Neck, Abdomen and Knees Commonly Affected?

Some areas of the body naturally have thinner skin or become more susceptible to changes in firmness over time.

Ageing, collagen and elastin loss, sun exposure, weight changes, pregnancy and natural changes in skin structure can all contribute to reduced elasticity.

This can become particularly noticeable around the neck and décolleté, abdomen, upper arms and above the knees, where the skin may begin to appear looser or more crepey.

For these concerns, treatment focuses on improving the quality and condition of the skin itself, rather than simply adding volume.

Investment

Investment is tailored to your individual treatment plan.

As treatment may involve polynucleotides, Profhilo, Stylage HydroMax or a combination of approaches, your investment will depend on the area being treated and the treatment programme recommended following your consultation.

Your full treatment plan and associated costs will always be discussed with you before treatment begins.

Frequently asked questions

Which Treatment Is Right for Me?

You do not need to choose between polynucleotides, Profhilo or Stylage HydroMax before booking.

During your consultation, we will assess the treatment area, skin quality, hydration, elasticity and degree of laxity before recommending the most appropriate treatment or combination.

One patient may benefit primarily from regenerative support with polynucleotides, while another may require a hyaluronic acid based treatment focused more heavily on hydration and elasticity.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Skin laxity treatment is usually progressive and may require a course of treatments rather than a single appointment.

The number of sessions and spacing between treatments will depend on the treatment selected, the area being treated and how your skin responds.

Your progress will be reviewed throughout your treatment journey and your plan adapted where appropriate.

Can you treat loose skin on the body?

Yes. Selected areas of body skin laxity can be assessed for treatment, including the abdomen, upper arms and skin around the knees.

The most appropriate treatment will depend on the area, degree of laxity and overall skin quality.

Can you treat crepey skin above the knees?

Yes. The skin above and around the knees can become thinner and more crepey over time.

Where appropriate, regenerative or skin quality focused treatments may be considered to improve hydration, elasticity and the appearance of the skin.

Can you treat loose skin on the abdomen?

Yes. Abdominal skin laxity can occur following ageing, pregnancy or changes in weight.

Your abdomen will be assessed to determine whether injectable skin quality treatments are appropriate and what degree of improvement can realistically be expected.

Can you treat loose skin on the neck?

Yes. The neck is one of the most common areas we assess for changes in skin quality and laxity.

Depending on your skin, treatment may involve polynucleotides, Profhilo, Stylage HydroMax or a combination of approaches.

Can you treat the décolleté?

Yes. The décolleté can develop changes including crepiness, dehydration, thinning and reduced elasticity.

Your skin will be assessed to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

Will these treatments tighten significantly loose skin?

These treatments are designed primarily to improve skin quality, hydration, elasticity and the appearance of mild to moderate laxity.

They are not a replacement for surgical procedures and cannot remove significant excess skin.

Your consultation will help establish what can realistically be achieved with non surgical treatment.

How will I know which treatment I need?

You do not need to decide before your appointment.

Your consultation will assess the quality, hydration, elasticity and degree of laxity of your skin, allowing us to create a personalised treatment plan based on the area being treated and what is most appropriate for you.
