Understanding Facial Changes
Supporting Natural Definition and Structure
Facial laxity develops gradually as the skin and underlying support structures change over time. These changes often begin beneath the surface long before they are visible, leading to softening of contours and loss of definition.
At SkinAstute Clinic, our focus is on understanding the underlying causes of facial laxity and restoring balance while maintaining natural expression. A comprehensive in-clinic assessment is essential before treatment planning.
Loss of Collagen & Elastin
As collagen and elastin production decreases, the skin becomes less firm and less resilient. This can affect areas such as the jawline, cheeks, lower face, and neck, contributing to sagging and reduced definition. Supporting collagen production is a key part of improving firmness and structure.
Changes in Facial Volume & Support
Age-related changes in facial fat pads and supporting structures can alter facial proportions. Volume loss or shifting can create shadowing, heaviness, or jowling, particularly in the lower face. Treatment planning focuses on restoring support and balance rather than over-filling.
Skin Quality, Hydration & Texture
Dehydration, thinning skin, and reduced elasticity can exaggerate laxity and make the face appear tired. Improving skin quality and hydration can significantly enhance overall facial appearance, even where laxity is mild.
Targeted treatments to restore firmness, definition and skin confidence.
Our skin laxity treatments are designed to support collagen production, improve firmness, and enhance skin structure with clinically tailored care that respects your natural facial features.
Fat Dissolving
Fat dissolving treatments target small, localised pockets of fat that can affect facial contours, such as under the chin or along the jawline. They are commonly used to refine facial shape and improve definition where excess fat contributes to heaviness, following careful assessment.
Radio Frequency
Radio frequency gently heats the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. It is commonly used to support gradual tightening, improve skin texture, and enhance firmness in areas of mild to moderate laxity following assessment.
HiFu
HIFU targets the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and support lifting and tightening without surgery. It is commonly used to improve firmness and definition in areas affected by facial laxity following assessment.
Antiwrinkle Injection
Anti-wrinkle injections help relax targeted facial muscles that contribute to dynamic lines and downward pull over time. They are commonly used to support facial balance and complement other treatments for facial laxity by softening expression-related tension, following assessment.
Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides support skin repair, hydration, and resilience in ageing or fragile skin. They are commonly used to improve skin quality and support gradual firming where laxity is accompanied by thinning or reduced elasticity, following assessment.
Skin Boosters
Skin boosters improve hydration and overall skin quality, which can enhance the appearance of firmness and elasticity. They are commonly used to support skin texture and radiance alongside other treatments for facial laxity, following assessment.
