What causes skin laxity and what can we do to treat it?
The loss of collagen is a natural part of ageing in which everyone must go through. The loss of such component causes a change in skin structure resulting in the loss of laxity and skin firmness. Skin laxity is affected by a number of factors such as life style choices, our health and genetics however there are a number of treatments we can offer to counteract the signs of ageing.
The Lumenis laser is a fractional skin rejuvenation solution, enabling your physician to offer you remarkable results for younger, healthier, glowing skin. The laser promotes the production of collagen, improving skin laxity and overall skin structure. As the epidermis regrows, the skin presents a tighter and smoother appearance therefore reducing signs of aging.
This treatment can be used on a number of areas such as the face and abdomen. As this procedure uses laser, it is paramount that you do not expose your skin to UV rays such as sun bathing or the use of sunbeds.
What will happen on the day of treatment?
- Following your consultation and test patch 2 weeks prior to treatment, a medical questionnaire will be filled out which will deem whether you are suitable for treatment.
- A series of pictures will be taken to allow us to compare the outcome of your treatments to ensure we reach your desired result.
- Your skin will then be cleansed and marked out. A white pencil will be used to cover any moles on the skin as we do not want the laser to affect them.
- The procedure will begin and should take no longer than an hour.
- It is important to apply suncream to the area post treatment. As a new layer of skin is exposed, it is important to keep it as healthy as possible

“Skin laxity is often a result of ageing and loss of collagen, however this can also occur from weight fluctuations. Laser skin tightening treatments can help tighten and improve the appearance, providing the ultimate rejuvenation.”
