What Is Skin Laxity?
As we get older, the natural structures that keep our skin supple and firm start to break down, leading to loose, sagging skin and wrinkles. These effects can be worsened by declining collagen production, UV damage from sun exposure, and behaviors like smoking. While skin laxity is a natural development for most people as they age, that doesn't mean you have to live with droopy, tired skin for the rest of your life. At Aesthetic Med Studio, we're excited to offer a variety of rejuvenating treatments to firm up loose skin and revitalize your complexion. Don't put up with sagging skin — schedule an appointment with our team to learn more about skin tightening treatments at our Springfield, MO practice.
How Do You Treat Sagging Skin?
We offer several effective, noninvasive treatments for sagging skin at Aesthetic Med Studio, including:
- PDO threads: Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are gently inserted under the skin using fine needles. The threads provide immediate lift to sagging skin and continue to support your skin's health over time as they dissolve and release collagen and elastin for lasting rejuvenation.
- Exilis Elite: Exilis uses mono-polar radiofrequency (RF) and ultrasound energies to warm the skin. The thermal energy "injures" the deeper layers, promoting healing and regrowth with little to no discomfort to the client.
- INTRAcel™: An advanced form of microneedling, INTRAcel uses very fine needles and RF energy to open tiny channels in the skin, spurring growth as your body heals. INTRAcel is also great for treating wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, and enlarged pores for any type of skin.
- SkinTyte® II: The Sciton® SkinTyte II system uses pulses of infrared light to gently heat the underlying layers of skin to promote collagen growth, resulting in firmer skin in the treated areas.
What Causes Sagging Skin?
Age is one of the biggest contributors to skin laxity, but there are many other factors that can play a role, including:
- Significant weight loss
- Pregnancy and childbirth
- Certain medical conditions
- Prolonged sun exposure
- Diet
- Smoking
- Overconsumption of alcohol
- Genetics
While diet and exercise can help alleviate sagging skin in certain areas, treatments are often needed to provide additional firmness.
Aesthetic Med Studio Reviews
So professional and courteous in a convenient & beautiful space!
I had a hydrafacial with Irina. It was the most wonderful experience. She is so kind and so professional and the results are stellar. The next day I had lunch with a friend and she said my skin looked so great she was going to book a treatment herself.
Always a good experience with Karlene ans has been for 20 plus years!
The best of the best! Aesthetic Med has everything you need for skin care and your med spa needs in southwest Missouri. I see Erina for a hydrafacial or oxygeneo facial monthly and she is the sweetest human on top of being an incredible esthetician. Karlene is a gem, so knowledgeable and skilled when it comes to injections. From their receptionists to their estheticians to their management and owner and injectors, the people are amazing and will serve you with nothing but a top tier experience!
