Skin Laxity

Skin laxity first appears as a lack of firmness of the skin, followed by the appearance of more pronounced facial folds, as a result of loss of firmness and elasticity in the skin. Skin laxity is a natural consequence of aging primarily attributed to decreased collagen and elastin production. If you're concerned about skin laxity, trust your skin to the experts at DERM Lab in North Vancouver.

What Contributes to Skin Laxity?

By about your early 30s, your fibroblasts, the cells in your skin responsible for collagen production, have significantly slowed down. As collagen and elastin production slows and stops, and existing collagen and elastin accumulate damage from ultraviolet and other environmental factors, skin laxity develops. Various factors, including genetic predisposition, sun exposure, and lifestyle decisions, can speed the onset of skin laxity. These influences exacerbate the aging process, contributing to noticeable signs of aging.

Taking control over skin laxity commonly means non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures designed to enhance collagen production, tighten the skin, and rejuvenate its youthful vitality. “Prejuvenation” or “collagen banking” are terms coined for treating preventatively before skin laxity sets in, to prevent and delay its onset.
