If you’ve noticed your skin feels looser than it used to, especially along your jawline, cheeks, or neck, you’re seeing one of the most common signs of aging we address at Infinity Wellness. Loose skin develops gradually as your body produces less collagen and elastin, and it’s one of the concerns our Brunswick, Ohio patients ask about most often.
At Infinity Wellness, we take a personalized approach to this concern, considering your skin’s elasticity, the areas most affected, and how your goals fit with the technology available at our Brunswick, Ohio practice. Treatment is designed around your anatomy, not a one-size-fits-all package.
Skin gets its firmness from a dense network of collagen and elastin fibers sitting just beneath the surface. As you age, your body produces less of both, and the fibers that remain become looser and less organized. This is why skin that once bounced back after being pinched or stretched starts to sit looser against the face and neck.
According to a study published in the American Journal of Pathology, skin loses about 1 percent of its collagen every year starting in the mid-to-late twenties, and that steady decline compounds over decades. Add in factors like sun exposure, genetics, and lifestyle, and the timeline for visible laxity can vary significantly from person to person.
Not every area of the face and body loses structure at the same rate, which is why an individualized assessment matters more than a generic solution.
The jawline and cheeks are among the first areas to show reduced firmness, since the skin here is exposed and expressive. Patients often notice this first in photos taken from the side or in bright, direct light.
The neck has thinner skin and less underlying fat than the face, so it often shows looseness earlier and more visibly, sometimes independent of how the rest of the face is aging.
Skin on the arms, abdomen, and thighs can also lose firmness, particularly after significant weight loss. This is a common reason patients pursuing medical weight loss ask about skin tightening as a next step.
Skin that has had significant cumulative sun exposure, particularly on the face, neck, and chest, often loses elasticity earlier and more noticeably than skin that has been consistently protected.
Patients who have lost a significant amount of weight, whether through lifestyle changes or medical weight loss programs, often develop excess, loose skin in areas where fat previously provided volume and structure.
Loose skin often appears alongside volume loss, since both changes stem from the same underlying decline in collagen and facial fat. A comprehensive evaluation helps separate what’s driven by laxity versus what’s driven by lost volume.
At Infinity Wellness, treatment for sagging skin begins with an evaluation of your skin’s elasticity, the areas of greatest concern, and your overall goals. Your provider will determine whether skin tightening alone is sufficient or whether a combination approach will serve you better.
Luxora skin tightening is our primary treatment for loose, lax skin on the face, neck, and body. Using Morpheus8 and QuantumRF radiofrequency technology, Luxora stimulates your skin’s own collagen production, gradually firming the treated area without surgery or significant downtime.
For patients who have lost volume alongside firmness, dermal fillers can restore fullness in the cheeks and midface, working alongside skin tightening for a more complete, balanced result. You can browse our full range of services to see how these treatments fit alongside our wellness programs.
For most patients, non-surgical skin tightening with Luxora is the best starting point, since it targets the underlying collagen loss rather than just the surface.
Collagen remodeling takes time, and most patients notice gradual firming over several weeks to a few months as new collagen forms.
Most patients describe a warming sensation during treatment with minimal to no downtime afterward.
Yes. Many patients combine Luxora with dermal fillers to address both laxity and volume loss at the same time.
Most treatment plans involve a series of sessions, with the exact number depending on severity and your goals.
Rapid or significant weight loss can reveal or worsen loose skin, which is one reason our team coordinates weight loss and aesthetic care together.
If sagging skin has started to bother you in photos or in the mirror, a consultation can help identify what’s driving the change and which treatment approach fits your goals. Schedule a consultation with Infinity Wellness to discuss your skin and explore your options. We are here to help you feel confident in your skin again.
