How to Improve Skin Laxity
Best Treatments for treating Skin Laxity: Treatment Guide
Skin laxity, the natural loosening or sagging of the skin, is a common concern as we age. Factors like collagen depletion, loss of elastin, sun exposure, and environmental damage contribute to the skin losing its youthful firmness. If you’re seeking a solution to restore skin tightness and a more youthful appearance, you’re in the right place!
At The India Gabrielle Clinic, we offer a wide range of advanced treatments designed to tackle skin laxity. Whether you're dealing with the early signs of sagging or more advanced skin laxity, our expertly tailored treatments can help rejuvenate your skin. In this guide, we’ll cover some of the most effective treatments available, including Lynton Focus Dual Radiofrequency Microneedling, Lynton Focus Dual High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), Microneedling, Polynucleotides, and Profhilo Structura.
Lynton Focus Dual Radiofrequency Microneedling
Lynton Focus Dual Radiofrequency Microneedling combines two powerful skin rejuvenation technologies: microneedling and radio-frequency (RF) energy.
The treatment uses tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries kickstart the body’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin firmness.
While the microneedles create channels in the skin, the radiofrequency energy is delivered into the deeper layers, where it heats the skin tissue. This heat stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, helping to tighten the skin from within.
How it treats skin laxity:
The combination of microneedling and radiofrequency in the Lynton Focus Dual treatment promotes a significant tightening effect. This non-invasive treatment targets both the upper and deeper layers of the skin, improving both the texture and tone, while restoring firmness and elasticity.
Benefits:
Lifts, firms and tightens skin
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Stimulates collagen, elastin and fibroblast production
Minimises the appearance of pores
Reduces scarring and stretch marks
Improves overall skin tone and texture
Number of Sessions:
Typically, a course of 3 sessions is recommended for optimal results, spaced about 6 weeks apart. This allows the skin to fully benefit from the collagen-boosting effects of each session. Some individuals may benefit from further treatment.
Periodic maintenance treatment is recommended every 6 to 12 months, depending on skin concerns.
Lynton Focus Dual High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)
Lynton Focus Dual HIFU is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound waves to target the deeper layers of the skin. The ultrasound energy stimulates collagen production by creating thermal energy deep beneath the skin’s surface.
This treatment is widely regarded as a non-surgical facelift, as it can lift and tighten the skin without the need for incisions.
HIFU can lift and tighten the skin by stimulating the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, which results in a firmer, more toned appearance. This treatment is ideal for lifting areas of the face, such as the jowls, chin, and neck, where skin laxity tends to become more prominent.
How It Improves Skin Laxity:
High-frequency ultrasound waves are precisely focused on deep layers of the skin, including the dermis and subcutaneous tissues including the SMAS layer - which is the same layer addressed during a surgical face lift. The energy creates a thermal effect that stimulates collagen and elastin production, which naturally tightens the skin over time.
Benefits:
Targets deeper layers of skin for lifting and tightening
Stimulates long-term collagen regeneration
Reaches the SMAS layer - the same layer address in surgical face lift procedures
Non-surgical face & neck lifting
Number of Sessions:
1-3 sessions are typically enough for noticeable results, with effects improving over the following 2 to 3 months.
For maintenance, a follow-up session may be needed every 12 to 18 months.
Microneedling: Dermapen Collagen Induction Therapy
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-punctures stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, which leads to the production of collagen and elastin—the two proteins responsible for skin’s strength, elasticity, and overall appearance.
One of the most effective tools used for microneedling is the Dermapen. This advanced device is designed to deliver precise and controlled microneedles into the skin at varying depths, enhancing the treatment’s effectiveness for skin rejuvenation, texture improvement, and tightening.
How It Improves Skin Laxity:
Microneedling is particularly effective at improving skin laxity by promoting collagen remodeling. The new collagen formed helps restore skin structure, smoothness, and firmness, leading to a tighter appearance over time.
Benefits:
Lifts, firms and tightens skin
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Stimulates collagen, elastin and fibroblast production
Minimises the appearance of pores
Reduces scarring and stretch marks
Improves overall skin tone and texture
Number of Sessions:
Typically, a course of 6 sessions is recommended for optimal results, spaced about 6 weeks apart. This allows the skin to fully benefit from the collagen-boosting effects of each session. Some individuals may benefit from further treatment.
Periodic maintenance treatment is recommended every 6 months to keep the skin looking youthful and firm.
Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are naturally occurring molecules composed of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. When injected into the skin, polynucleotides help promote cellular regeneration, stimulate collagen production, and enhance skin hydration. These injections are a highly effective treatment for skin laxity, especially when used to restore firmness, elasticity, and youthful vitality to the skin.
Unlike Fillers or Botox, Polynucleotide Injections work at a cellular level to heal and regenerate skin tissue, promoting long-term rejuvenation by targeting the skin’s underlying structure.
How They Improve Skin Laxity:
Polynucleotides work by promoting skin cell regeneration and repairing damaged tissue. By injecting these compounds into areas with skin laxity, you can encourage the production of collagen, which helps tighten and firm the skin over time.
Benefits:
Stimulates collagen and elastin production
Restores skin’s elasticity
Improves hydration and overall skin health
Reduces sagging and fine lines
Number of Sessions:
3 to 4 sessions are typically recommended, spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart, to achieve the best results.
Maintenance treatments may be required every 6 to 12 months to maintain the rejuvenated appearance.
Profhilo Structura
Profhilo Structura is an injectable treatment that uses a high concentration of hyaluronic acid to rejuvenate the skin while also targeting deeper facial structures to restore a youthful appearance.
As we age, fat compartments in the face shift, causing volume loss, sagging, and hollow cheeks. Profhilo Structura addresses these changes by lifting and restoring volume in the cheek areas while enhancing skin elasticity and firmness through deep hydration and stimulation of collagen and elastin production. Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume, Profhilo Structura works by regenerating fat tissue with a unique lipolifting effect, restoring volume and firmness from within.
How It Improves Skin Laxity:
Profhilo Structura works by injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin to restore volume and hydration. The treatment also stimulates collagen production, helping to firm the skin and reduce the appearance of sagging.
Benefits:
Deeply hydrates and rejuvenates skin
Improves skin texture, elasticity, and firmness
Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Fast results with minimal downtime
Number of Sessions:
2 sessions are required, spaced 4 weeks apart.
Maintenance treatments are usually required every 6 to 12 months to sustain results.
