Skin concern
Skin Laxity
That sense of skin becoming looser or less 'held', especially along the jaw, is laxity, and early intervention is measured, not drastic.
Laxity is the gradual loss of the collagen-and-elastin scaffolding that keeps skin firm. It shows first as softening along the jawline, heaviness around the mouth, and skin that takes longer to spring back.
Consultation routes often discussed include Profhilo, polynucleotides, skin boosters and collagen-stimulating treatments such as microneedling. Significant laxity has surgical answers that injectables cannot replicate, and if that is the honest assessment, we will say so rather than overtreat.
Possible pathways
Treatments often discussed for skin laxity
Suitability is always assessed at consultation, these are starting points for a conversation, not recommendations.
Skin Boosters & Regenerative
Profhilo
A widely used injectable skin remodelling treatment that spreads beneath the skin to support hydration, elasticity and firmness, typically over two sessions.
Skin Boosters & Regenerative
Polynucleotides
A regenerative injectable therapy that supports the skin's own repair processes, often discussed for the under-eye area, skin quality and early ageing.
Consultation-led care
Start with a conversation about your skin
Every treatment journey begins with an unhurried consultation, an honest assessment of your skin, your options and what is realistic for you. There is never any obligation to proceed.
