What is Skin Laxity?
Skin laxity refers to the loosening or sagging of the skin that occurs as we age. This natural process happens when the skin’s collagen and elastin (the proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity) begin to break down. Skin laxity can appear on the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and other areas, and can make features look tired or aged. While everyone experiences some degree of skin laxity over time, genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors such as smoking can accelerate the process.
Though skin laxity is not a medical concern, addressing it early can help tighten the skin, restore a youthful contour, and improve overall skin tone and texture. A consultation with a dermatologist or cosmetic provider can help determine the most effective treatment options based on your skin type, degree of laxity, and personal aesthetic goals.

Skin Laxity Treatment Options
At UnionDerm, we offer a variety of non-surgical treatments designed to tighten the skin, stimulate collagen production, and restore youthful skin firmness. Our providers will customize a treatment plan to address your unique needs.
Sofwave
Sofwave is an innovative ultrasound skin tightening treatment that targets the mid-dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This results in firmer, smoother skin with minimal downtime. Sofwave is particularly effective for improving mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, and décolletage using focused ultrasound energy.
Thermage
Thermage uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, triggering natural collagen remodeling. It can tighten sagging skin, reduce fine lines, and lift contours, making it a versatile option for the face, eyes, and body. Patients typically notice gradual, natural-looking improvements over several months without the need for surgical skin tightening.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy is a non-invasive ultrasound skin tightening therapy that lifts and tightens loose or excess skin on the face, neck, and chest. By delivering targeted energy to the foundational layers of the skin, it encourages collagen regeneration and improves skin elasticity. Results develop gradually and can last up to a year or more.
MIRIA
MIRIA is a cutting-edge microneedling radiofrequency treatment that combines precise collagen stimulation with deep tissue remodeling. This dual-action approach improves skin texture, tightness, and skin firmness for a smoother, more youthful appearance. MIRIA can be customized for different areas of the face and body and is considered one of the more minimally invasive procedures for noticeable improvement.
