The first signs of skin ageing can be characterised with dullness, fine lines and laxity of the tissues. Skin laxity refers to the loss of skin elasticity and firmness, resulting in sagging or loose skin. This natural ageing process is primarily caused by reduction in collagen and elastin production in the skin. These two elements are the building blocks of the skin, collagen providing the structural support and elastin allowing the skin to stretch and ‘snap’ back. Other factors like sun damage, weight fluctuations, and lifestyle choices all contribute to the overall elasticity of our skin.
At Bedeque Medical Clinic start with a consultation with Dr Siobhán. At this appointment we will take a 360° skin scan and discuss how skincare and in-clinic treatments can play a crucial role in improving skin laxity and restore a more youthful appearance. Through targeted treatments, we can effectively tighten and rejuvenate your skin, helping you achieve a smoother, firmer, and more radiant complexion.
