Skin Laxity, Fine Lines, & Wrinkles
Overview
Collagen depletion is a major contributor to visible signs of ageing, including skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores. Collagen is an essential structural protein found in the dermis that gives skin its strength, firmness, and elasticity.
From around age 25 to 30, collagen production naturally begins to decline, and early signs of ageing—such as fine lines and larger pores—start to appear. Environmental factors like sun exposure, pollution, and lifestyle habits can accelerate this process.
By age 40, the body’s ability to produce collagen has significantly reduced, leading to a noticeable loss of skin volume and elasticity. This weakening of the skin’s support structure results in sagging and deeper wrinkles caused by gravity and ongoing facial movement.
In recent years, weight loss medications such as Ozempic® and Mounjaro® have become increasingly popular for their ability to support safe and effective weight reduction. However, while dramatic weight loss can be transformative for health and wellbeing, many patients notice an unwanted side effect: skin laxity.
When the skin loses its natural elasticity after rapid weight loss, it may appear loose, sagging, or depleted. This is due to the reduction of underlying fat combined with the natural decline in collagen and elastin production as we age.
Affects of Skin Laxity, Fine Lines, & Wrinkles
As fine lines and wrinkles deepen over time, more intensive treatments may be required for noticeable results. Early intervention is key—not only to reduce their appearance but also to help prevent further progression.
We recommend booking in for our Comprehensive facial VISIA Skin Analysis consultation using the VISIA Skin Scanner to get a detailed picture of your skin’s condition.
This allows us to tailor a bespoke combination treatment plan that targets your concerns effectively and includes ongoing skincare to help maintain long-term results.
