Loose or Lax Skin

Loose skin can occur in the face from the aging process, from weight loss and from hormonal imbalances. Loose skin in the body is most commonly from weight loss but can also be due to hormonal imbalances.

To improve loose skin the best approach is to begin with an evaluation of hormone levels. There are many people that start to experience loose skin in the face or body starting in their 40’s. This is usually due to a decrease in testosterone (in men and women) and estrogen. If you work out and still can not tone the backs of your arms, you may have a testosterone deficiency.

After hormone evaluation, a treatment to improve the tightness of the skin can be done. There are only two ways to tighten skin; cut it and pull it tight or use heat to tighten the collagen.

At Vitality we use procedures that work in harmony with your body and thus Thermage is the treatment of choice to tighten loose skin. Not only will Thermage tighten the skin of the face or body, but it stimulates new collagen growth so there is long lasting prevention.
