As time goes on, it’s common to feel the laxity in your skin start to increase. The decline in skin firmness is natural and due to many factors including age, sun exposure and a reduction in collagen production. If your skin is starting to feel less firm and you are looking into the best skin tightening treatments in Australia, you are not alone. Here’s everything you need to know.

Common Causes of Skin Laxity

Skin laxity will affect everyone at some stage or another, and there are a variety of factors that have an impact.

• Environmental factors including exposure to the sun and pollutants.
• Lifestyle factors including smoking, diet and if you have had significant weight loss.
• Biological factors including your age, your genetics and your hormones.

Skin Tightening Treatment Options in Australia

When skin laxity strikes, it’s natural to look for skin tightening treatment options to restore strength and elasticity of the skin.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options

Many individuals are looking for treatment options to restore a youthful glow without going under the knife. These methods are often a cheap, safe and effective way to achieve results, with minimal downtime. Common treatment options include:

Radiofrequency (RF) Therapy

This treatment delivers heat to the skin’s deeper layers to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. It’s effective at reducing fine lines and mild sagging.

Laser Skin Tightening

Laser skin tightening uses light energy to trigger collagen production. It can target specific problem areas for personalised results, helping to reduce skin laxity.

Microneedling

With the option of combining microneedling with RF therapy, skin rejuvenation is enhanced. It targets the deeper skin layers to stimulate the production of collagen and reduce wrinkles and sagging.

Surgical Treatment Options

Those who are open to surgical treatment for skin tightening can often enjoy faster and longer lasting results. These methods do require downtime and can be more costly than non-surgical options, but tackle multiple concerns in one session. Common treatment options include:

Face Lifts

The most popular surgical treatment option for skin tightening is a face lift. It addresses a range of concerns including sagging skin, deep wrinkles and jowls by tightening the skin and restoring volume. Techniques such as Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS) also target deeper muscles layers for smoother and longer lasting results.

Neck Lifts

The neck is often an area that falls victim to wrinkles and sagging earlier, even if the face remains youthful looking. A neck lift works to tighten the muscles and remove excess skin, with incisions hidden behind the ears for minimal scarring.

Eyelid Surgery

Over time, the eyelid region becomes smaller and wrinkles begin to show. Eyelid surgery will redistribute fat in the region to tighten the area and reduce the signs of ageing. Surgery can combine the upper and lower eyelids, personalising your treatment in accordance with your needs.
