Skin laxity happens when the skin loses collagen and elastin and the deeper support of the face changes with age. It can also appear after significant weight loss. Common signs include a softer jawline, sagging cheeks and loose skin on the neck.
Non-surgical treatments work by stimulating new collagen and tightening the skin over time. The right option depends on how much laxity there is and which areas are affected, so a careful assessment comes first.
When to See a Dermatologist
- You are noticing changes along the jawline or neck
- Your skin has loosened after weight loss
- You want to explore non-surgical lifting options

Frequently Asked Questions
Some tightening may be visible early, but most results develop gradually over a few months as new collagen forms.
Non-surgical treatments can give a natural improvement in mild to moderate laxity. They do not replace surgery for more advanced sagging, and your dermatologist will advise honestly on what to expect.
