Healthy skin depends on a supportive extracellular matrix composed primarily of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. These structural components are produced by fibroblasts within the dermis and work together with the underlying fat pads, connective tissues, and facial retaining ligaments to maintain skin strength, elasticity, hydration, and youthful contours.
Loose or sagging skin develops as collagen and elastin production slows, hyaluronic acid levels decline, and supportive tissues gradually weaken. The skin becomes thinner, less resilient, and less able to resist gravity, resulting in laxity and reduced definition. At LaVida Medspa, we create personalized treatment plans based on your anatomy, skin quality, degree of laxity, goals, timeline, and budget. Our treatments help stimulate collagen remodeling, strengthen dermal support, improve skin firmness, and restore more youthful facial contours over time.
Common signs of skin laxity include:
Whether you’re noticing early laxity or more visible jowls and loss of facial definition, the right combination of treatments can rebuild the support your skin has lost. At LaVida Medspa, we take the time to evaluate your anatomy, skin quality, and degree of laxity, then build a personalized plan around your goals, timeline, and budget. Schedule a consultation at our Chandler or Mesa location to learn which loose/sagging skin treatments are right for you.
