Flaccid Skin – More Than Just a Sign of Aging

Loss of skin firmness — or skin flaccidity — is not simply a cosmetic issue. It’s a sign that the skin’s deeper layers are experiencing biological stress. This includes reduced collagen and elastin production, hyaluronic acid depletion, hormonal imbalance, and weakening of underlying muscle and fascia.

Often appearing first in the lower face and jawline, skin laxity can progress to affect the neck, eyelids, upper arms, abdomen, thighs, and more. At Eternal Vitality, we treat flaccid skin as a multidimensional concern, combining regenerative therapy, hormonal diagnostics, and skin remodeling technologies to restore firmness at the cellular level.

Area(s)

  • Jawline, cheeks, and lower face
  • Neck and décolleté
  • Eyelids and periorbital zone
  • Abdomen, thighs, buttocks
  • Upper arms and knees

Duration

Each session lasts between 60–90 minutes, depending on the technology used (e.g., RF, laser, microneedling, injectables).

Frequency

  • Initial therapy: 3–6 sessions spaced every 2–4 weeks
  • Maintenance: every 3–6 months depending on skin type and age
  • Hormonal & diagnostic reviews: every 6–12 months

What to Expect

How it Works

Our approach focuses on biological regeneration:

  • Stimulating fibroblasts to restore collagen and elastin
  • Rehydrating skin and restoring dermal thickness via hyaluronic acid and peptides
  • Strengthening fascia and SMAS layer support
  • Regulating hormones involved in tissue repair (estrogen, GH, DHEA, cortisol)
  • Addressing oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and nutritional deficiencies

How We Do It

  1. Non-Surgical Lifting Technologies
    • Radiofrequency for dermal tightening
    • Dermapen 4™ microneedling + regenerative serums
    • Fotona Er:YAG & SmoothLiftin™ intraoral laser
    • Stimulates natural collagen remodeling and recontours the face/body
  2. Bioregenerative Injectables
    • PRP & Exosomes for cellular activation and matrix repair
    • Collagen biostimulators (PLLA, CaHA) for long-term structure rebuild
    • Peptide complexes & HA for density and hydration
  3. Hormonal & Functional Diagnostics
    • Hormonal screening (estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, GH, DHEA)
    • DUTCH test, telomere length, metabolomics
    • Support with BHRT, peptide therapy, adrenal protocols
  4. Medical Skincare & Longevity Protocols
    • Topicals with retinal, niacinamide, postbiotics, peptides
    • Postbiotic masks and TCA/mandelic acid peels
    • LED therapy for circadian repair and skin resilience

Side Effects

  • Mild redness or swelling post-treatment (1–3 days)
  • Sensitivity or dryness (especially with laser/peel therapies)
  • Rare: bruising or flaking in sensitive areas
  • Hormonal protocols may require periodic adjustment

Time to Full Effect

  • Visible improvement: within 2–4 weeks
  • Structural remodeling: over 8–12 weeks
  • Long-term firmness and collagen boost: best seen over 3–6 months

Questions? We’ve got answers.

Is flaccid skin only a cosmetic issue?

No. Skin laxity can signal internal imbalances — including hormonal shifts, chronic inflammation, or oxidative stress. We view it as a systemic issue, not just a surface-level concern.

Can I reverse sagging without surgery?

Yes. We offer non-invasive lifting (radiofrequency, lasers, microneedling) combined with regenerative therapies (exosomes, PRP, biostimulators) and hormonal support — often with lasting results.

When does skin start losing firmness?

Collagen starts declining around age 25. Many notice laxity between ages 30–45, especially after stress, childbirth, or weight loss. Early support can slow or prevent visible sagging.

Do I need hormonal testing for skin laxity?

If your skin feels thinner, looser, or more fragile despite good care — and you’re experiencing fatigue, mood swings, or menstrual changes — hormonal diagnostics can uncover hidden causes.

Are results long-lasting?

Yes — especially when treatments are paired with proper homecare, hormonal balance, and lifestyle strategies. Most patients maintain results for 6–12 months or more, with touch-ups.
