Skin & Surgery International - Skin Laxity Treatment in Pune

As we age, skin loses firmness and appears loose due to reduced collagen, elastin, and fatty tissue. This leads to sagging in areas like the face, neck, arms, thighs, and abdomen. Skin laxity is most noticeable on the neck and face but can also occur after procedures like liposuction or breast reduction.

These days there are several non-surgical treatments to enhance skin laxity. One can really get confused by them, even several physicians don’t know them all and there are a lot of debates on their relative efficiency. Besides the efficiency, one also needs to consider the potential side effects as well, length of downtime, cost, etc. They all are expensive treatments and there have been several cases of dissatisfaction after having paid out a huge sum of money without getting the desired results as promised by the physicians.

Non-ablative treatments tighten skin by delivering heat to the deep dermis, causing controlled collagen damage and subsequent repair. These methods, including light and electric current treatments, offer low downtime but often fall short of optimal results. Ablative treatments, like CO2 or erbium lasers, are the gold standard for skin resurfacing and tightening, but they come with extended downtime and risk of marks, especially on Asian skin.
