Types of Skin Laxity
Facial Laxity
As time passes, facial laxity becomes apparent, contributing to sagging skin around the cheeks, jawline (referred to as jowl), and the neck (often called "turkey neck").
Body Laxity
Another common occurrence where skin elasticity diminishes, resulting in sagging across areas like the abdomen, arms, thighs, and buttocks.
Postpartum Laxity
Emerges in some women following pregnancy, characterized by abdominal laxity due to skin stretching during gestation, often leading to the development of stretch marks.
Weight Loss-Related Laxity
Rapid weight reduction can cause skin to become loose, particularly if it fails to return to its original size after significant weight loss.
Sun-Induced Laxity
Prolonged exposure to the sun's UV rays can harm collagen and elastin fibers, inducing skin laxity, presenting as crepey skin.
