Skin Laxity & Skin Tightening in Canberra
When your jawline softens or your neck starts to feel crepey, it can catch you by surprise. Your skin can still feel firm, supported and cared for.
It often shows up in photos first: a jawline that looks less defined, a little softness at the jowls, fine creases on the neck or skin on the chest and hands that feels thinner. Losing firmness is a natural part of how skin changes over time, and many people simply want their skin to look as fresh and lifted as they feel.
At Skin Wellness Academy, we offer non-surgical, collagen-focused treatments that help your skin look firmer and smoother, chosen carefully for your skin and lifestyle.
Why skin loses firmness
Collagen and elastin are the proteins that keep skin firm and springy. Over time, the body makes less of them, and sun exposure, smoking, stress, weight changes and genetics can all speed up their breakdown. The result can be laxity around the jawline, jowls and neck, crepey skin, and fine lines that look more noticeable. See also Ageing.
How we help
Your Skin Strategy Session helps us understand your skin, your goals and how much downtime suits you, and whether non-surgical treatment is right for you.
Within our Skin Transformation System, we Rebuild skin health and hydration (hydration is key before RF), Regenerate with treatments that stimulate your own collagen and elastin, and Maintain your results with home care and SPF. Collagen renewal takes time, so changes develop gradually over a course of treatments.
