Skin changes over time. Collagen and elastin production decline with age, while factors such as sun exposure, genetics, weight changes, pregnancy, and hormonal changes can also affect how firm and resilient the skin appears.
The result may be skin that looks thinner, crepey, lax, or simply less firm than it used to.

The amount of laxity matters. Non-surgical treatments have limitations, and significant excess skin may be better addressed surgically. Your provider can help set realistic expectations about what different options may—and may not—accomplish.
