How to Tighten Facial Laxity Without Surgery

Elasticity and firmness are hallmarks of young, healthy skin, but over time, many factors can affect these qualities. Sun damage, environmental exposures, and age-related collagen loss can lead to skin laxity. Fortunately, At Coolspa by Aethos, you have non-surgical options for tightening your skin to restore your facial contours and smooth away wrinkles and sagging.

What Causes Facial Laxity?

Because collagen is the most common and necessary protein in your skin and connective tissues, it plays a huge role in your skin’s tightness. Collagen formation slows down over time, so older skin looks less firm and has more wrinkles. Other factors like sun exposure also play a significant role in how quickly your collagen levels decline.
