SKIN LAXITY ON THE BODY

Body confidence is personal. For many, it’s also complicated. Skin laxity (loose or sagging skin) is one of the most common concerns as we age, but it’s often overlooked or brushed aside. Why? Because it’s not just about appearance, it’s about how we feel in our own skin.

Skin laxity doesn’t show up the same way for everyone. It’s influenced by genetics, lifestyle, environment, and habits; and while it’s a natural part of ageing, that doesn’t mean you have to accept it without options.

How Skin Laxity Impacts Daily Life

It’s more than skin deep. IBSA’s research shows that for many, skin laxity isn’t just a cosmetic issue, it’s something that genuinely affects their day-to-day lives. Many feel uncomfortable in their clothes, often switching to looser, more concealing outfits to hide areas they’re self-conscious about.

The most common areas treated for skin laxity are the inner arms, abdomen, knees, inner thighs, buttocks.
