About skin laxity

Skin laxity is skin that has lost firmness or begun to sag. It often shows first along the jawline, which softens and loses definition, and as mild sagging along the cheeks or neck.

The treatments used for it all deliver radiofrequency energy beneath the surface. Forma is noninvasive: it warms the skin’s deeper layers to stimulate collagen, and patients often compare it to a warm facial massage. Morpheus8 adds microneedling, carrying radiofrequency energy beneath the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin on the face and body. FaceTite treats the jowls, jawline, cheeks and neck with radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis, tightening skin and reducing localized fat beneath the surface without surgical incisions.

Which of these suits you — often more than one, sequenced over time — is confirmed with Dr. Marcelin at your consultation.

How we approach it

01

Tell us what you notice

Start with what you see in the mirror, not a treatment name — that’s what this page is for.

02

We confirm it in consultation

Dr. Marcelin evaluates your anatomy and skin to confirm what’s actually driving the concern.

You get a plan, not a menu

Often one concern is addressed by a combination of treatments, sequenced over time.
