Collagen-stimulating treatments can gradually strengthen the support beneath aging skin.
Firm, Lifted, Still You
At Gentle Touch MediSpa, we take a personalized approach to skin laxity—combining nonsurgical treatments that can improve firmness, support collagen and create a naturally refreshed, more defined appearance.
Signs of Skin Laxity

- A less defined neck contour
- Crepey or lax skin around the eyes
How It Feels
- Skin feels thinner
- Less snap-back
- Crepey texture
- Jowls forming
- Blurred jawline
What’s Changing Beneath the Surface
Skin laxity isn’t caused by just one thing. As we age, collagen and elastin decline, facial volume shifts and the structures supporting the face change. Sun exposure, genetics and weight changes can also affect how quickly those changes become visible.
That can show up as a softer jawline, early jowling, looser skin through the face and neck or simply less of the firmness and definition you used to see. Understanding what’s contributing to the change matters—because what looks like loose skin isn’t always just loose skin.
Treatment Options for Skin Laxity
PDO threads can provide subtle repositioning for carefully selected clients with mild-to-moderate laxity.
Resurfacing can improve texture, collagen and firmness at the skin level.
When volume loss contributes to a heavier or less-defined appearance, restoring support in strategic areas can sometimes improve facial contours without simply “tightening” the skin.
Radiate Beautiful, Confident Possibility
Our treatment planning tool lets you tell us more about your specific concerns, so our experts can craft your personalized care plan.
Your Treatment Journey
Personalized Consultation
We look at your skin’s thickness, elasticity, and areas of laxity, then talk honestly about what nonsurgical treatments could do for you.
Customized Plan
Your provider builds a plan around what’s actually contributing to the changes you see—whether that means improving skin quality, rebuilding support, restoring volume, creating subtle lift or combining approaches over time.
Treatment Session
Most sessions are 30 to 60 minutes long. Thread lifts come with a short recovery period and mild soreness, while collagen stimulators and resurfacing need little to no downtime.
Aftercare Guidance
We’ll walk you through aftercare, schedule the rest of your series, and plan maintenance so your skin holds its firmness as your collagen production increases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Collagen and elastin give your skin its structure, and both decline steadily with age. Sun exposure, smoking, significant weight changes, and genetics all speed that up. The result is skin that stretches more easily and recovers more slowly.
Most clients find them very manageable. We use numbing where it helps, and sensations range from warmth during laser treatments to brief pressure during thread placement. Any soreness afterward is usually mild and short-lived.
Thread lifts give you an immediate lift that improves as collagen builds around the threads. Collagen stimulators like Sculptra work more gradually, with results developing over 2 to 3 months and continuing from there.
It depends on the treatment and your skin. Thread lift results typically hold for a year or more, and collagen stimulation can last 2 years or longer. Maintenance sessions can help you keep what you’ve built.
Nonsurgical treatments can create beautiful improvement for mild to moderate laxity, but they cannot reproduce the results of surgery. If the degree of skin laxity is beyond what we believe we can meaningfully improve, we’ll tell you. Our goal is to recommend what’s appropriate—not simply what we offer.
