Non-surgical Options for Skin Laxity: What Works After 35

More and more women across the US are exploring gentle, non-invasive options for facial/neck lifting and wrinkle reduction. Why? They offer subtle and natural-looking results, minimal downtime, and no needles or puncturing of the skin.

In this post, we’ll walk you through the causes of skin laxity and the common non-surgical treatments out there. We’ll also introduce our latest technology - SOFWAVE™ for revitalized, healthier, and more radiant skin. Let’s delve in!

As you age, your skin loses its elasticity, leading to laxity and wrinkles. Understanding this leaves you informed and prepared to take on the proper treatment to improve your aesthetic feel as early as possible. Let’s provide a more comprehensive overview of the causes.

There’s something entirely out of our control, but it plays a vital role in aging - genetics. Yes, your DNA influences how much collagen and elastin your body naturally produces. These two proteins are the major players in keeping the skin intact and bouncy.  

Another cause of lax skin and wrinkles is rapid weight loss with Ozempic medication (semaglutide). Initially formulated to manage type 2 diabetics, but it’s now widely popular for its drastic weight loss effect. While it feels incredible to shed pounds, it comes with a few unpredictable changes to your appearance, especially when the weight loss is swift.

Here are a couple of the most aesthetic side effects of Ozempic to watch out for: 

Sun damage is a primary culprit in lax skin. Ultraviolet rays are collagen and elastin’s worst enemy, and prolonged exposure breaks down the proteins.

Thus goes the saying - you are what you eat, (drink and how you live!), and it’s so true. What you put into your body can impact your appearance and skin vitality. Let’s list a few lifestyle practices that can lead to aesthetic changes.

Ever wish that your skin remained younger and healthier? You are not alone. There are ways to support your skin without surgery. Let’s discuss holistic, non-surgical therapies that work for women over 35 who want to tackle skin laxity mildly and effectively.

For improved skin quality, especially around the upper arm, ultrasound beams might just be your new best friend. These devices use high-frequency, high-intensity, and parallel ultrasound beams to gently stimulate the upper layers of the skin. A study from the National Library of Medicine found that this therapy can noticeably improve the skin’s appearance.

Sometimes, it's best to go for what you want! Procedures like radiofrequency are a more dramatic, non-invasive wrinkle reduction therapy. How? It gently heats deep into your skin layers, energizes your body’s production of new cells (regeneration), and stimulates elastin and collagen production.    If you’re concerned about its safety (totally fair), a long-term study published in JCAD (Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology) addressed treatments from 2010-2021, confirming that RF and micro-focused ultrasound therapy are safe and effective, especially for skin of color.

When using topical skin care products, look for ingredients like retinol and retinoids. They are known to boost collagen production and smooth out the early signs of aging. Pair them with Vitamin C and Coenzyme Q10 to improve your skin elasticity and give it that healthy texture.  

Furthermore, your skin needs water. Products with hyaluronic acid (HA) are amazing because they keep your body in shape and help it stay plump and hydrated.

Sometimes, your body may need more than serums and skincare products. Injectables like deoxycholic acid, hyaluronic acid (HA), and calcium hydroxylapatite are all designed to keep it smooth and shiny.

If you feel okay with this route, the key is to find a trained healthcare provider to ascertain its safety and natural-looking results.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) supplies us with specific hormones that our bodies are deficient in. It introduces these hormones to our bodies gradually so that those hormone levels increase and achieve balance over time. As HRT balances our hormonal levels, we typically notice improvements in our skin appearance, such as more youthful skin, improved skin elasticity, and increased skin firmness. It’s great to be able to roll back the clock, right?

YES! Sofwave is ideal for users seeking pleasant and non-invasive wrinkle reduction therapy.
