    Glossary Skin Laxity

    loss of skin firmness and elasticity, often due to aging

    Skin laxity, also known as loose skin or skin sagging, refers to the loss of skin firmness and elasticity, often due to aging, weight loss, or environmental factors like sun exposure. This condition occurs when the skin's structural proteins, such as collagen and elastin, degrade or diminish, leading to a less taut and more wrinkled appearance.
