Facial Ageing & Skin Laxity
Loss of firmness, volume and definition happens gradually, and differently for every face.
The concern
You may notice that your face looks more tired than you feel, that your jawline has softened, or that skin which was once firm now feels looser or crepey. Often the change is hard to pin down - only that the face looks less defined than it did.
What patients often describe
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loss of firmness
- Jawline and jowls
- Volume loss
- Neck laxity
- Sun-related ageing
Understanding
Facial ageing is not a single change. Collagen and elastin decline, fat compartments shift and thin, bone support gradually recedes, and the skin itself alters with sun exposure and time. How these combine is individual, which is why two people of the same age can need entirely different approaches.
How we assess it
We look at the whole face before any single feature: skin thickness and quality, where laxity sits and how much there is, volume distribution, muscle activity and facial proportions. We also discuss how you would like to look, your timeline, and what you are and are not comfortable with.
Your treatment approach
The aim is refinement, not change. Most plans combine treatments that work at different depths, from the quality of the skin to the support beneath it, sequenced over time rather than delivered at once. Just as important is knowing when not to treat, and when a lighter intervention will look more natural.
Possible treatments and technologies
Facial ageing has several causes, and they combine differently in every face. Our assessment determines which changes are contributing most before any treatment is selected.

Technology that may be used
Selected by your doctor after assessment. It supports the plan; it is never the starting point.
Results and expectations
Improvement is gradual and natural. Most patients see the change develop over several months, and the aim is a rested, refreshed face that is still recognisably yours.
