SKIN LAXITY TREATMENT GEELONG
Firm and tighten skin to reduce laxity for a youthful, lifted appearance
Skin laxity develops with age as collagen and elastin, the primary structural proteins responsible for skin firmness, elasticity, and shape retention, degrade. This breakdown leads to a loss of skin firmness, resulting in sagging, dullness, and a crepey texture.
Effective treatment targets the deeper dermal layers to stimulate collagen production, enhance blood circulation, and promote firmer, plumper, and more youthful skin.
Treatments for Skin Laxity
Ultraformer MPT
Ultraformer MPT is a non-invasive treatment that uses microfocused ultrasound to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate skin by stimulating collagen production.
Skin Needling
Skin needling, or microneedling, stimulates collagen production by creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin, improving texture, tone, and overall appearance.
Chemical Skin Peels
Chemical peels resurface and regenerate the skin by removing the top layer, unveiling a smoother, healthier, and more radiant complexion beneath.

What our Clients are Saying
The most common cause of skin laxity is the natural ageing process, though there are also a number of other environmental factors and lifestyle choices that can contribute to a sagging and dull visage.
- Sun Exposure
- Stress
- Weight Fluctuations
- Smoking
- Genetics
This treatment provides an immediate tightening effect by contracting the collagen fibers that support your skin. More importantly, it stimulates the long-term production of new, stronger collagen, helping to lift and tighten sagging skin, plump and smooth wrinkles, all without any downtime.
The Ultraformer MPT is the latest upgrade in the Ultraformer device series. It uses advanced Micro and Macro Ultrasound energy to rejuvenate three key layers of your skin's structure. The new Ultraformer MPT also features the Deep Synergy Booster, which delivers deep hydration, anti-aging benefits, and skin-healing properties directly to your skin cells.
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) transducers emit concentrated ultrasound waves into multiple skin and body layers, targeting specific areas without contacting or damaging the surface. By transferring controlled temperatures of 65-75°C into these zones, the Ultraformer stimulates a process called neocollagenesis.
Collagen renewal in the face through HIFU works by heating the dermal and superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) layers. This triggers separate phases of blood coagulation, tissue contraction, and the formation of firmer collagen, effectively reducing the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin.
SkinPen Skin Needling uses a medical-grade, FDA-approved device equipped with fine needles that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin.
These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin—two essential proteins responsible for maintaining skin structure and elasticity. As a result, the skin undergoes a rejuvenation process, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
What sets SkinPen apart is its versatility and minimal downtime. The treatment is customizable to address specific skin concerns, and with minimal discomfort, it can be used on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, and décolletage. Following the procedure, most people experience only slight redness, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically fades within a few hours to a couple of days.
With a series of treatments, SkinPen can achieve long-lasting improvements in skin quality, providing a non-invasive solution for those seeking smoother, younger-looking skin with minimal recovery time.
A chemical peel works by exfoliating and removing the outer layers of skin, revealing a refreshed and rejuvenated complexion. These treatments accelerate cell turnover and promote cell renewal.
Chemical peels range from mild superficial treatments to deeper formulations, varying in skin tissue penetration, ingredient concentrations, and the specific types of active ingredients used.
Your clinician will advise you on whether you need a superficial, medium or deeply penetrating peel depending on your unique skin condition. The level of peel will determine the length of downtime you require and your final result.
Injectable treatments can effectively reduce the appearance of skin laxity, with visible results typically emerging within 7 to 14 days. However, it is essential to recognise that the skin, as the body’s largest organ, undergoes a natural decline in collagen and elastin production over time. Additionally, various lifestyle and environmental factors contribute to the aging process.
To optimise and sustain treatment outcomes, maintaining overall skin health through the use of cosmeceutical-grade skin care and advanced skin treatments is highly recommended.
Apply Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen Daily – Ultraviolet (UV) radiation accelerates skin aging by degrading collagen and elastin fibers, leading to premature wrinkles. We recommend wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily - rain, hail or shine!
Implement a Comprehensive Skincare Regimen – A consistent skincare routine supports skin barrier function and hydration. If you are unsure where to start, seek professional advice from our team of dermal clinicians.
Incorporate Retinoids and Antioxidants – Topical Vitamin A (retinol) enhances cellular turnover and stimulates collagen synthesis, while antioxidants such as Vitamin C neutralise free radicals and mitigate oxidative stress, both of which contribute to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
Avoid Tobacco and Excessive Alcohol Consumption – Smoking accelerates skin aging by impairing collagen production and reducing oxygen supply to skin cells. Excessive alcohol intake depletes hydration levels, leading to skin laxity and increased wrinkle formation.
Maintain a Nutrient-Rich Diet – A diet high in antioxidants, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids supports skin health. Incorporate foods such as leafy greens, berries, nuts, and fatty fish, which provide essential nutrients for collagen synthesis and skin elasticity.
Prioritise Sleep Quality – Inadequate sleep disrupts the skin's natural repair process and elevates cortisol levels, which can accelerate collagen breakdown. Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep per night to support skin regeneration.
Manage Stress Effectively – Chronic stress increases cortisol production, which contributes to collagen degradation and premature aging. Implement stress-reduction techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, and relaxation therapies to maintain optimal skin health.
