At Sage Wellness & Medspa in Plantation, FL, many of our patients come in asking how to get rid of fine lines, sagging skin, or both. But did you know that skin laxity and wrinkles are not the same thing? Understanding the difference is the first step toward choosing the right treatment. Our medspa specializes in advanced skin rejuvenation treatments designed to address both concerns for natural, long-lasting results.
What Is Skin Laxity?
Skin laxity refers to loose, sagging skin that has lost its firmness and elasticity. It’s caused by:
- Declining collagen and elastin production with age
- Significant weight loss (including after GLP-1 programs with Semaglutide or Tirzepatide)
- Sun damage, genetics, or lifestyle factors
Skin laxity most commonly appears in the:
- Jawline and neck (creating “jowls”)
- Upper arms
- Abdomen after weight loss or pregnancy
- Thighs and buttocks
What Are Wrinkles?
Wrinkles are lines, folds, or creases that form as the skin ages. They’re caused by a combination of:
- Repeated facial expressions (dynamic wrinkles)
- Loss of collagen and volume (static wrinkles)
- Sun damage and environmental stressors
- Dehydration and skin thinning
Wrinkles often appear:
- Around the eyes (crow’s feet)
- On the forehead
- Between the eyebrows (frown lines)
- Around the mouth (smile lines, lip lines)
Skin Laxity vs. Wrinkles: The Key Difference
Think of it this way:
- Skin laxity = sagging or drooping due to loose collagen and elastin
- Wrinkles = creases or lines caused by movement, sun, or volume loss
Both can make the face (and body) look older—but they require different treatments. At Sage Wellness, we often combine treatments to address both concerns for the most natural, youthful results.
Treatments for Skin Laxity at Our Plantation Medspa
✨ Matrix Pro Radiofrequency Microneedling
Our go-to treatment for tightening loose skin. Matrix Pro delivers radiofrequency energy through ultra-fine needles, stimulating deep collagen production. Results include firmer skin, better tone, and smoother texture—with minimal downtime.
✨ FRAX 1550 Fractional Laser
A fractional, non-ablative laser that remodels collagen, smooths texture, and improves overall firmness. Safe for many skin types, it’s ideal for post-weight loss skin laxity and fine textural changes.
✨ Sculptra Injections
Sculptra works gradually by stimulating collagen over time. Perfect for restoring volume and subtle lift in areas like the mid-face, cheeks, and temples, where laxity is more noticeable.
Treatments for Wrinkles at Our Plantation Medspa
✨ Neurotoxins (Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, Jeuveau)
The gold standard for dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated movement. By relaxing targeted muscles, neurotoxins smooth lines on the forehead, around the eyes, and between the brows.
✨ Dermal Fillers (Restylane, Juvederm, Sculptra)
For static wrinkles caused by volume loss, fillers restore structure and smooth deeper folds, like smile lines or marionette lines.
✨ Medical-Grade Skincare
Products from Skinbetter, Alastin, and Clinical Skin help support collagen, hydration, and cell turnover to reduce wrinkles and prevent new ones.
The Power of Combination Treatments
For most patients, the best results come from addressing both skin laxity and wrinkles together. At Sage Wellness, we often pair:
- Matrix Pro RF microneedling + Botox → Tightens and smooths
- FRAX 1550 + Sculptra → Resurfaces, firms, and restores youthful contours
- Neurotoxins + fillers + skincare → A holistic anti-aging plan tailored to your needs
