Skin laxity (excess skin) develops from a combination of aging skin quality, gravity, and loss of structural support systems and is one of the core treatments that Plastic Surgeons provide when we remove excess skin surgically. There are only two ways to treat skin laxity: 1- surgical excision; 2- aesthetic technology. Dr. Christie is a double board-certified surgeon who believes in treating the whole patient and creating a treatment plan that is right for YOU! Whether you are a candidate for surgery or want to manage skin laxity non-surgically through skin tightening Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. Christie is the best resource to help you navigate your anti-aging journey.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT SKIN TIGHTENING?

Dr. Christie is obsessed with skin tightening for the simple reason that it is one of the primary complaints presented to a plastic surgeon’s office. Skin laxity develops throughout the face and body as part of the aging process or in response to excess stress (such as rapid growth of breasts or abdomen during pregnancy or puberty). Aesthetic technologies improve skin laxity by delivering a controlled injury within the deeper layer of the skin (dermis), resulting in the creation of new collagen and elastin.

The Science of Skin Tightening It is estimated that adult skin loses approximately one percent of collagen per year.

Your skin is comprised of an underlying network of collagen and elastin fibers that provide a scaffolding for the skin that determines its degree of firmness and elasticity. As we age, this intricate fiber network loosens and unravels. When collagen fibrils are heated to the correct temperature, cross-links are broken, causing the triple helix structure of collagen to undergo contraction leading to tissue tightening over time. Exceeding critical threshold temperature or injury causes the collagen fibrils to completely denature.
