What It Is & What Is Treated
Skin laxity & drooping occur when the dermis loses essential structural proteins–collagen and elastin, which normally keep skin firm and elastic. These fibers degrade and are produced less efficiently with aging and progressive sun damage, leading to skin thinning and loss of the ability to “snap back” into place. Over time, underlying facial fat pads migrate downward, connective tissue loosens, and the facial bones shrink.
Treatments at VIVA
Helix CO2 laser skin resurfacing (CoolPeel, Sultra, Fusion)
How it's treated
Through deep collagen remodeling, bulk heating, and light surface resurfacing, laser treatments produce a lifted, firmer look. Specifically, fractional CO2 technology targets tiny columns of skin with flexible depth, providing a quick refresh or a deeper customized pass. Minimally invasive procedures like RF microneedling uses heat energy to puncture the skin and trigger a natural healing response, while releasing RF energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production.
What to expect
Minimal downtime with a day or two of mild redness at most, while deeper resurfacing might bring several days of redness and flaking. Results build over a few weeks, consolidating across a treatment series.
