Why does lower-face skin laxity appear ?
Lower-face laxity results from combined anatomical mechanisms.
Over time, skin loses density and supporting capacity. Collagen production gradually decreases, reducing firmness and elasticity. Fat compartments also change : some diminish while others descend under gravity.
Bone support changes with age, altering facial architecture. Finally, lower-face muscle activity increases downward traction and lost definition.
These changes cause a less clear jawline, jowls, lax skin, marionette lines and a more tired-looking face.
Treatment relies on precise assessment of causes : volume loss, skin laxity, collagen deficiency or dehydration.
Treating lower-face skin laxity with hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is the reference technique for non-surgical contour redefinition. A lifting technique repositions tissues and recreates structural support.
Unlike superficial wrinkle-filling injections, this approach places hyaluronic acid deeply at strategic points. The aim is restored supporting structures.
It tightens tissues, reshapes the jawline, improves the face–neck transition and repositions sagging volume.
Results are immediate but natural because facial architecture is restored.
Price of hyaluronic acid injections for lower-face laxity
Fees depend on product quantity and treatment complexity.
In Geneva, a syringe of hyaluronic acid costs an average of 600 CHF. Comprehensive contour treatment may require two to six syringes according to laxity severity.
Targeted indications such as the jawline or jowls may start around 600 to 800 CHF depending on the clinic.
Treating lower-face skin laxity with Sculptra
Sculptra stimulates collagen to treat diffuse laxity. It does not fill the skin, but encourages natural collagen production.
It is particularly indicated when lower-face skin becomes thin and less firm. It improves density, firms skin, strengthens structure and provides gradual tightening.
Collagen production can increase significantly after treatment, creating a natural, lasting lift.
Price of Sculptra treatment for facial skin laxity
Cost depends on vial numbers and age. Each vial costs 900 CHF, one vial is used per session.
Skinboosters : improving skin quality to treat laxity
Skin quality is decisive for contour firmness. Dehydrated or thin skin supports tissues less effectively.
Skinboosters are fluid hyaluronic acid injections for intensive hydration and improved texture. They provide deep hydration, improved elasticity, denser and brighter skin and indirect contour support.
This often complements structural injections.
Price of Skinboosters to improve skin quality
A Skinbooster syringe costs 400 CHF, two syringes are injected per session. An initial intensive course comprises one to two sessions.
Treating lower-face skin laxity with ablative fractional laser
Ablative fractional laser is among the most effective treatments for skin firmness. It intensely stimulates collagen and cell renewal.
It increases density, improves firmness, smooths the surface and tightens skin.
It is particularly indicated when laxity is mainly skin-related.
Price of ablative fractional laser for facial skin laxity
A fractional laser session costs 900CHF for the face and 600CHF for the neck. The initial intensive protocol comprises 1 to 3 sessions two months apart.
