Skin Laxity Treatment in Korea: Lift, Firm, and Rebuild Youthful Contours Without Surgery

Skin laxity—the gradual loosening and sagging of skin—is a natural part of aging caused by collagen loss, gravity, and sun exposure. While it's most noticeable around the jawline, neck, and eyes, it can also affect the body. Fortunately, Korea is a global leader in non-surgical skin tightening treatments, offering a wide range of advanced solutions to firm and rejuvenate your skin without downtime or surgery.

Seoul’s top aesthetic clinics, especially in Gangnam, Apgujeong, and Myeongdong, specialize in restoring youthful contours through personalized skin laxity treatment plans using FDA- and KMFDS-approved technology.

What Causes Skin Laxity?

Skin laxity occurs when the skin loses collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, reducing its firmness and elasticity. Common causes include:

  • Natural aging (starts in the late 20s and accelerates after 40)
  • UV exposure and sun damage
  • Rapid weight loss
  • Hormonal changes
  • Smoking or pollution exposure

Laxity most commonly affects the jawline, neck, cheeks, eyelids, knees, and abdomen.
