Skin laxity follows the natural reduction of collagen and elastin, with loss of firmness and contour in areas such as the face, neck, abdomen, arms and thighs. Options here combine monopolar radiofrequency, microfocused ultrasound and collagen biostimulators, as well as hyaluronic acid to restore volume and definition. What is appropriate is determined in an individual assessment.
Stretch marks result from rupture of elastic fibres and may follow hormonal change, genetics, pregnancy or variation in weight. They are common on the abdomen, breasts, buttocks and thighs. Individualised options include fractional laser, chemical peels, picosecond laser and intense pulsed light. These techniques stimulate collagen, soften the marks and work on skin texture.
Hyperhidrosis is sweating beyond what the body requires, affecting the underarms, hands, feet and face. It goes beyond physical discomfort and can interfere with daily routine and social life. Options include botulinum toxin, which reduces sweat production, alongside topical treatments and laser therapies.
