Skin Flaccidity

Skin flaccidity (or body laxity) refers to loose, sagging skin on the body that has lost elasticity and firmness. At City Clinic, our firming treatments aim to restore tone, enhance the silhouette and improve skin texture.

Doctors & Specialists:

Loose skin can result from ageing, weight loss, pregnancy or sun damage, and affects areas such as arms, abdomen, thighs or buttocks. Systems using radio‑frequency, ultrasound, laser or targeted muscle stimulation stimulate collagen and elastin production, tighten underlying tissues and redefine body contours. City Clinic’s firming protocols are tailored to your anatomy and goals, offering visible improvement without major surgery.

Post-weight-loss or post-pregnancy laxity
