My skin doesn't feel as smooth or as firm as it used to
Healthy-looking skin isn't just about fewer lines. We can help improve firmness, texture, and overall skin quality with treatments tailored to your skin.
Subtle changes in texture and firmness can change how your skin looks and feels
You might notice your skin feels less smooth, less springy, or not quite as firm as it once did.
These changes can happen gradually, and while they’re completely natural, they can affect how confident you feel in your skin.
What you might be noticing
Why this can happen
As we age, the skin naturally produces less collagen and elastin, which are responsible for its firmness and structure. Cell turnover slows, meaning the skin doesn’t renew itself as quickly, and hydration levels can decrease over time.
Together, these changes can affect both how your skin looks and how it feels, leading to a loss of smoothness, firmness, and resilience.
WHAT CAN HELP
There isn’t one “right” treatment for every person. If your skin doesn’t feel as smooth or firm in some areas as it used to, Jane may recommend one or more of the treatments below, depending on your features, skin, lifestyle, and goals. You can discuss these questions during your complimentary consultation.
To improve skin texture & smoothness
If your skin feels uneven or less smooth, treatments that support renewal and surface quality can make a noticeable difference.
To restore firmness & skin quality
Supporting the skin at a deeper level can help improve firmness and overall skin resilience.
To support structure & longer-term skin health
In some cases, treatments that support underlying structure or skin health over time may be part of the approach.

HAVE A QUESTION?
qUICK ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE
Why doesn't my skin feel as firm as it used to?
As we get older, our skin naturally produces less collagen and elastin, the proteins that help keep it firm, smooth, and resilient. Over time, this can lead to looser skin, changes in texture, and the feeling that your skin isn’t quite as springy as it once was.
Can you improve skin firmness without surgery?
In many cases, yes. While non-surgical treatments can’t stop the ageing process or produce the same results as surgery, they can help improve skin quality, support collagen production, and give your skin a firmer, healthier appearance. The most appropriate option will depend on your skin and the changes you’ve noticed.
Which treatments help improve skin texture?
There isn’t a single treatment that’s right for everyone. Depending on your skin, Jane may recommend options such as skin needling, Profhilo®, skin boosters, LED light therapy, chemical peels, or medical-grade skincare. Sometimes a combination of treatments provides the best results.
Is it too late to improve my skin if I'm in my 50s or 60s or older?
Not at all. Skin continues to respond to the right treatments and skincare at every stage of life. While everyone’s skin ages differently, many people notice meaningful improvements in skin quality, hydration, and texture with a personalised treatment plan.
How can I keep my skin looking healthy between treatments?
Daily skincare, sun protection, and healthy lifestyle habits all play an important role. Jane can recommend medical-grade skincare products that complement your treatment plan and help you maintain your results at home.
MEET YOUR CLINICIAN
Jane Paterson
Changes in skin texture and firmness can have different underlying causes, and they don’t always respond to a single treatment.
Jane will look at your skin as a whole, including its structure, hydration, and overall quality, to understand what’s contributing to these changes.
The treatments outlined here are often helpful, but they’re only a starting point. Jane may suggest other options or combinations depending on what will give the most natural and balanced result for you.
The focus is always on improving how your skin looks and feels, in a way that still feels right for you.
Not sure what’s changed, just that something has?
That’s a common place to start. A consultation gives you the opportunity to understand what’s happening in your skin and explore what might help, without any pressure.
