Loss of Elasticity
Loss of skin elasticity, known as elastosis, is a natural part of aging where the skin gradually loses its ability to stretch and snap back into place. This process is primarily due to the degradation of elastin and collagen, proteins that provide structural support and flexibility to the skin. Contributing factors include prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, smoking, poor nutrition, and environmental pollutants, all of which can accelerate the breakdown of these proteins.
As elasticity diminishes, the skin becomes more prone to sagging, wrinkles, and fine lines, especially in areas frequently exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck, and hands. While the aging process cannot be completely halted, measures such as using sunscreen, maintaining a healthy diet, avoiding smoking and doing treatments that promote collagen production can help slow the loss of skin elasticity and maintain a more youthful appearance.

Juläine - A New Generation of Collagen Stimulation
One of the most exciting additions to our treatment menu at The Townhouse Clinic is Juläine - a next-generation injectable biostimulator developed by Swedish biotech innovator Nordberg Medical. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add immediate volume, Juläine works at a deeper level, using poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) microspheres to stimulate your skin's own collagen production from within.
The result is a gradual but meaningful improvement in firmness, elasticity and skin quality — changes that look natural because they are natural. Results typically develop over six to twelve weeks following a course of two to three treatments, and can last up to two years. For patients experiencing visible loss of elasticity, sagging along the jawline or mid-face, or general thinning of the skin, Juläine offers a sophisticated, long-term solution that works with your biology rather than simply masking the signs of ageing.
