The jawline that's softened, the skin that doesn't sit quite where it used to. Laxity is the concern people are most often oversold on — so this page is as much about honesty as options.

What's actually happening. Skin laxity is structural: collagen and elastin — the fibers that keep skin firm and springy — decline with age, and the skin's deeper support weakens. Gravity does the rest. It shows first along the jawline and jowls, the neck, and the brow, and it's a different problem from wrinkles — which is why treatments that work on lines don't necessarily lift.
How Vue approaches it. Non-surgical firming is real, but it has limits — and knowing where they are is the difference between a great result and an expensive disappointment. Every laxity plan at Vue starts with an honest assessment of how much laxity there is and what each option can realistically do about it.
Your options, honestly framed. Morpheus8 is the deepest non-surgical remodeling tool on our menu: microneedles deliver radiofrequency heat into the deeper dermis, remodeling collagen where laxity actually lives — with firming along the jawline and neck as the clinical result patients come for. PDO thread lifts physically reposition: dissolvable threads gently lift and support the brow, midface, or neck while stimulating fresh collagen — a subtle, non-surgical lift for mild-to-moderate laxity, and often a bridge before surgery. ClearLift is the gentlest entry point — a no-downtime laser that builds collagen and elastin beneath the surface, best for early laxity and skin quality rather than a true lift.
And when a lift is the honest answer — we'll say so. Vue is one of the few med spas in Salt Lake City led by a facial plastic surgeon. Dr. Swenson is double board-certified in Otolaryngology and Facial Plastic Surgery — so when laxity has passed the point where energy and threads can deliver what you want, you won't be strung along through treatments that can't get there. You'll get a straight answer, and if surgery is the better path, Vue's surgical practice is under the same roof. That's the advantage of a surgeon-backed med spa: we have no reason to sell you the wrong tool.
