Abstract
The skin laxity is a feature which appears early over the face with age. The skin laxity associated with old age can be corrected by various surgeries. Non-surgical treatment may be another option. Hereby we are sharing our experience of using a non-surgical technique for skin tightening using gel eye patches which contains collagen.
