What is Sagging Skin?
Sagging skin, medically known as ptosis, occurs due to factors like natural aging, which reduces collagen and elastin production.
These proteins maintain skin firmness and elasticity, but their regeneration declines with age, causing sagging.
Significant weight loss can also stretch the skin beyond its ability to bounce back, contributing to laxity.
Additionally, factors like sun exposure, smoking, genetics, and lifestyle choices can accelerate collagen and elastin breakdown, speeding up drooping skin.
Sagging Skin Treatments
Aesthetic Consultation
In our dermatology consultation for rosacea, our specialists conduct a thorough examination to diagnose and fully understand your condition.
We explore your medical history and potential triggers to create a personalized treatment plan, which may involve prescription medicines alongside advanced therapies like IPL or laser treatments.
Our aim is to provide you with the expertise and guidance needed to effectively manage your symptoms and restore skin confidence.
Thread Lift
Thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure aimed at lifting and tightening loose skin on the face and neck.
During the procedure, dissolvable threads are inserted under the skin using a fine needle, creating a support structure that lifts the skin. As the threads gradually dissolve, they stimulate collagen production, further enhancing the skin’s firmness and elasticity.
Thread lift offers a non-surgical alternative to traditional facelift surgery, with minimal downtime and natural-looking results.
Sculptra
Sculptra, a dermal filler, stimulates collagen to address drooping skin gradually.
Injected to restore volume, it rebuilds collagen for subtle, natural-looking results, particularly effective for facial fat loss.
Through a series of sessions spaced over time, patients experience enhanced skin laxity and contour, promoting a lasting youthful appearance.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers offer a non-invasive solution for sagging skin by replenishing lost volume and restoring youthful contours.
Composed of hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible materials, these fillers are injected beneath the skin to smooth wrinkles, plump hollow areas, and lift sagging skin.
By adding volume and stimulating collagen production, dermal fillers provide immediate rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
Whether used to address nasolabial folds, marionette lines, or sunken cheeks, dermal fillers offer natural-looking results that can last several months to over a year, depending on the product used.
Profhilo
Profhilo is a revolutionary injectable treatment that boosts hydration and stimulates collagen and elastin production to improve skin laxity and restore volume, addressing sagging skin.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Profhilo spreads evenly beneath the skin, providing a global improvement in skin quality and elasticity.
With a minimal number of sessions and virtually no downtime, Profhilo offers natural-looking results that last up to six months, making it an ideal option for individuals seeking non-surgical skin tightening and rejuvenation.
Microneedling
Microneedling, a popular treatment for lax skin, involves using fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin.
This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, triggering the production of collagen and elastin. Over time, this leads to firmer, smoother skin with improved elasticity.
Microneedling is effective for reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin, making it a versatile option for skin rejuvenation. It is minimally invasive and requires little downtime, making it suitable for individuals seeking non-surgical solutions for sagging skin.
What causes sagging skin?
Sagging skin is primarily caused by a loss of collagen and elastin, which are proteins responsible for the skin’s firmness and elasticity.
Factors such as aging, sun exposure, genetics, weight loss, and certain lifestyle habits can contribute to this loss, resulting in sagging skin over time.
How long does it take to see results from sagging skin treatments?
The time it takes to see results from sagging skin treatments varies depending on the specific treatment and individual factors such as skin type, age, and the severity of the condition.
Some treatments, like dermal fillers or thread lifts, may provide immediate results, while others, such as collagen-stimulating treatments like Sculptra, Prohilo or microneedling, may require several weeks to months to see noticeable improvements.
It’s essential to follow your practitioners recommendations and have realistic expectations regarding the timeline for results.
