Sagging Skin Treatment

Sagging skin is a common concern as we age, often caused by volume loss (fat and bone) and a decline in skin quality. Over time, the skin loses its structural support, leading to drooping or sagging, particularly around the cheeks, jawline, and neck. Fortunately, there are several non-surgical treatments available that can restore volume and improve skin quality, helping you achieve a firmer, more youthful appearance.

Causes of sagging skin

Volume Loss: As we age, fat loss in the face reduces youthful fullness, contributing to sagging. Bone loss also weakens the skin’s underlying support, making sagging more noticeable.
Decline in Skin Quality: The natural decline of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production over time leads to reduced skin firmness, elasticity, and resilience, increasing the likelihood of sagging.

Effective treatments for sagging skin

A combination of treatments can help restore volume and improve skin quality:

Skin Resurfacing with Laser Treatments: Laser resurfacing stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin. It is particularly effective around the eyes, mouth, and neck, where sagging is most noticeable.
Skin Tightening with Radiofrequency: This non-invasive treatment uses heat to stimulate deeper layers of the skin, improving skin quality, promoting collagen production, and helping tighten and firm sagging skin.
Ultrasound Treatments: Macro and micro-focused ultrasound energy penetrate the superficial and deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production to tighten the skin and improve firmness. This treatment is especially beneficial for the neck and jawline.
Deep Hydration and Skin Plumping: Due to TGA legislation, certain prescription treatments cannot be discussed on the website. Consult with our dermatologist or nurse for a thorough medical assessment to determine the best course of action for your skin.
