Sagging Skin

Sagging skin is apparent on the lower face, neck and on body. It is often caused by major or rapid weight loss and ageing.

With major weight loss, the skin is stretched from excess weight and as fat decreases, there is less volume to fill the skin, resulting in loose and sagging skin.

As we age, we lose collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin help to keep the skin flexible and supple and as the production of collagen and elastin decrease, skin laxity increases and skin appears crepey.

Depending on the area you would like treated, treatments like skin tightening can restore volume and reduce visible laxity to prevent the appearance of ageing by stimulating elastin and collagen production.

Laser treatments can also help to vaporise excess skin. Radiofrequency is a non-invasive treatment to heat the skin to 42 degrees celsius to empty fat cells and tighten the skin on the face or body.

Injectables help to treat sagging skin on the face by administering hyaluronic acid help to restore lost volume, causing the drop of skin, to pull the skin for a lifted and hydrated appearance.
