Sagging Skin

Overview

Skin laxity develops as the skin and deeper supporting tissues gradually lose collagen, elastin and structural support.

Ageing affects multiple layers of the face and body, including the skin, fat compartments, ligaments and bone. This can result in loss of definition, jowling and a gradual downward shift of soft tissue.

Common Concerns

Treatment Options

Dermal Fillers

Strategically placed fillers can restore lost structural support and improve facial contour.

Hybrid Collagen-Stimulating Injectables

May provide immediate structural support while stimulating progressive collagen production.

HIFU/Micro-focused ultrasound

Focused ultrasound energy targets deeper tissue layers to stimulate collagen remodelling and improve skin firmness.

Radiofrequency Microneedling

Combines microneedling with controlled thermal energy to stimulate collagen and improve skin firmness and texture.

Our Approach

Not all skin laxity is caused by the skin itself. We assess the face or body as a whole to determine whether the primary concern is skin quality, volume loss, structural support or a combination of these factors.

Treatment is selected according to the underlying cause rather than simply adding volume to areas that appear loose.
