Sagging Skin Treatment

At Dermal Health we treat sagging skin using modern dermatological advancements. We offer highly effective solutions to address this often-asked-about sign of ageing. Our specialised treatments (p(LA-CL) Threads and Dermal Fillers—are designed to combat exactly the sign of ageing that is loose, sagging skin.

Causes of Sagging Skin

  1. Ageing: One of the primary factors contributing to sagging skin is the natural ageing process. As we age, the production of collagen and elastin – proteins responsible for skin elasticity – decreases, leading to a loss of firmness and suppleness.

  2. Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to harmful UV rays can accelerate the breakdown of collagen fibers, resulting in premature ageing and sagging skin.

  3. Genetics: Genetic factors play a role in determining skin structure and elasticity. Some individuals may be genetically predisposed to develop sagging skin earlier in life.

  4. Weight Loss: Rapid or significant weight loss can lead to sagging skin, as the skin may not have enough time to adapt to the body’s new contours.

  5. Lifestyle Factors: Unhealthy lifestyle choices such as smoking, poor nutrition, and lack of exercise can contribute to the development of sagging skin.

Signs of Sagging Skin

  1. Loose or Excess Skin: The most noticeable sign of sagging skin is the presence of loose or excess skin in specific areas, such as the jowls, neck, and underarms.

  2. Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Sagging skin often accompanies the formation of wrinkles and fine lines, especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.

  3. Decreased Skin Firmness: A reduction in skin firmness and elasticity is a key indicator of sagging skin. The skin may appear less toned and resilient.

  4. Hollowed or Sunken Areas: Sagging can lead to the loss of volume in certain facial areas, resulting in a hollow or sunken appearance.

Our Solutions For Skin Laxity

p(LA-CL) Threads

For addressing sagging skin, an effective option we specialise in at Dermal Health is poly-L-lactic acid and caprolactone p(LA-CL threads, which provide a non-surgical solution to lift and rejuvenate the skin. This treatment involves inserting biocompatible and biodegradable threads beneath the skin, which offer an immediate lifting effect but also enhance the skin’s structural integrity.

For more information about the threads we use at Dermal Health please visit our thread lift page here.

Key Features of Threads:

Instant Lift

After strategically positioning the threads under the skin, sagging tissues are immediately supported and lifted. This provides a noticeable improvement straight after the procedure.

Collagen Stimulation

 Threads activate the natural production of collagen, vital for maintaining the elasticity and strength of the skin. This ongoing collagen boost helps in improving the skin’s texture and firmness.

Long-lasting Effects

The dual benefits of an instant lift and progressive rejuvenation through collagen production ensure that the results can be sustained for up to two years or more.

Benefits of Choosing Threads

Minimally Invasive Approach: Unlike traditional surgical lifts, threads require no cuts or incisions, leading to a quicker, less invasive procedure with minimal recovery time.

Natural-looking Results

The gradual improvement in the skin’s appearance following the procedure allows for more subtle, natural-looking results, avoiding the overt changes that surgeries might impart.

Versatility

p(LA-CL) threads are versatile and are capable of treating various areas of the face and neck that exhibit signs of ageing or sagging.

This method offers a practical and efficient solution for those seeking to reverse the signs of ageing without the complexities and downtime associated with surgical options.

Dermal Fillers

What Are Dermal Fillers? 

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. We use the safe option of dermal fillers, ones that contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that hydrates and plumps the skin. For more information visit our dermal fillers page here.

How Dermal Fillers Work

  • Volume Restoration: Strategic injections replenish lost volume and lift sagging skin.
  • Wrinkle Reduction: Fillers smooth out fine lines and wrinkles for a skin-enhanced, youthful look.
  • Facial Contouring: This can enhance features like cheeks, chin, and jawline.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers

  • Quick and Efficient: Treatments take less than an hour with immediate visible results.
  • Non-surgical: No incisions required, allowing for a rapid return to daily activities.
  • Customisable: Treatments tailored to your unique needs and aesthetic goals.
