As we age (as, ugh, we all inevitably do), it’s not uncommon to notice changes in our skin. Loss of elasticity, volume, and that once-youthful firmness can leave us looking a little more weathered than we’d prefer.
Sagging skin is a common concern, but you’re in luck; there are cutting-edge treatments available to tackle it.
Why Does Skin Sag?
Our skin is a complex organ, reinforced by collagen and elastin fibers that give it structure, firmness, and elasticity. As we age, the production of these proteins declines, leading to loss of volume and skin sagging. Lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, diet, weight fluctuations, and smoking can also hasten this process.What to Do About it Now
Don’t worry, we are not at the mercy of time and gravity. A host of cosmetic treatments can help us combat sagging skin, restoring confidence and youthfulness without surgery!InstaLift
InstaLift is a non-surgical procedure inspired by the facelift. It uses absorbable sutures to lift and reposition sagging facial skin. These sutures not only provide an immediate lift but also stimulate collagen production over time, enhancing skin firmness. The procedure is minimally invasive, performed under local anesthesia, and takes approximately 45 minutes. Results are visible immediately, with the optimal effect seen in about 2-3 months. While some temporary side effects, such as mild swelling and bruising, are possible, most people can resume regular activities within a few days, making the recovery time much quicker than a facelift.Novathreads
Novathreads is another absorbable suture technique that uses a special type of polydioxanone (PDO) threads. These threads are inserted into the skin to lift, tighten, and stimulate collagen production. The procedure is also minimally invasive, with a quick recovery time and minimal side effects. Results can last up to a year, making Novathreads an appealing choice for those seeking longer-term solutions.Venus Legacy
Venus Legacy is a non-invasive treatment that uses multi-polar radiofrequency and pulsed magnetic fields to produce a therapeutic heat matrix over the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing response, increases collagen synthesis, and tightens the skin. It sounds intense, but we assure you it is a comfortable, virtually pain-free treatment, with most patients describing the sensation as similar to a hot-stone massage. With a series of treatments, Venus Legacy can provide a noticeable lift and a smoother skin texture.Plasma Pen
The Plasma Pen uses plasma energy—hence the name—to stimulate instant contraction and tightening of skin fibers. This treatment is especially effective for areas like the upper and lower eyelids, which are difficult to treat with other techniques. The procedure involves creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin, which trigger the body’s natural healing response, leading to tighter and firmer skin. While recovery may take a couple of days, the treatment is appropriate for fragile treatment areas, and the results can be dramatic and long-lasting.Liquid Facelift
A liquid facelift is an easy non-surgical procedure that uses a combination of dermal fillers and neuromodulators like Botox to restore facial volume, reduce wrinkles, and provide a lift to sagging skin. Fillers like Juvederm or Restylane add volume and plump the skin, while neuromodulators reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. This procedure is highly customizable, allowing for a tailored approach to address individual patient concerns. Results can be seen immediately and can last up to a year or more with proper care and follow-up.Get Your Skin Back
