Sagging Skin
One of the most common concerns we hear from our patients is sagging skin. As we age, our skin loses elasticity and firmness, leading to sagging and drooping in various areas of the face and body. In this write-up, we’ll discuss the different types of sagging skin conditions and the treatments we offer to address them.
What is
Facial Sagging
Facial sagging is a common sign of aging and can occur due to a loss of collagen and elastin in the skin, which causes it to lose its firmness and elasticity. This can lead to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin around the eyes, cheeks, and jawline.

HIFU
RADIO FREQUENCY
Also known as Thermage, this is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that tightens and rejuvenates facial skin using radiofrequency energy. It’s FDA-approved and improves the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. The handheld device delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening. The procedure takes 1-2 hours with minimal discomfort or redness.

Treatment
Options for Sagging Skin (Body)
Body Contouring
ElectroMagnetic Muscle Stimulation with RF
Body contouring treatment that uses high-intensity electromagnetic energy to reduce fat and tone muscles in targeted areas like the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. During the procedure, the applicator delivers electromagnetic energy to induce rapid muscle contractions, similar to thousands of sit-ups or squats. The treatment takes only 30 minutes with no downtime required, making it a popular option for those seeking a non-surgical, exercise-free enhancement.
Radiofrequency
Helps to improve the appearance of sagging skin on areas such as the abdomen, arms, and thighs. During the procedure, a handheld device is used to deliver radiofrequency energy deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. The treatment typically takes about 1-2 hours, depending on the area being treated, with minimal discomfort or redness.
