Restoring Firmness:
Combatting Sagging Skin
A loss of skin firmness and elasticity is a natural part of the aging process, leading to sagging around the jawline (jowls), cheeks, and neck. This occurs as the structural proteins in our skin, collagen and elastin, begin to break down. Fortunately, modern aesthetic technology offers powerful, non-surgical solutions to lift, tighten, and restore a more youthful contour.
What is Sagging Skin?
What Causes Sagging Skin?
Several factors contribute to the loss of skin firmness:
- Aging: The primary cause. After age 20, our bodies produce about 1% less collagen in the skin each year.
- Sun Damage: UV radiation is the biggest external factor, as it accelerates the breakdown of collagen and elastin.
- Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, significant weight fluctuations, and poor nutrition can all negatively impact skin elasticity.
- Genetics: Your genes play a role in how quickly your skin ages and loses firmness.
How to Improve and Treat Sagging Skin
While topical creams can help with skin hydration, they cannot penetrate deep enough to significantly lift sagging skin. For a visible lift, treatments must target the skin’s foundational layers.
At-Home and Preventive Care:
- Protect from the Sun: Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen is crucial to protect your existing collagen from further damage.
- Healthy Lifestyle: A balanced diet rich in antioxidants, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking will support overall skin health.
- Skincare with Retinoids: Products containing retinoids can help stimulate a modest amount of collagen production over the long term.
Professional Treatments at Radiance Clinic:
- We specialize in non-invasive treatments that stimulate your body’s own collagen and elastin production for natural-looking, long-lasting results.
- HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound): This treatment delivers focused ultrasound energy deep into the structural layers of the skin, including the SMAS layer that surgeons target in a facelift. This energy gently heats the tissue, triggering a powerful collagen and elastin renewal process. The result is a visible lift and tightening effect that improves over 2-3 months.
