Sagging skin is a common dermatological concern characterised by a loss of skin elasticity, resulting in a drooping or loosening of the skin. As we age, the production of collagen and elastin, crucial proteins responsible for maintaining skin tightness and firmness, decreases. This natural ageing process, combined with factors such as sun exposure, genetics, and lifestyle choices, contributes to the breakdown of supportive structures in the skin. This, in turn, leads to sagging skin, which often manifests in areas such as the face, neck, arms, and abdomen.

What is Sagging Skin?
Causes of Sagging Skin
● Ageing: The primary cause of sagging skin is the ageing process, which leads to the gradual loss of collagen and elastin. Skin tends to lose structural proteins that are created within the skin dermis. So when the overall production declines sagging happens.
● Sun Exposure: UV rays from the sun can accelerate the breakdown of collagen fibers, contributing to premature skin sagging.
● Lifestyle Choices: Unhealthy habits such as smoking, poor nutrition, and lack of exercise can contribute to sagging skin by compromising overall skin health.
● Weight loss: When people are carrying extra weight that their body is not accustomed to, their skin tends to be damaged and loss of collagen and elastin happens, which cannot be regained or reformed even after weight loss. These incidences happen more often when the body experiences quick weight loss and weight gain.
● Pregnancy: During pregnancy the abdominal skin stretches as the baby grows in the womb. Once the baby is born, the mother is left behind with only stretched skin that appears to be saggy and has lost its elasticity.
● Medical Conditions: There can be some underlying medical conditions that are characterized by sagging skin like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome cutaneous lymphome or some connective tissue disorder.
Treatment for Sagging Skin at Dr. Haror’s Wellness
● Personalised Consultation: Our experienced dermatologists conduct a thorough assessment to understand the unique factors contributing to your sagging skin, enabling the creation of a personalised treatment plan. Using the right antiageing molecules and photoprotection can help delay the signs of ageing and improve the condition.
● Hifu (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound): Explore our advanced non-invasive skin tightening procedures that stimulate collagen production, promoting skin elasticity and reducing sagging without the need for surgery. Focused Ultrasound energy is used on the affected area and generated heat penetrates skin layers to induce collagen synthesis and improve sagging skin. It can take a few weeks time to show complete results and successive sessions are recommended.
● Radiofrequency Therapy: Benefit from cutting-edge radiofrequency technology designed to target sagging skin, enhancing collagen formation and tightening loose areas for a more lifted and youthful appearance. Radiofrequency waves penetrate in skin layers where fibroblasts are stimulated. It helps in collagen production and remodeling and makes skin firmer with successive sessions. It is a painless and comfortable procedure with no downtime
● Dermal Fillers: Our skilled practitioners use dermal fillers strategically to restore lost volume, lifting and firming sagging skin for a natural and rejuvenated look. Hyaluronic acid is used as a product that when administered into the dermis helps in tightening the loose skin and compensates for lost volume. They give instant results with minimal downtime and the result looks natural. Results usually last for about a year and more.
● Threadlift: Medical grade dissolvable threads are used which helps in lifting the area. It dissolves and builds collagen around them to keep the results for a longer duration. Results can take about a month to appear and last for many months to almost a year.
● Microneedling Radiofrequency: A radiofrequency-based device is used that has microneedles in front of the probe that creates micro-injuries. The body in response starts healing and creating new collagen which makes the skin firm. Radiofrequency helps in elastin and collagen remodeling and tightens the loose skin. It is a painless procedure as it uses anesthetic application before the procedure. Successive sessions are needed to see complete results over a few months
