Skin Laxity and Sagging Skin
Short Summary
Sagging skin, or skin laxity, occurs as collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid naturally decline with age, leading to a loss of firmness and definition across the face, neck, and body. It can also develop after weight loss or sun exposure, when the skin’s support structure weakens.
Dr Sultan offers advanced non-surgical treatments designed to restore firmness, lift, and elasticity, helping you achieve smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
What treatments are available?
We offer a selection of advanced non-surgical treatments designed to lift, tighten, and firm the skin. Our approach combines injectable biostimulators with innovative radiofrequency and collagen-stimulating technologies to restore structure and definition.
Treatments such as Morpheus8, Profhilo, Quantum, and Radiesse work to rebuild collagen, improve elasticity, and enhance natural contours, while Dermal Fillers can be used to restore lost volume and support sagging areas.
Each treatment plan is tailored to your individual needs, ensuring results that feel balanced, natural, and rejuvenated.
What Causes Sagging Skin
Skin laxity can develop for a variety of reasons, most commonly due to a decline in collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, the essential components that keep skin firm, plump, and elastic.
Common causes of skin laxity include:
Ageing: As we age, the production of collagen and elastin naturally slows, resulting in thinner, less elastic skin.
Sun exposure: UV rays break down collagen and elastin fibres, accelerating the ageing process and contributing to sagging skin.
Lifestyle factors: Smoking, poor nutrition, and excessive alcohol consumption can all impair skin health and accelerate loss of firmness.
Weight loss: Rapid or significant weight loss can overstretch the skin, making it difficult for tissue to contract back to its original shape.
Pregnancy: The skin expands to accommodate pregnancy and may not fully retract afterwards, particularly after multiple pregnancies.
Environmental stressors: Exposure to pollution and oxidative stress can weaken the skin’s barrier and damage its support structures.
Skin laxity can occur anywhere on the body, most commonly on the face, neck, upper arms, abdomen, and thighs.
