Face & Aging
Loose & Sagging Skin
Non-surgical options for firmer-looking skin, face to body.
What it is
Skin laxity is the gradual loss of firmness that makes skin look looser or heavier. On the face it often shows along the jawline, around the mouth and on the neck; on the body, on the abdomen, arms and thighs.
Non-surgical treatments work by tightening and stimulating collagen, by adding support under the skin, or both. They can make a visible difference in mild to moderate laxity. They don't replace surgery when there's a lot of excess skin.
Common causes
- Natural loss of collagen and elastin
- Bone and fat changes in the face with age
- Sun damage over the years
- Weight changes, including after pregnancy
- Genetics
Areas
- Jawline
- Jowls
- Under the chin

How we plan it
The right option depends on how much laxity there is, where it is, your skin quality and how much downtime you can take. Mild laxity may respond to a series of non-invasive sessions; more advanced cases may need a minimally invasive treatment or a combination.
When surgery would serve you better, we'll tell you. Collagen results build gradually over months and vary from person to person.
Skin care at home
Sunscreen, retinoids and peptides support firmer-looking skin between treatments.
Frequently asked questions
Can sagging skin be treated without surgery?
Mild to moderate laxity often improves with non-surgical treatments. Significant excess skin is usually better treated surgically, and we'll be honest about that.
When will I see results?
Some treatments show early tightening, but collagen keeps building for several months after treatment.
Is there downtime?
It ranges from little or none (Forma RF, Evolve X) to a few days (Morpheus8) or more (Quantum, thread lift). We'll go over it at your consultation.
Do results last?
Collagen you build lasts, but aging continues. Most people plan maintenance sessions.
