Sagging skin

WHEN SHOULD I CONSIDER TREATMENT FOR SAGGING SKIN?

In women, the primary cause of sagging skin is genetic, and the tendency varies from one woman to another.

The cause of this sagging is often hormonal, culminating in the menopause, which precipitates the phenomenon. But exposure to the sun is also a recognized cause. Ultraviolet rays destroy collagen and elastin. The skin loses its firmness and elasticity. Smoking and poor hygiene are aggravating factors that damage skin fibers and tissues.

As we age, the skin naturally produces less and less hyaluronic acid, causing it to dry out. A ptosis of the face is also triggered and causes the tissues to sag.

This phenomenon particularly affects the jawline, the neck, and the jowls with varying losses of firmness. This erasure of the demarcation line of the facial contour results in less marked angles on the jaws, chin, and cheekbones. However, skin laxity can also be seen in men and women on the stomach, inner arms, thighs, and the top of the knee.

It is therefore necessary to treat these areas as soon as the first signs appear and not wait for the phenomenon to become pronounced. Regardless of the area of the body concerned, the faster the treatment is carried out, the more effective and long-lasting the effects will be.

WHICH AESTHETIC MEDICINE PROCEDURES TO USE TO TREAT SAGGING SKIN?

Aesthetic medicine offers many treatments and solutions that slow down the sagging of the skin and reconstitute the dermal mesh.

The medical team at Skincare Agency welcomes you in a unique location in Paris and offers you a variety of solutions. There are several technologies or interventions, without resorting to heavy surgery (such as a facelift for example) which restart the production of collagen, hyaluronic acid or elastin and thus recreate the density and the firmness of the skin.

  • The installation of tensor threads: The Princess® Threads manufactured by the Croma laboratory are absorbable polydioxanone threads that smooth and revitalize the skin through a mechanical lifting action and by stimulating new collagen. The threads will act to boost collagen production in the areas where it is needed without creating volume.
  • Radiesse Injection: Radiesse is a calcium hydroxyapatite-based injection that is composed of minerals naturally occurring in teeth and bones. It fills and lifts the skin by stimulating its own collagen and elastin resources. This product is perfectly suited to treat the lower face or to treat sagging jowls.
  • The Vampire lift: This technique is the favorite treatment of all the stars in America. By injecting your own platelet-rich plasma, this treatment stimulates the stem cells in the dermis that produce collagen and elastin, thus reconstituting the skin fibers.
  • Anti-aging peel: The anti-aging peel is an effective medical procedure that consists of regenerating the layers of the epidermis or dermis that have been altered over time. The aggression caused by the acids used will incite the production of collagen and thus tighten the skin.
  • The Legato™ III: The Legato™ III is a technology that combines radiofrequency and ultrasound. It allows for comprehensive management of skin aging and offers an effective response to skin laxity.
  • Mesotherapy: Mesotherapy is a series of superficial micro-injections that inject active ingredients combined with a base medium of hyaluronic acid, stem cell activator, antioxidants, and amino acids. It is an infusion of vitality that will stimulate the dermis of your skin and give it a plumped, smooth, and revitalized appearance.
  • The Harmony laser: This laser can be used for several issues such as the treatment of spots or scars. It also has a smoothing effect. By delivering small impacts of laser beams, it will cause cell regeneration. Collagen will be stimulated for several months. Afterwards the skin will appear clear and rejuvenated.

Answers to your questions

  • Which treatment is best for sagging skin?
  • There is no one treatment that is better suited than another to correct aging tissue. The most appropriate treatment will always be the one that best suits your skin, your face, your neck, or your body. This is why our expert teams will always first perform a skin diagnosis and then present you with the specific and adapted treatment plan.

  • How to tighten the skin of the cheeks?
  • The skin on the cheeks can be tightened by using tensor threads, hyaluronic acid injections, the Vampire Lift, radiofrequency, and facials.

  • Why does the skin sag?
  • The reasons are often hormonal and age-related, but skin sagging is also aggravated by an unhealthy lifestyle or too much exposure to the sun.

  • Is it possible to tighten the skin after weight loss?
  • Looking to tighten the skin of the stomach, arms, neck, or face after weight loss is obviously very important in order to obtain the full benefits of your efforts. Often, it is recommended to first treat the last very localized fatty deposits with cryolipolysis sessions coupled with radiofrequency sessions to firm up the skin fibers, tighten the tissues and regain the skin’s elasticity.
