Before and After Skin Tightening Treatments

 

Our skin tightening treatments often yield visible and lasting improvements. Key benefits include:

  • Enhanced Contours: Procedures like thread lifts redefine jawlines and tighten the jowl area
  • Improved Skin Elasticity: Non-invasive methods such as RF therapy boost elastin and collagen production, leading to smoother, firmer skin over several sessions
  • Reduction in Fine Lines: Many patients notice a visible decrease in wrinkles, particularly in areas prone to sagging

What Causes Sagging Skin?

Understanding what causes sagging skin is essential before selecting the right treatment. The primary factors include:

  • Natural Aging Process: As we age, our skin loses elastin and collagen, the vital proteins responsible for skin firmness
  • Genetics: Your genetic makeup plays a significant role in how your skin ages
  • Environmental Factors: Sun exposure, pollution, and lifestyle choices can accelerate skin laxity
  • Weight Fluctuations: Significant weight changes can strain the skin’s elasticity

Our dermatological experts at our London clinic assess these factors to determine the most suitable treatment options for your specific concerns.

What Are the Possible Treatments for Saggy Skin?

Our London clinic offers various possible treatments aimed at restoring skin firmness and addressing volume loss. These treatments target collagen depletion, weakened elastin fibers, and gravitational changes, which are primary contributors to skin laxity.

Popular techniques include:

Non-Invasive Modalities:

  • RF or ultrasound technologies stimulate natural collagen production without surgery
  • Chemical peel treatments to rejuvenate superficial layers of skin

Injectable Solutions:

  • Hyaluronic acid fillers restore volume and lift sagging areas
  • Profhilo treatments to hydrate and stimulate tissue regeneration

Surgical Interventions:

  • For severe cases, surgical lifts provide dramatic and long-lasting results

Treatments are customized after a thorough assessment, ensuring that the approach aligns with your skin type, genetics, age, and desired outcomes.

Skin Tightening Treatment Process: Step by Step

While treatment processes differ depending on the chosen method, a general outline includes:

Initial Consultation:

  • Comprehensive skin assessment by a dermatological professional
  • Discussion of medical history, genetics, and aesthetic goals
  • Recommendations for the most suitable treatments tailored to individual needs

Preparation:

  • Non-invasive treatments typically require no special preparation
  • Chemical peel or Profhilo treatments may involve pre-treatment skincare
  • Minimally invasive or surgical procedures may require fasting

Treatment Session:

  • Non-Invasive: A handheld device delivers energy to the skin’s deeper layers, promoting elastin and collagen synthesis. Sessions last 30–60 minutes with no downtime.
  • Minimally Invasive: Fillers, Profhilo, or threads are administered to treated areas using fine needles or cannulas, often under local anesthesia. Minor bruising may occur.
  • Surgical: Performed under general anesthesia, this involves tightening and lifting the skin with incisions tailored to minimize scarring.

Post-Treatment Care:

  • Non-invasive treatments usually involve simple aftercare to calm the skin, such as sun protection and moisturizing
  • Surgical options may require follow-ups and temporary activity restrictions to ensure proper healing

Patients are guided through each step to ensure comfort and optimal results, with clear instructions for post-treatment recovery and maintenance.
