Understanding Sagging Skin: Causes and Treatment Options

skin laxitySagging skin is a common concern that many people experience as they age.

Mulberry House Clinic, a medically-led skin treatment clinic in the UK, offers a range of anti-ageing and cosmetic skin treatments, including non-surgical options for sagging skin. In this article, we will explore the causes of sagging skin and the various treatment options available to address this issue.

What Causes Sagging Skin?

Sagging skin is caused by a combination of factors, including the natural ageing process, genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices.

As we age, the skin’s collagen and elastin production declines, leading to a loss of elasticity and firmness.

Genetics also play a role in the skin’s ageing process, with some people being more prone to sagging skin than others.

Sun exposure is another major contributor to sagging skin, as the sun’s UV rays damage the skin’s collagen and elastin fibres.

Lastly, lifestyle factors such as smoking, poor diet, and lack of exercise can accelerate the ageing process and contribute to sagging skin.

5 Treatment Options for Sagging Skin

There are several treatment options available for sagging skin, ranging from non-surgical options to surgical procedures. Here are some of the most popular options:

  1. Ultherapy: Ultherapy is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten and lift the skin. The treatment is non-surgical and requires no incisions or downtime, making it an attractive option for those who want to avoid surgery. We are huge fans of this treatment for tackling loose skin. As well as facial treatments, it can also be used on body areas such as the décolletage
  2. TIXEL thermal fractional rejuvenation: This treatment uses focused heat energy to reach the skin’s deeper layers, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. The treatment is non-invasive and requires no downtime, making it an attractive option for those with mild to moderate skin sagging while also avoiding any use of chemicals or lasers
  3. Dermal Fillers: Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that can help to add volume to the face and fill in wrinkles and fine lines. They can also be used to lift and contour sagging skin. Treatments such as the multi-point face lift (exclusive to Mulberry House Clinic) are essentially a non-surgical way to achieve face lifting results. Also referred to as the ‘liquid face lift’
  4. Thread Lift: Thread lift is a non-surgical procedure that uses dissolvable threads to lift sagging skin. The threads are placed under the skin’s surface, and as they dissolve, they stimulate collagen production, leading to tighter, firmer skin. This procedure is no longer offered at Mulberry House Clinic for a series of reasons. To find out more read Threadlifts Important Information for 2019
  5. Surgical Procedures: For those with more severe sagging skin, surgical procedures such as facelifts, brow lifts, and neck lifts may be necessary to achieve the desired results. Again, this is not something that we offer here. Non-surgical procedures are generally a lot less invasive and cost effective. We are happy to advise on the advantages and disadvantages.
