Sagging skin

Sagging skin is a problem that all of us will face as we get older. (Thank you gravity!) Take a look at how we can improve loose, lax skin on the face and body

As we age we lose volume in our face, primarily fat. As a result skin can hang down as gravity acts on it creating droopiness, wrinkles and bands. This can be thought of as excess skin and is similar in concept to a dress that becomes too large as its owner loses weight. In cases where you have a significant amount of this loose skin, you may find no other solution than plastic surgery (e.g. facelift, body lift, arm lift, etc.) because the underlying muscles need to be addressed and repositioned.

However, if you’re not interested in a face-lift? That’s fine – there are noninvasive procedures worth investigating. Laser treatments help stimulate the development of new collagen and get heat deeply into the skin to help tighten fibrous bands.

See below Renew’s treatment choices to address sagging skin.

  • I am in my mid-sixties and was very self-conscious about my upper arms as the loose skin was beginning to hang in a series of small waves down the top of my inner arms - not a great look! This made me avoid wearing short-sleeved tops, and I was not looking forward to being overly warm in long sleeves during the warmer summer weather. Lovely Kelly (who has a great depth of knowledge and experience in medical aesthetics) was very understanding and suggested a series of radiofrequency treatments to tighten the offending skin areas.. The procedure was very comfortable - and even enjoyable, and I looked forward to my weekly visits. The effect of the treatment has been remarkable - not only is the skin tighter, but the quality is much better! This has given a huge boost to my confidence and I have already bought some sleeveless tops. I would now like to have my whole body done....... . I thoroughly recommend this treatment and this wonderful clinic !
