Sagging Skin

Fillers like Restylane may offer immediate results, while biostimulatory treatments like Sculptra or Morpheus8 may require multiple sessions to see full benefits as collagen production increases over time.

Most people experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site or treatment area. These effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few days.

Various different things cause sagging, including loss of collagen and elastin. Contributing factors include sun exposure, weight loss, genetics, smoking, poor nutrition and hydration, and hormonal changes.

Skin can start to sag as early as your late 20s to early 30s, but it becomes more noticeable in your 40s and beyond. The exact timing depends on contributing factors.

Certain areas of the body are more prone to sagging because they either have thinner skin, less structural support, or are frequently exposed to movement, gravity, or sun damage. The most commonly affected areas include: face, neck, and body parts such as stomach, upper arms, thighs, buttocks, and knees.

Sun exposure is one of the main causes of premature skin aging and sagging, often referred to as photoaging. UV radiation breaks down collagen and elastin. It triggers free radical damage. Chronic sun exposure interferes with skin cell turnover, reducing the skin’s natural ability to heal, rebuild collagen, and stay firm. Over time, UV rays cause the skin to become thinner and more fragile.

Preventing sagging skin involves a combination of daily habits, skincare, and lifestyle choices that preserve collagen, elastin, and overall skin health. Prevention includes protecting your skin from the sun, using the right skincare, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and avoiding rapid weight loss. Prevention treatments include microneedling, laser skin tightening, injectables like Sculptra, and facials and peels.

Nonsurgical in-office treatments can help tighten skin depending on the severity. Treatments include microneedling with or without PRP, laser resurfacing, Morpheus 8, or Sculptra.

Yes, weight loss can cause sagging skin, especially if the weight loss is significant, rapid, or occurs after years of being overweight.

To help improve sagging skin, you want skincare products that stimulate collagen, boost elasticity, firm the skin, and hydrate deeply. Products include etinoids, peptides, Vitamin C, Hyaluronic acid, growth factors, and antioxidants.

Sculptra is an injectable treatment made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biostimulatory substance. It works by stimulating your body to produce its own collagen, gradually restoring volume, firmness, and structure to sagging or hollow areas of the face and body.
