Firm areas where loose, crepey, or drooping skin has begun to soften your natural contours. At New You Center, we look closely at what’s causing the laxity, then help you explore advanced treatment options tailored to your skin and goals.
Firm and Redefine Softened Contours
Sagging skin develops when your skin gradually loses some of the collagen and elastin that help keep it firm, smooth, and supported. You may notice looser skin along your jawline, neck, cheeks, abdomen, arms, or other areas. Aging is a major factor, but sun exposure, genetics, and declining collagen levels can also play a role. Because laxity varies in depth and severity, understanding where the looseness comes from helps determine the right treatment.
Signs & Symptoms of Sagging Skin:
- Loose or drooping skin along your face or body
- Softening or reduced definition around your jawline
- Jowling along the lower face
- Loose or crepey skin on your neck
- Wrinkled or lax skin on your abdomen, arms, or thighs
- Changes in facial contours as skin loses firmness
- Skin that appears thinner or less elastic
Treatment for Sagging Skin
Treating laxity starts with figuring out where and why your skin has lost support. During your consultation, we’ll examine the treatment area, assess the degree and depth of looseness, and discuss your goals, medical history, and previous treatments. Depending on what we find, treatment options may include ultrasound, radiofrequency, laser, or other minimally invasive technologies. We’ll explain how each approach works, what it can achieve, and which option may make the most sense for you.
FAQs
Why Does Your Skin Begin to Sag?
As you age, your body produces less collagen and elastin: the proteins that give your skin firmness and flexibility. Sun exposure, genetics, weight changes, and other factors can accelerate these changes.
Can You Tighten Loose Skin Without Surgery?
Yes, certain noninvasive and minimally invasive treatments can improve mild to moderate skin laxity by stimulating collagen production, contracting tissue, or removing a small amount of skin. More significant looseness may require surgery for the degree of correction you want.
How Long Does Skin Tightening Take to Work?
That depends on your treatment. Some changes may appear relatively quickly, while collagen-stimulating treatments improve gradually as your skin remodels over the following months.
