What Causes Sagging Skin?
Everyone loses collagen and elastin as they age. These proteins keep the skin firm, elastic and well supported.
​
Sagging skin develops when collagen production slows and facial fat pads shift downward, causing the skin to lose structural support.
​
Common causes include:
-
Natural ageing
-
UV exposure
-
Weight loss
-
Genetics
-
Smoking
-
Reduced collagen production
-
Hormonal changes
-
Repeated facial movements
-
Poor skincare habits
​
Although ageing cannot be stopped, modern aesthetic treatments can stimulate collagen production and reposition tissues for a firmer appearance.
You may benefit from skin tightening treatment if you notice:
-
Loose cheeks
-
Jowls
-
Sagging jawline
-
Deep nasolabial folds
-
Marionette lines
-
Drooping eyebrows
-
Loose neck skin
-
Reduced facial definition
-
Skin that feels thinner or less elastic
​
Earlier treatment often produces better long-term results by slowing further collagen loss.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can sagging skin be treated without surgery?
Yes. Mild to moderate sagging skin can often be improved using treatments such as Ultherapy PRIME, thread lifts and collagen stimulators without surgical facelifts.
What is the best treatment for sagging skin?
The best treatment depends on the cause of skin laxity. Some patients mainly need collagen stimulation, while others require lifting, volume restoration or a combination of treatments.
At what age should I start skin tightening treatments?
Many patients begin preventive collagen stimulation in their late 20s or early 30s, while lifting treatments are commonly performed from the late 30s onwards depending on individual ageing.
Is Ultherapy better than thread lifting?
They work differently. Ultherapy stimulates collagen production, while thread lifting physically repositions sagging tissue. Some patients achieve better results by combining both.
How long do sagging skin treatments last?
Results vary depending on the treatment, age and lifestyle. Many collagen-stimulating treatments continue improving over several months and can last one year or longer.
Can collagen stimulators replace a facelift?
Collagen stimulators improve skin quality and firmness but cannot replicate the results of surgical facelift procedures for severe skin laxity.
Does losing weight cause sagging skin?
Yes. Significant weight loss may reduce facial fat volume and make loose skin more noticeable, especially in mature patients.
Is there downtime after treatment?
Most non-surgical treatments involve minimal downtime. Recovery varies depending on the treatment performed and your doctor's recommendations.
