SAGGING SKIN (BODY)
Sagging Skin on the Body refers to the loss of skin firmness and elasticity, leading to a loose or drooping appearance. As we age, the production of collagen and elastin decreases, which weakens the skin's structure. This can result in sagging, especially in areas such as the arms, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and knees. Factors like significant weight loss, pregnancy, sun exposure, and genetics can accelerate skin laxity. The skin loses its ability to "snap back" after stretching, causing it to appear loose and less toned.




DID YOU KNOW
Collagen production declines by about 1% per year starting in our late 20
What are the causes?
​
Pregnancy
During pregnancy, the skin stretches to accommodate the growing belly. After childbirth, the skin may not always return to its pre-pregnancy tightness, resulting in sagging, especially around the abdomen and thighs.
Sun Exposure
Uv from the sun breaks down collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, which are crucial for maintaining its structure and elasticity. Over time, prolonged sun exposure accelerates the natural aging process, leading to the loss of skin firmness and causing it to sag.
​
Weight Loss
Significant or rapid weight loss can stretch the skin beyond its ability to retract, resulting in loose and saggy skin. This is particularly noticeable in areas such as the abdomen, arms, and thighs, where the skin may have been stretched over time.
Aging
As we age, the body produces less collagen and elastin, proteins that give skin its firmness and flexibility. This natural decline results in thinner, less resilient skin.
HOW TO TREAT?

Exilis 360
Exilis is a non-invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to target sagging skin and improve elasticity on various areas of the body. The RF energy gently heats the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production, which helps to tighten and firm the skin over time. It is commonly used to treat areas like the abdomen, arms, thighs, flanks, and buttocks, reducing sagging and enhancing overall skin texture. Exilis is ideal for individuals looking to address mild to moderate skin laxity without the need for surgery. Each session typically lasts 20-30 minutes, with minimal downtime.
Thermage
Thermage is a non-invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten and tone the skin on various areas of the body. The RF energy heats the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining skin's firmness and elasticity. This process helps to tighten sagging skin, improve texture, and restore a more youthful appearance. Thermage is commonly used to treat areas such as the abdomen, arms, thighs, flanks, and buttocks, making it an effective option for individuals looking to address mild to moderate skin laxity without surgery. Each treatment typically lasts 30-90 minutes, depending on the area being treated, and there is no downtime, allowing patients to resume daily activities immediately.
