Sagging Skin
Sagging skin can appear as reduced firmness, softer facial contours, crepey texture or a loss of definition. It is often most noticeable around the cheeks, jawline, neck and lower face. While sagging is a natural part of ageing, there are non-surgical options that can support skin quality, collagen production and overall firmness.
At JB Aesthetics, sagging skin is addressed using a bespoke, doctor-led approach focused on skin health and facial harmony. The aim is natural improvement that strengthens the skin and supports structure without creating an overfilled or artificial look.
What Causes Sagging Skin?
Skin laxity can be influenced by a number of factors, including:
Collagen and elastin decline with age
Skin thinning and dehydration
Volume changes and shifting soft tissue support
Sun damage and environmental stress
Weight loss or genetic predisposition
Lifestyle factors such as smoking and chronic stress
Because laxity can be both structural and skin related, professional assessment is essential to choose the most appropriate plan.
How Is Sagging Skin Assessed?
Treatment planning begins with a consultation and detailed facial and skin assessment.
During this appointment, we assess:
Areas of laxity and reduced firmness
Skin quality, thickness and elasticity
Volume distribution and facial support
Lifestyle factors and treatment goals
Suitability for collagen-stimulating and skin-supporting treatments
This ensures treatment is targeted, realistic and balanced.
Treatment Options
Treatment is tailored based on the degree of laxity, skin quality and facial structure. Not every patient will require the same approach. Some patients may benefit from a broader facial balancing approach where skin quality and structural support work together. This is discussed honestly during consultation.
Options that may be considered include:
Skin analysis
To guide treatment planning and track progress
Obagi Medical skincare
To support barrier strength, hydration and long-term skin health
SkinPen® microneedling
To stimulate collagen and improve texture and firmness
MOXI® laser
To refine skin quality and support collagen stimulation where appropriate
BBL® HEROic™
To improve skin tone, vitality and overall skin quality
Regenerative injectables
In selected cases to support hydration, tissue quality and skin remodelling without adding volume
