Saggy skin, also known as loose or lax skin, refers to skin that has lost its natural firmness and elasticity, causing it to droop or hang. This can result in a less smooth and taut appearance and is often associated with the aging process, weight loss, or other factors that lead to a reduction in the skin’s ability to maintain its structure. Several factors contribute to the development of jowls such as Aging, Loss of Collagen and Elastin, Gravity, Genetics, Sun Exposure, Lifestyle Factors.

It is designed to improve the appearance of various skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, uneven skin texture, and sagging skin. Morpheus8 is known for its ability to target deeper layers of the skin, providing more significant results compared to traditional microneedling or RF treatments alone.
Dermal Fillers:
Injectable fillers, like hyaluronic acid-based fillers, can add volume and lift to areas with sagging skin. They can plump up areas like cheeks, temples, and jawlines, providing a more youthful appearance.
Ultrasound and Radiofrequency:
Procedures like Ultherapy (ultrasound) and Thermage (radiofrequency) use energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. They’re non-invasive options for mild to moderate sagging.
Laser and Light Therapies:
Laser treatments like fractional laser resurfacing can improve skin texture, stimulate collagen, and tighten the skin. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy can address pigmentation issues that might accompany sagging skin.
