SAGGING SKIN
As we age, it’s completely natural for our skin to lose some of its firmness. However, when the skin starts to sag, whether around the jawline, neck, eyes or mid-face, it can feel like your reflection doesn’t quite match how you feel inside.
At The Shiny Touch, provide a range solutions that restore not just the look of your skin, but your confidence too.
Treatment for sagging skin doesn’t necessarily mean surgery. With a range of non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments available, it’s now possible to lift, tighten and refresh your skin without drastic procedures or long recovery times.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does skin begin to sag?
Sagging skin is a normal part of the ageing process. Over time, your body produces less collagen and elastin; the proteins that keep skin looking plump, smooth and supported. As these levels drop, the skin can begin to lose its structure and start to droop. This is often most noticeable on the lower face, neck, eyelids and cheeks.
Other factors can accelerate the process like sun exposure, smoking, weight loss, dehydration and even stress. Genetics also play a role in how and when these changes appear. We have recently seen an increase in patients on weight loss medication who are experiencing sagging skin in the face as a side effect of rapid weight loss.
As a result, the skin feels looser, looks less defined, and may cause you to feel older than you are.
What are the common areas effected by sagging skin? While sagging can technically occur anywhere, certain areas are more prone to it, particularly where the skin is thinner or more mobile. You may notice: A softening jawline or development of jowls Drooping eyelids or under-eye hollows A looser neck, sometimes referred to as ‘turkey neck’ Flattening cheeks and reduced volume in the mid-face Skin on the arms or stomach feeling less firm, particularly after weight loss You don’t have to tick every box to benefit from treatment. Whether you’ve noticed early signs or more advanced laxity, we can create a plan that’s tailored to your needs.
How we treat sagging skin? At TST, we offer a range of evidence-based treatments designed to firm, lift and rejuvenate sagging skin, without the need for surgery. Some of our most popular options include: Radiofrequency microneedling – This treatment uses tiny needles and thermal energy to stimulate deep collagen production, helping to firm and tighten skin from the inside out. Profhilo Structura -Profhilo Structura is the latest innovative anti-ageing treatment from the industry-leading, award-winning makers of Profhilo. As we age, the superficial fat layer in the skin that provides support and volume diminishes and descends. In the mid-face, this can cause hollowing in the cheeks and sagging in the lower third of the face. Profhilo Structura combines high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid to regenerate this fat tissue, reducing facial hollows and sagging skin. Dermal fillers -Carefully placed fillers can restore lost volume, re-contour the face and provide support to areas that have started to sag. Polynucleotides -These regenerative treatments work on cellular repair, supporting healthier, firmer skin over time. Medical-grade skincare -We’ll help you choose targeted products that support collagen production and maintain your results between treatments. We take a personalised approach with every patient. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin, listen to your concerns, and build a plan that suits your face, your goals, and your lifestyle. HarmonyCA -HArmonyCa is an innovative hybrid injectable filler that not only provides an immediate volumising effect but also stimulates collagen regrowth long after treatment, tightening and lifting your cheeks and jawline for up to 24 months. It combines Hyaluronic Acid with Calcium Hydroxyapatite. The Hyaluronic Acid element adds volume to the face which fills hollow areas around the cheeks and jaw. Calcium Hydroxyapatite stimulates collagen production which helps to gradually tighten and lift the skin which is what makes HArmonyCa so unique. This product is effective in treating sagging skin as a result of rapid weight loss, a common side effect of Ozempic and Mounjaro.
When Should I consider treatment? There’s no ‘right’ time to start addressing sagging skin, just the time that feels right for you. Some clients begin preventative treatments in their 30s or 40s, while others come to us after seeing more noticeable changes in their 50s or beyond. What’s important is understanding that sagging skin doesn’t need to define how you feel about yourself. With the right guidance and a treatment plan that works for you, firmer, smoother, more youthful-looking skin is well within reach. Ready to feel more like yourself again?
