Our team is very popular with patients who want to combat sagging facial skin. This is a natural feature of the ageing process, but it can become uncomfortable and affect self-esteem.
Do you know why this happens? It’s related to the decrease in collagen and hyaluronic acid production, which affects our bodies from the age of 25. The signs are slow to appear, but by the age of 30/35 you can already see the appearance of expression lines and sagging. Combined with external factors such as pollution, sun exposure or unhealthy eating habits, the signs of ageing can manifest themselves earlier and more intensely.
A daily skincare routine is essential, but it may not be enough to slow down ageing and combat sagging skin. One way to boost the care you already have is through medical-aesthetic treatments. Nowadays, it is possible to combat sagging skin without surgery and with minimally invasive protocols that delay the signs of ageing and stimulate collagen production. Check out some of these treatments in this article.

Hyaluronic acid promotes tissue support and preserves skin hydration. Filling with hyaluronic acid is a minimally invasive treatment that helps to combat sagging skin, moisturize and add volume and contour to the face.
The effects of hyaluronic acid are long-lasting, so maintenance may not be necessary for up to 12 months. In the long term, the benefits of this treatment for the skin are numerous. The face is rejuvenated, with natural volume, greater elasticity and less sagging.

2. Ultraformer III
The Ultraformer III is a medical-aesthetic treatment that uses innovative technology. Its focus is to combat sagging in the face and neck. Because it is minimally invasive and quite tolerable, this procedure has achieved great popularity.
In each session, ultrasonic waves are emitted that penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating the natural production of collagen and toning muscle tissue. In this way, we achieve a lifting effect that is visible after the first session and improves progressively over time.
As well as sagging skin, it also reduces other signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and uneven texture. Depending on the initial skin diagnosis and what you want to treat, between one and three sessions may be needed to ensure progressive improvement.
3. Collagen Biostimulators
Biostimulators are known for fighting sagging and more advanced signs of skin ageing. They can be applied to various parts of the face, with the exception of the eye contour. This treatment consists of injecting substances into the skin that activate the cells responsible for collagen production. In this way, collagen production is stimulated and your face regains a healthy, hydrated and firmer appearance.
There are three types of biostimulators: Radiesse, Sculptra and Ellansé. The first and last have similar results to hyaluronic acid fillers, giving your face more volume. Sculptra, on the other hand, is ideal for those who want a more uniform face, but without volume. The effects of all three are progressive and depend a lot on the body’s natural response. On average, three sessions are required and the results can last around 18 months.

4. Tensioning wires
Also known as lifting threads, this minimally invasive treatment is an innovative facial rejuvenation technique. The application of tensor threads treats the first signs of sagging, giving the face a natural lifting effect. The skin of the face and neck is firmer and has improved contours.
Using a microcannula, small holes are made in the skin, through which a specific number of tensioning threads are applied, depending on the degree of sagging of the face.
The application process is simple and quick and the results are visible after the first treatment. The body progressively begins to produce more collagen, supporting the tissues. These effects peak 30 days after treatment and last for 12 to 18 months.
As you can see, there is no shortage of alternatives for combating sagging faces in a way that is not invasive. If you feel these are good options for you, talk to a specialist doctor.
