Sagging skin isn't something anyone wants to look at – but it's an unfortunate aspect of the aging process. You may notice skin sagging on various body areas, including your neck, face, and arms.
If you notice that your skin is less tight and starting to sag, cosmetic surgery may be on your mind. But surgery isn't always necessary to lift and tighten your skin; there are less invasive treatments that give you stunning results without surgery.
When you're ready to discuss your options for more youthful-looking skin, look no further than Dr. Anthony N. Dardano's office in Boca Raton, Florida. Dr. Dardano is an experienced plastic and reconstructive surgeon who offers nonsurgical treatment options like TempSure, fillers and injectables, and PRP.
Saggy skin is an unfortunate part of life. Sometimes, it happens because of aging, while other times, it occurs from certain lifestyle choices. The bad news is that you can't simply go to the gym and tighten it up, no matter how hard you try.
But why does skin begin to lose its elasticity and sag in the first place? Getting older is one main reason people start noticing sagging skin. Collagen and elastin are vital proteins that keep your skin looking its best.
As you age, the body produces less collagen and elastin, causing the skin to become loose and wrinkles or fine lines to form. But there are other reasons for loose skin as well, and they include:
Your skin can sag just about anywhere, but it's common on your neck, face, jawline, and abdomen. The worst part about loose skin is how it affects your confidence. It may be challenging to go out and enjoy yourself when all you can think about is your loose or saggy skin.
The good news is there are many things you can do to not only prevent loose skin but improve it without the need for surgery. There are some simple lifestyle tips you can use to firm up your skin and keep it looking healthy, and they include:
Although these measures won't give you facelift-like results, they can help you slow the aging process and keep your skin looking healthy and firm. Sometimes, natural remedies aren't enough, which is where cosmetic and aesthetic procedures come into play.
When you're ready to address your sagging skin, Dr. Dardano offers several options. He will discuss your skin goals to help you decide on the best treatment.
Many factors go into deciding on which treatment Dr. Dardano recommends for you, including your age, the condition of your skin, and your wants and needs. You don't necessarily need a facelift right away, especially for mild to moderate cases of loose skin.
Instead, Dr. Dardano offers various nonsurgical techniques to give you a youthful glow you're proud to show off. A few of our cutting-edge aesthetic treatments include:
Dr. Dardano suggests TempSure Envi® to enhance your appearance without getting a facelift. The TempSure machine utilizes radiofrequency energy to gently heat the skin, which triggers the body's healing response.
Within a week of the procedure, your body begins producing more collagen and elastin. In about a month, you can notice firmer skin, fewer wrinkles, and a tighter, youthful appearance.
Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is another treatment that can restore sagging skin. PRP comes from your blood and contains platelets and essential growth factors, which help repair damage to the skin.
Dr. Dardano utilizes PRP with microneedling to get the growth factors into the layers of the skin. The result is increased collagen and elastin production, which helps lift and tighten your skin.
Injectables are cosmetic treatments for various issues, including wrinkles, volume loss, and frown lines. Dr. Dardano offers facial fillers such as Juvéderm Voluma® to restore volume to your face in the cheeks. It essentially gives you a midface lift without the need for surgery.
He also offers neurotoxins like Botox® to firm up your forehead and under your chin for a tighter, toned appearance. He can use any of these treatments to give you a tighter and more youthful appearance without going under the knife.
