Sagging skin develops slowly as the skin loses firmness and elasticity over time. Patients often notice softening along the jawline, reduced definition in the neck and a loss of contour in the cheeks. These changes occur as collagen and elastin production naturally decline, leaving the skin less able to maintain its structure.
At Severn River Medspa, our personalized treatment approach is informed by where laxity is happening, how advanced it is and the type of result you hope to achieve.
What Causes Sagging Skin?
Sagging skin can be caused by multiple factors. Aging is the primary driver, as the body produces less collagen and elastin over time. Sun exposure, weight changes and genetics can also play a role. As these structural proteins break down, the skin gradually loses the support that once kept it firm.
Patients tend to notice these changes first along the jawline, neck and cheeks. Because skin laxity can range from mild softening to more noticeable changes in facial contours, treatment starts with evaluating the extent of the concern and the areas involved.
What Treatments Can Address Sagging Skin?
Viora Reaction
Viora Reaction uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of skin, encouraging the body's natural collagen production. Patients often choose this treatment when they are interested in a gentle option with little to no downtime.
Virtue RF Microneedling
Virtue RF microneedling pairs precision microneedling with radiofrequency to target the face and neck. Beyond addressing sagging, it can improve texture, fine lines, acne scars and pigmentation.
Deep RF Microneedling
Deep RF microneedling works at a deeper layer of tissue, making it a strong choice for patients with more pronounced laxity in body areas such as the abdomen, arms and legs.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing addresses sagging, sun damage and textural concerns by refining the skin's outer layers and stimulating collagen renewal beneath the skin.
Medical-Grade Skincare
A medical-grade skincare routine helps maintain your results between treatments and protects skin from further damage that can accelerate sagging over time.
Facelift
When sagging has progressed beyond what nonsurgical treatments can address, a facelift offers a more permanent solution by repositioning and tightening underlying tissue
