Sagging skin on the face and neck
Sagging is the loss of firmness of the skin and the tissues that hold it. Over the years collagen falls, the fat compartments of the face shift and the jawline blurs; weight changes and sun speed it up. In consultation we assess whether the sagging is mild, moderate or marked, because that decides which firming treatment makes sense and when a referral to surgery is advisable.
How we approach it
- Focused ultrasound, for mild sagging
- Tensor threads, for the jawline and neck
- Biostimulators, for firmness and density
- Radiofrequency, for skin quality

Frequently asked questions
Which firming treatment is best?
There is no single best one for everyone. It depends on the degree of sagging, the area and the quality of the skin, and they are often combined. We decide together at the assessment.
When is surgery the better option?
When sagging is marked and there is excess skin, aesthetic medicine has limits. If that is your case we will tell you clearly and point you towards a plastic surgeon.
When do changes show?
Treatments that stimulate collagen work gradually over weeks or months, and the response varies from person to person. The doctor will explain what to expect with each option.
What happens at the information visit?
It is a first visit with the doctor, at no cost, where we listen to you, examine the area and explain which options make sense in your case. There is no commitment to start any treatment.
