Loose Skin Treatment London
Skin laxity has multiple causes including weight loss, pregnancy, and ageing. Clinical treatments can restore firmness through collagen stimulation or surgery.

Understanding Loose Skin
Our skin’s firmness and elasticity come from collagen and elastin, two vital proteins. As we age, our bodies produce less of them. This, combined with other factors, causes the skin to lose its underlying support structure, leading to sagging.
Major Causes:
- Ageing: The most common cause. From our late 20s, collagen production declines by about 1% per year, leading to thinner, less elastic skin.
- Weight Loss: Rapid or significant weight loss can leave behind loose skin after weight loss, as the skin doesn’t have enough time or elasticity to shrink back to your new body shape.
- Pregnancy: Similar to weight loss, the abdominal skin stretches dramatically and may not fully retract postpartum.
Sun Exposure: UV rays break down collagen and elastin fibres, accelerating the ageing process and contributing to skin laxity, especially on the loose skin face and neck.
While a healthy lifestyle, hydration, and certain topical creams can improve skin texture, they cannot fundamentally tighten loose skin once it has lost significant elasticity. To see a meaningful improvement, you need treatments that stimulate deep collagen production or surgically remove the excess skin.

274 days agoShumaila staff at the Chigwell branch are friendly, very professional and know what they a are doing. I went with skin concerns and they recommended the right treatments (things I didn't even know about), they took their time to talk me through the treatments, time to consider and answer all my questions. I get a range of treatments and recommend them all highly, in particular Bushra at the Chigwell branch who is very patient and knowledgeable. My skin is always glowing, its tightened and wrinkles are massively reduced. I feel 10 years younger.

285 days ago⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had my Morpheus8 treatment at Shumilala’s Clinic in Upminster, and I honestly can’t express how amazing the whole experience was. From the moment I arrived. Laraib, Rabia, and Nazia made me feel so welcome and comfortable. all of the aesthetician are so kind, professional, and genuinely care about their clients. The aestheticians explained everything about the treatment so clearly and made sure I felt relaxed throughout. There knowledge and gentle approach instantly put me at ease. The Morpheus8 results have been incredible my skin feels and looks tighter. What really touched me was how warm and supportive the whole team was. You can tell they all love what they do and take real pride in helping people feel confident and happy in their own skin. I’m so grateful to Shumilala’s it’s was such a wonderful experience. If you’re thinking about getting any treatments done, I couldn’t recommend Shumaila’s Clinic in Upminster enough it truly is the best place ever!

846 days agoAs my first time getting morpheus8 with prp , I have to say the entire staff was so warm and inviting that I was barely nervous at all. I felt so cared for in the most gentlest way, which put my fears to rest as a new client start her new skin care journey. I can say enough about this outstanding medical group, other than, it’s a place you can trust and really feel good about yourself! I’m so looking forward to my treatments for acne scars and skin tightening treatments and more with these incredible and friendly staff Thank you

962 days agoI recently had the pleasure of experiencing anti-aging treatments with Nazia, and I must say it was a wonderful journey from start to finish. The hospitality and service provided were exceptional, making me thrilled to be a part of this clinic. Nazia's expertise and the overall atmosphere made me comfortable, and the added benefit of discounts for booking multiple sessions at once was a fantastic bonus. I am excited to continue my sessions with confidence. Sandra Bell

At Shumaila’s, we understand that every double chin is unique, requiring personalised treatment approaches.
Our comprehensive range of solutions allows us to recommend the most appropriate option based on your specific concerns, lifestyle, and desired outcomes.
Non Surgical
First-Line Treatments

HiFu (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
HiFu is a revolutionary non-invasive treatment for both face and body. It delivers focused ultrasound energy deep into the skin’s foundational layers, creating thermal coagulation points that trigger a powerful collagen-building response. This tightens and lifts the skin from the inside out.
Ideal for
Mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, brow, neck, and body areas like stomach
Results
A noticeable lifting and firming effect that develops over 2-3 months.
Duration
Results can last for over a year

RF Microneedling
This treatment combines the benefits of microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. Fine needles create micro-channels in the skin, while the RF energy heats the deeper layers. This dual action stimulates a powerful healing and collagen-remodelling process, improving both skin texture and firmness.
Ideal for
Improving crepey skin texture, fine lines, and mild sagging on the face and body
Results
Smoother, firmer skin that improves over a course of treatments
Management
A series of 3-4 sessions is typically recommended
Progressive Treatments
Advanced & Combination

Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is the next generation of RF Microneedling. It delivers radiofrequency energy deeper into the skin than any other device, allowing for significant subdermal adipose remodelling. It not only tightens skin but can also contour underlying fat, making it a powerful tool for sculpting areas like the jowls and abdomen.
Ideal for
Moderate loose skin, jowling, and areas needing both tightening and contouring
Results
Significant improvements in skin tightness and contour, with results continuing to develop for up to 3 months
Management
1-3 sessions are often recommended for optimal results.

PDO Thread Lift
A PDO Thread Lift is a minimally invasive procedure that provides an immediate lift while also stimulating long-term collagen production. Absorbable threads are strategically placed under the skin to lift and support sagging tissue, making it an excellent option for a non-surgical saggy neck treatment or brow lift.
Ideal for
Lifting sagging jowls, cheeks, and neck tissue
Results
An immediate visible lift, with further skin tightening over the following months
Duration
Results can last from 12 to 18 months
Definitive Treatments
Surgical Solutions

Face and Neck Lift
For those with significant facial and neck laxity, a surgical Face and Neck Lift offers the most dramatic and long-lasting results. Our expert surgeons remove excess skin, tighten the underlying muscles (the SMAS layer), and re-drape the skin for a naturally rejuvenated and refreshed appearance.
Ideal for
Advanced jowling, deep nasolabial folds, and significant sagging skin on the neck
Results
A transformative and natural-looking rejuvenation
Duration
Permanent, though the natural ageing process will continue.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A Tummy Tuck is the definitive solution for loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy on the abdomen. The procedure removes excess, sagging skin and can be combined with liposuction to remove stubborn fat. Crucially, it also repairs any separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti).
Ideal for
Significant loose skin on the stomach, often combined with muscle separation
Results
A dramatically flatter, firmer, and more contoured abdomen
Duration
Permanent, assuming a stable weight is maintained

Frequent Asked Questions
The cost varies widely depending on the technology used and the area being treated. Non-invasive treatments like HiFu or RF Microneedling will have a different price point than a surgical procedure like a Face Lift. We provide a full, transparent quote during your comprehensive consultation, where we will outline all your options.
Yes, for mild to moderate laxity, non-surgical treatments like Morpheus8, HiFu, and PDO Threads can produce excellent results. They work by stimulating your body’s own collagen production to firm the skin over time. However, for significant amounts of excess skin, surgery remains the most effective option.
It depends on the severity. For mild postpartum or weight loss laxity, Morpheus8 or HiFu Body can be very effective skin tightening treatments for stomach concerns. If there is a significant amount of overhanging skin, a Tummy Tuck is the gold-standard solution.
For a non-surgical approach, a combination of Morpheus8 to tighten the lower face and jowls, and a PDO Thread Lift for the neck and brows, can create a powerful lifting effect. For a permanent and more dramatic result, a surgical Face and Neck Lift is the definitive option.
Non-surgical treatments like HiFu have no downtime. RF Microneedling and Morpheus8 may have 1-3 days of mild redness and swelling. A PDO Thread Lift may have a few days of social downtime. Surgical procedures require the most significant recovery, typically 2-3 weeks off work.
All our non-surgical skin tightening treatments are designed to boost your natural collagen for loose skin. You can support these results by maintaining a healthy diet rich in antioxidants, staying hydrated, protecting your skin from the sun, and using medical-grade skincare recommended by our clinicians.
