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.

Non Surgical

First-Line Treatments

  • HIFU

    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 Microneeedling

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
