Sagging Skin Treatment

          Sagging Skin Treatment in Toronto

          Feeling comfortable in your skin might seem difficult when it feels like your skin doesn't fit anymore. Almost like a pair of jeans that once hugged you snugly but now seems stretched out. You're not alone.

          "Saggy" is a word nobody likes to hear. While we often link it to aging or weight changes, there's much more to the story. Having loose skin is completely normal and part of being human, even though it can sometimes make us feel less confident.

          DLK on Avenue specializes in helping people feel good about their skin again. We focus on non-surgical skin tightening, such as RF Microneedling, thread lifts, and other advanced procedures.

          How the Sagging Skin Treatment Program Works

          If you've noticed your skin isn't as firm as it used to be - whether on your face, neck, or body - you've come to the right place. At DLK on Avenue, we believe in doing as much as possible without surgery. Here's how our program works:

          1
          Step 1: Initial Consultation

          We start with a thorough skin check and chat about your goals. This is more than just looking at your skin. We conduct a complete medical assessment to make sure all treatments will be safe and effective for you.

          Step 2: Personalized Treatment Plan

          Your skin is unique, and so is our approach to treating it. We create a custom plan that fits your specific needs. Not a one-size-fits-all solution that might work for someone else but not for you.

          Step 3: Treatment Options

          Step 4: Post-Treatment Care

          You're only a step away from a new life!

          What Is Sagging Skin?

          Before we talk about lasers and treatments, it would help to understand what we're dealing with.

          Sagging skin, or skin laxity, occurs when the skin loses its bounce. Think of it like a rubber band stretched too many times. It simply doesn't snap back like it used to. This condition can happen because of age, sun damage, or other factors.

          Note that loose skin is not to be confused with cellulite, which looks like dimples in your skin. Sagging skin simply hangs loose, most often on your face, neck, arms, or belly.

          Causes of Sagging Skin

          Most people think aging is the only cause of loose skin. While it's true that getting older plays a significant role, there are other contributing factors.

          Here are the main reasons why skin starts to sag, including aging:

          • Aging: As you get older, your body produces less collagen and elastin. These proteins maintain skin firmness, and their decrease leads to drooping.
          • Sun Exposure: Excessive UV exposure damages skin fibres and proteins. This damage accelerates skin sagging and can occur even in younger people.
          • Weight Loss: Rapid weight loss often results in excess loose skin. That is especially true after significant changes in body size.
          • Pregnancy: Just like with weight loss, your skin stretches during pregnancy and sometimes needs help bouncing back.
          • Genetics: The degree of skin laxity is something that can be passed down genetically.

          Remember that no matter why your skin is sagging, there are ways to help it. The cause matters less than finding the right solution for you.

          Symptoms and Causes of Sagging Skin

          When patients visit DLK on Avenue with sagging skin concerns, spotting the signs is straightforward. The main thing you'll notice is loose, drooping skin, especially around your face, neck, arms, or stomach.

          The root causes often come down to losing those important skin proteins - collagen and elastin. When they break down due to sun damage, aging, or big weight changes, your skin starts to sag.

           

          How to Get Rid of Sagging Skin: Top Treatments

          Don't lose hope - firm skin might be closer than you think! Here are our most effective treatments for skin tightening in Toronto:

          RF Microneedling

          RF Microneedling for sagging skin is a treatment that uses tiny needles combined with radiofrequency energy to wake up your skin's natural collagen production. The treatment takes about an hour, and while you might feel a bit of discomfort, it's very manageable. Your skin may look slightly red for 2-3 days afterward, like a mild sunburn.

          For best results, we recommend 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. With each session, you'll notice firmer, tighter skin.

          Thread Lift

          While RF Microneedling helps many skin concerns, thread lifts are specifically designed for sagging skin. At DLK on Avenue, we use Instalift, a specialized thread-lifting system.

          The non-invasive face lift involves placing dissolvable threads under the skin to create immediate lift and support. These threads provide both instant results and long-term benefits through collagen stimulation.

          The main advantages are the immediate lifting effect and long-lasting results. Recovery takes 7-10 days, but results last up to 2 years.

          PRP Therapy

          Platelet-rich plasma therapy uses your body's natural healing powers. We take a small amount of your blood, concentrate the growth factors, and put them back where your skin needs help. There's no downtime, and you'll see results right away.

          We suggest coming back every 6 months to keep your results looking fresh.

          Skinboosters

          Finally, we offer an injectable treatment that revitalizes your skin from within. We use Restylane® Skinboosters™ to provide deep hydration while improving skin laxity. This quick 30-minute procedure offers the dual benefit of hydrating your skin and improving firmness. You may experience minimal bruising, and results last 3-6 months.

           

          Additional Tips to Prevent Sagging Skin

          Whether you're dealing with loose skin now or want to prevent it, here are some helpful tips to hit the brakes on the loss of elasticity:

          • Sun Protection: Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, including on cloudy days. UV rays contribute significantly to skin aging and loss of firmness.
          • Healthy Diet: Eat foods rich in protein and vitamins to help your skin stay strong.
          • Hydration: Keep your water bottle handy - well-hydrated skin is more elastic.
          • Exercise: While dramatic weight loss can cause sagging, building muscle can help support your skin.
          • Sleep Well: Good sleep helps your skin repair itself naturally.
          • Gentle Skincare: Use products that support your skin's health without harsh ingredients.
