Saggy Skin

Saggy skin is a common concern as we age. This condition occurs when the skin loses its elasticity and firmness, leading to a loose and droopy appearance. Factors contributing to saggy skin include aging, significant weight loss, sun exposure, smoking, and genetic predisposition. Fortunately, Kerin Medspa & Laser Center in Tuckahoe offers a variety of non-surgical treatments to help tighten and rejuvenate your skin.

Aging: Over time, the skin’s collagen and elastin fibers, which provide structure and elasticity, degrade. This natural process results in thinner skin that sags more easily.

Weight Loss: Rapid or significant weight loss can leave excess, loose skin, particularly in overweight individuals who have been overweight for a long period.

Sun Exposure: Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun break down collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, accelerating the aging process and contributing to sagging.

Smoking: Nicotine and other chemicals in cigarettes damage collagen and elastin, causing the skin to sag prematurely.

Genetics: Some people are more predisposed to sagging skin due to their genetic makeup, which influences skin type and elasticity.

Kerin Medspa & Laser Center offers non-surgical treatments for saggy skin. These procedures tighten and rejuvenate the skin without the need for invasive surgery.

• Botox®: Commonly known for its wrinkle-reducing effects, Botox® can also provide a subtle lift by relaxing the muscles that cause sagging.
• Dysport®: Similar to Botox®, Dysport® is another neuromodulator that helps smooth and lift the skin by targeting muscle contractions.
• Jeuveau®: Another neuromodulator, Jeuveau®, works similarly to Botox® and Dysport®, temporarily improving the appearance of saggy skin.
• Botox® Neck Lift: This specialized application of Botox® targets the neck muscles, reducing the appearance of saggy skin and creating a more youthful contour.
• Dermal Fillers: Fillers like Juvederm® and Restylane® add volume to the skin, lifting and smoothing areas affected by sagging.
• Morpheus8: This advanced treatment combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin, resulting in tighter, firmer skin.
• Vampire Facelift®: This treatment uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from your blood to promote collagen production and rejuvenation.
• Microneedling: By creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, microneedling stimulates the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production.
• Hydrafacial®: This multi-step facial treatment cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin, improving its overall tone and texture.
• PicoFacial: Using advanced laser technology, PicoFacial targets pigmentation and promotes collagen remodeling for firmer, more youthful skin.
• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): PRP therapy involves injecting your platelet-rich plasma into the skin to stimulate collagen production and enhance skin elasticity.
• PicoSure®: This laser treatment uses ultra-short pulses to break down pigmented cells and stimulate collagen, helping to tighten and rejuvenate the skin.
• Renuvion® J-Plasma: Combining helium plasma with radiofrequency energy, Renuvion® J-Plasma tightens the skin by heating and contracting the tissue beneath the surface.

Non-surgical skin tightening treatments offer advantages for those seeking to enhance their appearance without the risks and downtime associated with surgery. These benefits include:
