How To Tighten Saggy Skin On The Face

The problem with neck and face saggy skin

Do you find yourself gently pulling back skin on your face or neck when you look in the mirror and hoping it would sit differently? Sagging skin is a natural part of the aging process, but it doesn’t make it any easier when you start to see sagginess around your neck or jawline. Botox or A surgical lift, such as a facelift or eyelid surgery, will immediately tone and firm the skin, but these surgical treatments for loose skin aren’t for everyone. Thankfully, there are several less invasive skin lifting options too. We’ve outlined some other transformative options to tighten loose skin without surgery.

What causes saggy skin?

During the natural aging process both elastin and collagen production decline. Since our body produces less collagen, our skin looks less firm and toned. In addition, the middle layer of the skin, the dermis, has a more difficult time retaining moisture. Dryness and a thin texture are two qualities that result in a saggy skin appearance. This loss in collagen production and thinning of the skin contributes to a change in skin texture and firmness, leading to a saggy appearance.

Premature aging and lax skin can also be caused by UV exposure from too much time in the sun. Lastly, pollutants in the environment like cigarette smoke or a poor diet such as excessive drinking or over consumption can contribute to sagginess, according to Healthline. 

A natural way to tighten your skin is stimulating your collagen and elastin to produce again.

Here are some procedures which can get rid of saggy skin in the face:

1. Microneedling
2. Microcurrent
3. Radio frequency
4. Facial Massage
5. Skin care products

1. Microneedling

Microneedling is a dermaroller procedure that uses small needles to prick the skin. The purpose of treatment is to generate new collagen and skin tissue for smoother, firmer, more toned skin. 

The technique involves using multiple tiny, sterile needles to puncture the skin and cause physical trauma.

This trauma prompts the derma, a deeper layer of skin, to rebuild.

Microneedling may help address many skin-related complaints, including:

• wrinkles
• scarring
• acne (https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/107146)
• alopecia
• skin pigmentation issues
• stretch marks
• Rosacea (https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/160281)
• loose skin, such as after weight loss or liposuction

It may also help rejuvenate the skin.

In addition, professionals can use microneedling to deposit medication, such as topical tretinoin or vitamin C, deeper into the skin. This can boost the treatment of a variety of issues, including acne scarring.

Recommend 3 monthly treatments.

2. Microcurrent

The microcurrent encourages the production of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) which leads to the creation and stimulation of structural proteins like elastin and collagen. Collagen is the main protein that your body uses to build muscle. 

Hence why these facial functions as a workout for your face.

Microcurrent facials tighten and smooth the muscles and connective tissues in the face by increasing cellular activity, and have been shown to reduce wrinkles, mostly around the forehead area.

Recommend at least 4 treatments once a week.

3. Radio frequency

Radiofrequency comes to the rescue, not only tightening skin, as mentioned earlier, but also restoring contours to create toned, firm, youthful-looking skin. This firming action makes RF especially well-suited to the chin, neck, and jawline. 

It can also be used to tighten sags between the nose and mouth.

Recommend at least 4 treatments.

4. Facial Massage

Aside from surgical and other medical procedures, you can add facial exercises and massage for a non-surgical face lift effect. Facial massage can give a lifted and toned appearance because the more you exercise your facial muscles, the stronger they become. Once you’ve cleansed your face, consider following the facial massage steps outlined in the image below. 

Recommend every day.

5. Skin care products

Create a Skin routine, in the morning you  clean your face, apply a serum and SPF. Before bedtime, Clean your skin,   exfoliate 2x week and use a night cream, to stimulate your collagen.
