Sagging & Laxity
Skin that has lost its firmness and structure, visible as jowling, drooping, and a softening of the facial contour
Face Concern
When Skin Loses Its Hold
Facial sagging is one of the most common signs of ageing. It shows up as a softening of the jawline, a descent of the cheeks, deepening folds around the mouth, and a face that looks heavier than it once did.
The underlying causes are structural: collagen loss, fat pad descent, and bone resorption all reduce the scaffolding that holds the face up. We assess each customer individually before recommending any treatment.
What You Might Notice
Jowling or sagging along the jawline and lower cheeks
A loss of the sharp jaw-to-neck angle
Skin that feels less firm and more prone to folding when touched
Deep nasolabial folds
Brow heaviness or a drop in the brow tail
A general flattening or descent of the mid-face
Why It Happens
Collagen and Elastin Loss
From the mid-twenties, collagen production slows. As the skin's structural framework weakens, it becomes less able to hold itself against gravity.
Fat Pad Descent
Facial fat compartments that once lifted the cheeks and mid-face descend with age, pulling the overlying skin downward.
Bone Resorption
The facial skeleton loses volume and projection over decades, reducing the bony scaffold on which soft tissue relies.
Gravitational Load
The cumulative effect of gravity on soft tissue over years accelerates visible sagging in the mid and lower face.
Repeated Facial Expression
Years of expressions etch lines into the skin. As collagen declines, those creases no longer fully spring back.
UV Damage and Photoageing
Cumulative sun exposure accelerates the breakdown of collagen and elastin, compounding the structural changes of intrinsic ageing.
