Concern

Sagging skin

Skin loosens when collagen breaks down faster than it is rebuilt; Emface, Exion, and PDO threads firm and lift without surgery.

Sagging skin

How we think about it

Skin sags when the collagen and elastin that hold it firm break down faster than the body rebuilds them. Add gravity, sun, and the volume loss happening underneath, and the jawline softens, the neck loosens, and the brow sits lower. On the body the same process shows on the abdomen, arms, and above the knees.

Firming without surgery means prompting the skin to make new collagen and, on the face, working the muscles that hold it up. Emface does both in a needle-free session. Exion uses radiofrequency and ultrasound for face and body. PDO threads give a mechanical lift. Dr. Olivo decides at consultation which is realistic for the laxity you have.

Sagging skin, answered

Can a device really lift skin?

Energy devices tighten by building collagen and, in Emface's case, toning the lifting muscles of the face. The change is gradual and modest compared with surgery. Dr. Olivo will tell you honestly if you are past what a device can do.

How many sessions does tightening take?

Most protocols are a short series, often four sessions, followed by maintenance. The exact number depends on the device and the area.
