Sagging

Eliminate nasolabial folds and sagging around the eyes

Sagging Concerns

Sagging refers to a condition where skin that has lost its firmness droops downward. Furthermore, noticeable sagging around the eyes, along the jawline, in the nasolabial folds, and on the neck can make your entire face look tired and aged.

Sagging is not simply a problem with the skin alone. It results from a combination of factors, including reduced skin elasticity, sagging subcutaneous fat, weakened facial muscles, and puffiness. Therefore, if you notice changes such as “I’m concerned about my nasolabial folds” “my jawline has become blurred,” or “I’ve noticed sagging around my mouth,” it is important to take early action.

For those with these concerns

  • Concerned about sagging along the jawline.
  • Concerned about facial fat or sagging after dieting.
  • My nasolabial folds have become more noticeable.
  • I’m concerned about wrinkles and sagging around my eyes.
  • I’m concerned about the jowls on the sides of my mouth.
  • I look like I have a double chin.
  • The lower half of my face looks heavy in photos.
  • I want a natural tightening treatment without surgery.

Treatments and Features

Treatments and Features

Enhance Firmness and Elasticity with Rejuvenation

Rejuvenation is a treatment that uses RF (radiofrequency) or medical lasers to deliver heat to the dermis, promoting collagen production and skin rejuvenation. By increasing collagen and rejuvenating the skin, it leads to a natural, youthful glow. The use of needles minimizes damage to the epidermis, allowing for treatment with virtually no downtime.

At our clinic, we propose treatments tailored to your specific condition, addressing multiple aspects such as tightening, supporting, and enhancing the skin’s natural elasticity.

Types and Causes of Sagging

Skin Sagging

As collagen and elastin decrease due to aging and UV exposure, the skin’s elasticity declines, weakening its ability to support itself. In the relatively early stages, changes begin with a loss of firmness and a feeling of thinning or sagging.

Fat Sagging

As subcutaneous fat enlarges due to age-related declines in metabolic function and sags downward under the influence of gravity, it leads to nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and sagging of the neck. This type is particularly noticeable as sagging under the cheeks, around the mouth, and under the chin.

Firmness, Radiance

Muscle Weakness

As we age, facial muscles weaken and can no longer adequately support the skin and subcutaneous fat. This weakening of the underlying support causes the entire face to appear saggy.

Sagging Caused by Swelling

Fluid accumulates in the fat layer, causing the fat to expand and resulting in sagging. This can distort the jawline and cause puffiness around the eyes. When swelling compounds the natural sagging, the face can appear even heavier.

Treatment Methods

Silfirm X

Sylfirm X

This is a fractional microneedle RF treatment device that inserts ultra-fine needles into the skin and emits RF waves. The skin, temporarily damaged by the RF waves and needles, stimulates collagen production as it heals the wounds. This enhances skin firmness and elasticity, improving wrinkles, sagging, and enlarged pores. Since it can be applied to the eyelids and under-eye area, it is also recommended for those concerned about fine lines and sagging around the eyes.

Features
  • Treatment suited to Japanese skin types
  • Simultaneously improves skin texture
  • Minimal skin damage due to precise targeting of specific areas
  • Can be applied around the eyes
  • Needle depth and treatment intensity can be adjusted to suit your skin condition
Benefits
  • Treatment is possible even if you have melasma
  • Anesthesia is used, so there is little pain during the procedure
  • Virtually no downtime
  • Effective as a comprehensive anti-aging treatment
Disadvantages
  • Temporary redness or swelling may occur
  • A prickling sensation may be felt during the procedure
Treatment Time

Approx. 60 minutes (including anesthesia time)

Voluma

Volnewmer

This is the latest 6.78 MHz monopolar high-frequency RF treatment device designed to address sagging and achieve a more defined facial contour. It primarily applies heat to the dermis and subcutaneous tissue to tighten the skin, correcting the laxity in the dermis that causes sagging. The thermal stimulation also promotes collagen production and can target the fat layer within the subcutaneous tissue. It effectively addresses double chins, jowls, and sagging along the jawline.

Features
  • Promotes the production of collagen and elastin
  • Delivers energy to the skin surface without using scalpels or needles
  • Minimizes damage to the skin surface with a cooling system
  • Can be applied to detailed areas such as the entire face and neck
Benefits
  • Minimal pain during treatment
  • No visible marks left after treatment
  • Suitable for a wide range of areas, including the face (cheeks, jawline) and neck
  • Leads to improved skin texture through increased collagen production
  • Virtually no downtime
Disadvantages
  • Mild swelling or redness may occur after treatment
  • A sensation of heat may be felt during treatment
  • In rare cases, an allergic reaction may occur
Treatment Time

Approximately 60 minutes (including anesthesia time)
