Let's Talk Sagging Skin (and How to Get Rid of It)

Let's Talk Sagging Skin (and How to Get Rid of It)

It can be quite frustrating to have loose skin. Fortunately, there are numerous treatments available to tighten, lift, and rejuvenate sagging skin, no matter where it shows up.

At Sasaki Advanced Aesthetic Medical Center, our services provide the most effective options available for achieving the toned, tightened skin you desire. Our director, nationally recognized, triple-board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gordon Sasaki, covered all the bases when he founded his multi-tiered practice in Pasadena, California.

That means we can offer a range of optimal solutions, from noninvasive to minimally invasive, to surgical fixes for loose or sagging skin.  

How to get rid of sagging skin

The Sasaki response to loose or sagging skin starts with a thorough evaluation that helps us pinpoint the underlying factors affecting your skin’s health and firmness.

Based on those results, your strategy may include:

Surgical solutions for long-lasting, dramatic results

For a more dramatic transformation, surgical options are still the gold standard. Procedures, such as facelifts, neck lifts, and body lifts (after significant weight loss), can remove excess skin and reposition underlying tissue structures to restore a youthful contour.

The results are long-lasting and transformative, though they do require some downtime and recovery. Dr. Sasaki customizes each surgery to your specific needs, ensuring natural-looking results that enhance—not alter—your appearance.

Because skin continues to age, even after a lift, we also provide post-surgical, personalized skin care regimens that help maintain a youthful appearance.  

Nonsurgical treatments for mild-to-moderate changes

If you aren’t quite ready for surgery (or don’t need it yet), we offer cutting-edge nonsurgical treatments designed to lift and tighten skin.

Each treatment has been investigated, in some cases developed, by Dr. Sasaki and has received his stamp of approval. Here are a few of our most popular options:

Radiofrequency microneedling (RF microneedling)

This skin-firming therapy combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and other secretomes (cellular proteins) to stimulate deep collagen production, resulting in tightened skin over time. It’s great for the face, neck, and even knees or arms.

As an investigator and consultant for this therapy, Dr. Sasaki also recommends its application for treating scars, acne pits, and striae (stretch marks) with significant results.

Ultherapy®

This painless in-office procedure uses thermal energy from focused ultrasound waves to lift and firm skin on the face, neck, and décolletage. That thermal energy contracts collagen fibers, tightening and lifting sagging skin.

We like to think of it as a “nonsurgical facelift.” Dr. Sasaki is a lead investigator and consultant for Ultherapy and is internationally recognized for his expertise in skin and subdermal skin tightening with this innovative therapy.

Injectables and fillers

Though not true skin-tighteners, injectables like Botox® and dermal fillers can subtly lift and restore lost volume, especially around the cheeks, jawline, and eyes.

Dr. Sasaki may also suggest trying nonsurgical treatments to address scarring, sun spots, dullness, and other concerns that affect your skin’s health and appearance.

Which option is right for you?

Choosing the best treatment depends on your goals, skin condition, and how quickly you want to see results. During your consultation, Dr. Sasaki and our team help you explore your options and develop a personalized plan that fits your lifestyle and budget.

Whether you want a subtle refresh, a complete transformation, or tips for maintaining youthful skin, our team is here to help you look (and feel) your best.
