As we age, the collagen and elastin that keep our skin firm gradually decline and skin that once bounced back begins to soften and sag. The jawline blurs, cheeks lose their lift, and the neck and brow area lose definition.
Surgery is no longer the only answer. La Belle Clinic offers Melbourne’s leading non-surgical lifting technologies, which stimulate your own collagen to lift, tighten and firm the skin naturally with little to no downtime.
Understanding Skin Sagging
Skin sagging (skin laxity) occurs when the skin’s support network of collagen and elastin weakens. From our late 20s, collagen production declines every year, and this accelerates through our 40s and beyond.
Common Causes
- Natural ageing: progressive loss of collagen, elastin and facial volume
- Sun exposure: UV radiation is the biggest accelerator of collagen breakdown
- Weight fluctuations: significant weight changes stretch the skin
- Genetics and lifestyle: smoking, stress and sleep quality all play a role
How We Treat Skin Sagging
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Modern ultrasound and radiofrequency technologies stimulate collagen deep within the skin, producing a genuine lifting and firming effect. Results are gradual, natural and continue improving for months after treatment.
It depends on your degree of laxity, your goals and your downtime preferences. At your consultation we assess your skin and recommend the technology or combination that will give you the best result.
Collagen-stimulating treatments typically deliver results lasting 12-24 months. A maintenance session once a year helps sustain the lift.
Most clients feel warmth and tingling during treatment, with brief moments of deeper sensation during ultrasound treatments. No anaesthesia is required, and you can return to normal activities immediately.
