Whether it’s from sudden weight loss or just gravity’s never-ending pull, sagging skin can detract from your overall appearance.

Most people know about facelifts, which offer a surgical solution to loose skin. But that’s not your only option.

At Skintherapy, we have three, non-surgical go-to procedures that produce surgical results. Those three procedures are Ultherapy, Laser Genesis, and VI Peel. Which one will be right for you? That will depend on the severity of the issue, and your budget and time available for treatment. These are all things to discuss with a skin care professional at an appointment.

Ultherapy

Ultherapy is the first FDA-approved non-surgical procedure to lift and tighten skin on the neck, under the chin and on the eyebrow. In just a single treatment, Ultherapy can address sagging skin.

Ultherapy uses time-tested and safe ultrasound technology to address sagging skin on the brow, chin, neck and chest. There is zero downtime with this procedure.

Laser Genesis

Laser Genesis is excellent at collagen boosting, which means it can help address sagging skin. It costs less than surgery but can give surgical results especially to loose skin under the chin and on the neck.

Multiple treatments are recommended with this procedure, and subtle results will occur with each treatment.

An ideal candidate is someone who is in shape but has some sagging skin, like a postpartum woman who has gotten in shape after pregnancy but still has a wrinkly stomach. Laser Genesis can also be used around the eyes to give a lift.

VI Peels

The VI Peel, a chemical peel, stimulates collagen and elastin, which firms skin over time. In many cases, a singular treatment can produce the desired lifting results. The VI Peel is great for most skin types too.

The only downside to this procedure is that it can take a week before full results are realized.
