Skin laxity refers to the loss of firmness and elasticity of the skin, resulting in
sagging or less-defined facial contours. It occurs with age as collagen, elastin and
hyaluronic acid decline, along with changes in facial fat and bone structure. Sun
exposure, weight fluctuations and lifestyle factors can further contribute.
Skin tightening treatment depends on the degree and location of laxity, as well as whether there is associated volume loss.
Uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen and provide gradual tightening and lifting of mild-to-moderate skin laxity.
Uses controlled radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper skin layers and stimulate collagen remodeling, improving firmness and skin texture.
Combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and improve skin tightening, texture and fine lines.
Treatments such as Sculptra stimulate new collagen formation and can improve skin firmness and age-related volume changes.
A high-concentration hyaluronic acid treatment that improves hydration and supports skin remodeling, making it useful for early laxity and crepey skin.
In selected patients, restoring strategic volume can improve facial support and definition, particularly around the cheeks, temples and jawline.
For more comprehensive rejuvenation, treatments may be combined—for example,
HIFU/RF for laxity + regenerative injectables for skin quality + fillers or
biostimulators for structural volume loss.
Not all sagging is caused by loose skin. Collagen loss, facial fat redistribution,
volume loss and changes in facial structure can all contribute to an aged or sagging appearance.
At Eternis, treatment is selected based on the underlying cause rather than simply trying to “tighten” the skin. The goal is gradual, natural-looking improvement in firmness, contours and facial definition.
Skin tightening treatments use energy-based technologies such as radiofrequency (RF) and focused ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver controlled heat to targeted layers of the skin. This can encourage collagen and elastin remodeling, helping improve skin firmness, smoothness and overall definition gradually over time
Skin tightening treatments can help improve mild to moderate skin laxity on areas such as the face, neck and body without incisions or surgical scars. They may provide a firmer, more lifted appearance with minimal downtime, allowing most people to return to their usual activities shortly after treatment.
Skin tightening procedures are generally well tolerated, with most people experiencing only mild warmth, tingling or a gentle heating sensation during treatment. The level of comfort can vary depending on the technology used and the individual’s sensitivity, but significant pain is not typically expected.
The duration of a skin tightening session varies based on the treatment area and technology used. In general, a session may take around 30 to 90 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
The number of sessions varies based on your skin’s condition, treatment area and the technology being used. Some treatments may show improvement after a single session, while others may require a series of treatments for optimal results. Your dermatologist will recommend a personalised treatment schedule based on your skin and desired outcome.
The timing of visible improvement can vary depending on the treatment used and individual skin response. Some people may notice an initial improvement soon after the procedure, while more noticeable results typically develop gradually as collagen remodeling continues over the following weeks and months.
