Treating facial sagging

What are the causes and solutions to facial sagging? Maison Lutétia offers various aesthetic medicine treatments to address it.

What is facial sagging?

Skin sagging is a phenomenon related to aging skin, affecting both men and women. When the skin loses its firmness, the face appears tired and marked by time.

As time passes, facial sagging becomes apparent. As the skin loses its firmness, it sags and is pulled downwards. This phenomenon is due to the decrease in skin reserves of collagen and elastic fibers, whose production slows down over the years. Collagen plays a crucial role in resisting stretching and tension, ensuring skin firmness. Fibroblasts, on the other hand, provide elasticity and suppleness to the skin. Additionally, cellular renewal slows down, gradually deteriorating skin quality. Over time, facial volumes diminish, and the skin becomes looser, resulting in less defined facial contours, flatter cheekbones, and a less defined jawline.

Which areas are affected?

  • The facial contour / jowls
  • The neck
  • The brow line
  • Under-eye circles
  • Cheekbones
  • Upper and lower eyelids
  • The décolleté
What are the causes of facial skin sagging?

A malfunction of the skin's properties

  • The decrease in elastin makes the skin less flexible.
  • The decrease in collagen makes the skin less resistant.
  • The decrease in hyaluronic acid leads to a loss of volume and gradual dehydration of the skin. It can no longer fulfill its role as a skin cushion.
  • The skin's vascular system becomes less effective: the dermis, rich in vessels, gradually loses its supportive capacity.

When the skin loses its elasticity and firmness, it eventually sags and droops. The natural effect of gravity and muscle contractions only accentuate this process.

The process of skin aging

  • Bone resorption makes the face angular, a sign of skin aging.
  • Loss of skin elasticity gives the face a tired appearance and leads to sagging in key areas such as the jowls.
  • Fat loss reveals the facial skeleton.
  • The appearance of wrinkles and fine lines marks the skin.

Aggravating factors such as smoking and sun exposure accentuate the phenomenon of skin sagging.

Weight loss

Excess loose skin tends to sag.

Menopause

Hormonal changes related to menopause lead to quicker dehydration of the skin and its sagging.

The treatments at La Maison Lutétia for facial sagging

SoftLift

How it works

The SoftLift tightens and lifts facial skin using focused ultrasound, providing a mini face-lifting effect. The powerful HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) pulses from the device stimulate muscle tonicity and collagen production, as well as induce fat reduction. Therefore, this treatment firms loose skin and improves tissue tension, all without injections.

Session procedure

Step 1: The doctor analyzes your skin, listens to your aesthetic concerns, and checks for contraindications.

Step 2: They mark the areas to be treated using a skin marker.

Step 3: They pass the handpiece over the treatment areas. Each impact triggers skin contraction on the surface and in depth.

The session lasts between 30 minutes and 1 hour.

Number of sessions

One to two sessions spaced one month apart, with optimal results visible three months after the procedure.

Results

The skin is tightened, firmer, and the rejuvenating effect brightens the face.

Absorbable thread lift

Operation and attributes

Tensor threads allow for medical contouring, tightening of tissues, restoring beautiful skin volumes, with immediate skin lifting after the procedure, and firming over time. Tensor threads are inserted under the skin to lift relaxed tissues and stimulate local collagen synthesis as the threads gradually dissolve.

Session procedure

Step 1: The doctor analyzes your skin, listens to your aesthetic concerns, and rules out any contraindications.

Step 2: They make markings to indicate entry points and the path to follow under the skin. Betadine is applied, and a sterile field is prepared.

Step 3: Local anesthesia is administered before placing the absorbable tensor threads.

The duration of a session varies between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the area to be treated and the number of threads to be placed!

Number of sessions

The results are immediately noticeable after one session.

Results

The skin is lifted, the tissues are tightened, and the facial contours are redefined.

Microneedling Radiofrequency

Operation and attributes

Microneedling Radiofrequency densifies the skin, improves its elasticity, and addresses facial sagging. This treatment combines microneedling with radiofrequency to induce coagulation without side effects. Each pass of the handpiece treats a different layer of the dermis, triggering the skin's repair process by stimulating collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production.

Session procedure

Step 1: The doctor analyzes your skin, listens to your aesthetic concerns, and rules out any contraindications.

Step 2: The doctor then sets up the device based on the patient's skin type, the number of passes required, the depth, and the appropriate energy for the indication.

Step 3: They perform the required number of passes using the handpiece, tailored to your skin's needs.

The session lasts about thirty minutes depending on the size of the area being treated.

Number of sessions

A protocol of 3 sessions is recommended for facial rejuvenation.

Results

The skin becomes firmer, gains more tone, tightens, and lifts as the sessions progress.

Resurfacing laser

Operation and attributes

The resurfacing laser allows for an overall improvement of the skin, enhancing firmness and elasticity. The micro-injuries caused by fractional laser stimulate a skin healing process and boost collagen and elastin production, which are responsible for skin firmness. By activating neocollagenesis, the skin is remodeled effectively.

Session procedure

Step 1: The doctor analyzes your skin, listens to your aesthetic concerns, and rules out any contraindications.

Step 2: An anesthetic cream, prescribed and recommended, should be applied at home 30 minutes before the session.

Step 3: Your skin is cleansed before proceeding with the laser shots.

The session lasts about thirty minutes depending on the size of the area being treated.

Number of session

A protocol of 3 sessions is recommended for comprehensive anti-aging treatment.

Results

Remodeled, the skin regains firmness and suppleness, with a radiant glow and diminished wrinkles!
