Sagging skin is one of the most common age-related concerns we see at our Chorley clinic. Whether it’s softening around the jawline, drooping cheeks, jowls forming, or skin that no longer looks firm and lifted, clients often worry they look tired or older than they feel.
The good news is that sagging skin can be significantly improved with the right combination of treatments — and you do not need surgery to see a noticeable lift.
Why Skin Starts to Sag
Skin loses firmness for several reasons:
- Collagen and elastin decline
- Fat pads shifting or shrinking
- Loss of bone support in the face
- Sun exposure
- Weight loss
- Hormonal changes
- Lifestyle and stress
This means sagging skin is rarely caused by just one issue — which is why a multi-plane treatment approach achieves the best results.
Regular Facials and the Skin Gym: Building a Healthy Foundation
For clients wanting long-term improvement, we recommend joining our Skin Gym or committing to regular facials. These treatments support skin health, encourage cell turnover and improve collagen production on a consistent basis.
Healthy, professionally maintained skin responds dramatically better to all other treatments.
Treating Sagging Skin on Multiple Planes
Sagging skin isn’t just a surface problem — it’s structural. That’s why the most effective results come from treating all layers of the face:
1. Restoring Volume With Dermal Filler (Deep Plane)
One of the key reasons skin begins to sag is loss of volume. Dermal filler can:
- Lift the mid-face
- Improve cheek support
- Reduce jowls
- Strengthen jawline structure
- Restore youthful contours
When the foundation of the face is restored, the skin naturally sits more lifted.
2. Increasing Collagen From Within (Internal Plane)
We often recommend combining fillers with collagen-stimulating options, including:
- PLLA biostimulator filler
- Polynucleotides
- Thread treatments
- Collagen supplementation
These treatments work from deep within the skin to create long-lasting firmness and improved elasticity.
3. Mid-Depth Treatments: Tightening & Rebuilding the Dermis (Middle Plane)
To strengthen the mid-layers of the skin, we use technologies such as:
- PureDerma (fractional radiofrequency)
- Microneedling with radiofrequency
- Microneedling alone
These treatments tighten, firm and thicken the skin, helping reduce laxity and improve texture.
4. Surface Treatments for Smoothness and Glow (Top Plane)
The surface of the skin also needs attention to complete the lift.
Skin can be refined and brightened with:
- Microneedling
- Chemical peels
- Medical-grade resurfacing facials
This improves fine lines, texture and overall luminosity — ensuring the skin looks as firm and healthy as it feels.
Medical-Grade Skincare: The Non-Negotiable
No treatment plan is complete without homecare. Medical-grade skincare delivers active ingredients into the skin at a therapeutic level.
One of our core philosophies is simple:
Not looking after your skin at home is like going to the gym and eating poorly — you won’t see the results you’re capable of.
We build tailored homecare routines that support firmer, lifted, healthier skin over time.
Why a Personalised Plan Matters
Sagging skin is complex, and no two faces age in the same way. A consultation allows us to assess:
- Skin quality
- Volume loss
- Bone structure
- Degree of laxity
- Lifestyle factors
- Your goals and comfort levels
From there, we design a bespoke plan using the most effective combination of treatments across all layers of the skin.
