Skin is supposed to sit tightly on the skin. However, skin can appear to sag due to a reduction in collagen and elastin protein. Sagging skin can appear in any place for different reasons and is most commonly found as we age. This can be a problem for us when we age and is the main concern for many older people. Here at LAMINE Skin Clinic, we offer differ ways to treat sagging skin problems!

What Causes Sagging Skin?

Skin requires the right amount of collagen and elastin to sit firmly on the skin. While these proteins are abundant when we are young, it starts to diminish as we get older. Once these proteins start to diminish and deteriorate, our skin starts to sag in different places.
The most common reason for sagging skin is aging. Skin ages just like our body does, so it is going to lose its youthful appearance. Another common reason is exposure to the sun. The ultraviolet ray is detrimental to our skin, damaging the elastin and protein and speeding up the aging process.
Almost everyone will experience sagging skin in their lives so it is not an uncommon condition. Moisturizing and taking vitamin supplements will help to reduce sagging skin but these will have temporary effects. If your skin has been sagging for a period of time, you will need to take more dramatic measures for treatment.

Then What Are Some Measures For Sagging Skin?

At LAMINE Skin Clinic, we offer a customized one-on-one Density lifting treatment that has high impedance. Density lifting is a 6.87mz high frequency treatment device that is a Korean version of Thermage. As the name shows, Density lifting treatment penetrates deep into our skin to lift the skin from the deepest levels.
As our skin sags in different areas in different levels, it is often hard to treat the skin evenly. However, with Density, the treatment device utilizes multiple tips to change according to skin type and problem area.
How is it different from Thermage? In comparison, Density’s tip is about the same size as Thermage FLX. Depending on the skin impedance, different tips are used for a customizable lifting experience.

As seen above, there are different types of tips to used for different skin impedance and skin thickness. Depending on the skin sagging and type, we choose a different tip that fits the skin including the body.

How much lifting sessions would I need?

Around 600 shots are used for Density to show effects on the skin. Therefore, even if it is one session of lifting treatment, you should be getting around 600 shots.

At our clinic, before going through a lifting treatment, we do a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Kim to find out how many sessions and how many shots you need. Additionally, we conduct a facial analysis before every treatment experience to see the before and after effect. Therefore, we recommend coming in for a consultation to find out in detail about how to manage and treat the sagging of the skin.
