Why Does Skin Start to Sag?
As we age, collagen and elastin production declines, weakening the internal support system that keeps skin firm. This process starts as early as our 20s and accelerates after 40.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best treatment for sagging skin?
It depends on your skin type and severity. Sculptra® builds internal volume, Sofwave™ tightens with ultrasound, and RF microneedling improves skin density. Many guests do a combination.
How long does it take to see results?
Sculptra® takes 4 – 6 weeks to begin showing effects; Sofwave™ can produce visible lift in 1 – 3 months. Results improve over time as collagen rebuilds.
Is it painful?
Topical numbing is used for microneedling and Moxi™. Sofwave™ uses cooling and real-time feedback to keep you comfortable.
How long do results last?
Sculptra® can last over 2 years; Sofwave™ often lasts 12 – 18 months with annual upkeep. Maintenance varies by treatment and lifestyle.
What does it cost?
Skin tightening treatments start at $399. Your custom quote depends on the number of areas and sessions needed.
Can I treat sagging skin without fillers or Botox®?
Yes. We offer non-injectable options like Sofwave™, RF microneedling, and lasers for those who prefer a natural, needle-free route.
