Sagging Skin
in Portsmouth, NH
Thrive Med Spa & Wellness offers advanced, non-surgical solutions for sagging skin, helping you restore a firmer, more youthful appearance. As we age, our skin loses elasticity and volume, leading to a less defined contour. Our personalized treatment plans are designed to address your specific concerns by stimulating collagen and revitalizing your skin from within. We are dedicated to providing effective options that help you feel confident and refreshed.
What Is Sagging Skin?
Sagging skin, clinically known as skin laxity, occurs when the skin loses its firmness and elasticity. This process is a natural part of aging, as the body’s production of collagen and elastin—proteins responsible for skin structure and resilience—declines over time. External factors like sun exposure, lifestyle habits, and significant weight loss can also accelerate this process, affecting areas like the face, neck, and body.
Common Signs of Skin Laxity
-
Loss of facial volume, particularly in the cheeks and temples.
-
Appearance of jowls or a less defined jawline.
-
Loose, crepey skin on the neck, arms, or abdomen.
-
Fine lines and wrinkles becoming deeper and more prominent.
-
A tired or drawn appearance due to drooping facial features.
What Causes Skin to Sag?
The primary cause of sagging skin is the natural aging process, which slows the production of collagen and elastin fibers. These proteins provide the skin with its structural support and ability to snap back into place. Contributing factors include prolonged sun exposure, which breaks down existing collagen, significant weight fluctuations, and genetics.

Good Candidates for Skin Tightening
-
Adults experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity, including early signs of sagging, wrinkles, or loss of firmness.
-
Individuals who want to improve loose or aging skin without undergoing surgery or extensive downtime.

People who maintain a stable weight and have realistic expectations about the gradual, subtle results of non-surgical skin tightening.

Candidates with generally healthy skin and no active infections, severe acne, or other uncontrolled skin conditions in the treatment area.

Non-smokers or those willing to stop smoking, as nicotine can interfere with skin health, healing, and treatment results.
Benefits of Non-Surgical Treatments
- Firmer, Lifted Appearance
Our treatments work to contract existing tissue and stimulate new collagen growth, resulting in visibly tighter and firmer skin. This helps to lift sagging areas like the jowls, neck, and cheeks, creating a more defined and refreshed facial contour.
- Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles
By rebuilding the skin’s underlying support structure, our procedures effectively smooth out fine lines and soften deeper wrinkles. Increased collagen and elastin fill in these creases from below, creating a smoother texture and a more youthful complexion.
- Natural-Looking, Gradual Results
Non-surgical skin tightening provides subtle and gradual improvements that look entirely natural. The results develop over several weeks to months as your body produces new collagen, ensuring you look like a refreshed, authentic version of yourself.
- Improved Skin Tone and Texture
Many of our treatments for skin laxity also enhance overall skin quality. By promoting cellular turnover and renewal, they improve skin tone and texture, leaving your skin looking healthier, brighter, and more radiant.
- Minimal to No Downtime
A significant advantage of our non-surgical approaches is the convenience of minimal to no required recovery time. Most patients can return to their daily activities immediately after their appointment, making it easy to fit transformative skin care into a busy lifestyle.
