Firming Loose, Sagging Skin — Without Surgery
Rebuilding the Support That Holds Skin Taut
The Biological Cause
Firm skin is held up by a dense network of collagen and elastin. Beginning in our thirties, the body produces less of both each year, so that network weakens and the skin it once suspended begins to descend.
The result is a softening jawline, jowls forming along the lower face, and loose, crepey skin on the neck. It is a structural change rather than a surface one, so it responds to treatments that rebuild collagen rather than resurface skin.
Our Clinical Approach
At Kootenay Cosmetic Clinic we tighten skin with radiofrequency, matched to the degree of laxity. InMode Forma warms the deeper skin to build collagen gradually with no downtime for earlier laxity, while Morpheus8 drives radiofrequency deeper for more established looseness — the closest non-surgical option to a face lift.
