Sagging Skin

Aging and environmental factors often cause your skin to lose firmness, especially around the jaw, neck, and cheeks. At Dr Bhabha Aesthetics in Johannesburg, we specialise in rejuvenating treatments that restore elasticity, lift sagging contours, and help you look refreshed – naturally and with confidence.

Causes of Sagging Skin

Sagging skin is the result of multiple factors working together: decreased collagen and elastin production with age; loss of fat pads and facial bone structure; damage from UV exposure; gravity; rapid weight fluctuations; lifestyle factors like smoking, poor diet, lack of sleep; and under-care of delicate skin areas such as the neck.

How to Prevent Sagging Skin

Protect your skin from the sun with high-SPF sunscreen
Avoid excessive UV exposure
Maintain a balanced, nutrient-rich diet
Stay hydrated
Use skincare that supports collagen (like retinoids, vitamin C, peptides)
Stop smoking
Include facial and neck toning as part of your regular skincare routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly will I see results with treatments?

You may notice some lifting or tighter feeling immediately after certain treatments (e.g. fillers or lasers), but full effects usually develop over several weeks as collagen rebuilds.

Will treatments require downtime?

Most of our options involve minimal downtime. Treatments like chemical peels or fractional lasers may cause redness or swelling for 2-5 days, but many clients are able to resume normal activities within a couple of days.

How long do results last for sagging skin correction?

he longevity of results depends on which treatment(s) you choose and how well you maintain your skin. Fillers often last many months, while collagen-stimulating treatments may need periodic follow-ups to sustain firmness as natural aging continues.
