Where Does Skin Sagging Come From?
There are three types of skin sagging: that resulting from a yo-yo diet after pregnancy, that due to significant weight loss following a long period of obesity, and the skin sagging associated with ageing, which typically appears in one's fifties and can be exacerbated by various factors. Elastin fibres, responsible for maintaining the skin's structure and firmness, become less abundant as the body slows down its functions. The same is true for collagen, which is essential for skin quality.
The areas affected by skin ageing include the facial oval, neck, cheekbones, arms, breasts, lower abdomen, inner thighs, and buttocks. External factors can accelerate this process, such as tobacco use, sunlight, which dries out the skin and destroys the proteins and acids that maintain youthfulness, and the effects of gravity.
Why Opt for HIFU Ultrasound?
The HIFU treatment promotes the firmness of the facial skin. The focused ultrasound against facial skin sagging (HIFU) acts on all skin surfaces: muscle or fat depending on the area, deep dermis, and epidermis. As a result, the skin's fibroblasts will produce more collagen, restoring firmness and tone to the skin. This method can also treat the hypodermis, namely the fat in the area of the double chin or lower cheeks.
The physician draws well-defined lines to ensure that the ultrasounds penetrate the skin effectively. This nearly painless session (with some tingling) will remodel the facial oval. While a single session may be sufficient, it is advisable to wait at least 6 weeks before considering a second one. HIFU treatment is recommended in cases of sagging neck and décolleté, drooping eyelids, sagging eyebrows, or malar bags (around the cheekbones). While results are visible from the first session, they will continue to improve over time.
Why Opt for Morpheus Treatment?
The Morpheus treatment is the latest radiofrequency technology combined with microneedling (tiny needles that deliver this stimulating current directly to the targeted area). This treatment allows for skin reshaping at all levels as it is possible to control the penetration of the microneedles. It is used on various areas in cases of facial sagging (eyelids, contours, double chin, or droopy cheeks...), for example.
This treatment produces a tightening effect that fractionally reshapes the face and body. Radiofrequency enables deep action, thus promoting skin firming. Morpheus is an interesting alternative for individuals seeking an in-depth treatment without being invasive.
Makeup removal will be mandatory, as well as the application of a numbing cream before the session. The very fine needles penetrate the skin with minimal discomfort at depths ranging from 1 to 8 millimeters. This allows for effective treatment across different skin thicknesses. The treatment operates in a triple manner: contraction of the tissue for firmer texture and improved elasticity, heating to address skin pressure, and coagulation and reduction of subcutaneous fat tissue. Results gradually appear in the following weeks as the body produces collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
Before proceeding, be sure to discuss it with a professional who can guide you towards the technique best suited to your needs.
