Skin Sagging
The skin that used to be firmer, the facial contour that has begun to give way, the arms that jiggle: sagging is natural, but it does not have to be accepted without options.
Understand what is behind it
Perhaps you noticed it little by little: the less defined facial contour, the double chin that appeared, the skin of the abdomen or arms with less firmness after weight loss or a pregnancy. Sagging tends to arrive without warning and affects self-image, because it gives that sense that the skin no longer keeps up with the body — nor with the energy — you have.
Behind this is the loss of collagen and elastin, the fibers that support the skin and give it firmness. This happens naturally over time, but it is accelerated by rapid weight loss, sun exposure, hormonal shifts and pregnancy. Sagging can be cutaneous (skin with less firmness) or muscular, and both influence the contour of the face and body.
The good part is that skin responds to stimulus. When it receives the right signal, the body starts producing collagen again — and it is precisely on this principle that modern treatments rely, able to restore firmness without altering your features.
The most modern and effective options
At Instituto Splendore, the foundation of caring for sagging is to stimulate new collagen at depth, combining technologies that act on different layers. The Ultraformer MPT (HIFU) delivers microfocused ultrasound to deep layers such as the SMAS, promoting immediate contraction and neocollagenesis; Fractional Radiofrequency (Axcel RFM100) heats the dermis and reorganizes the fibers; Exilis 360 unites radiofrequency and ultrasound for firmness; and Collagen Biostimulators prompt the body itself to gradually build support.
The right order and combination depend on the degree of sagging, the area and the quality of the skin — that is why the protocol is exclusive and personalized, defined during the assessment consultation with Dr. Chris Marchetti. Many patients already feel an initial firmness in the first sessions, but the full effect matures over 3 to 6 months, always with a natural result — firmness restored, without artificial volume or any change to the features.
