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.

The concern

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.

What we offer

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.

Every case is unique

Here, no treatment is off-the-shelf

There is no single formula. In the assessment consultation, Dr. Chris Marchetti studies your case — your body, your routine and your goal — and designs the exclusive combination of technologies, methods and protocols that makes sense for you.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about Skin Sagging

Can sagging be treated without surgery?
Yes. Technologies such as Ultraformer MPT (HIFU), radiofrequency and biostimulators stimulate collagen and improve firmness without any cuts. In very pronounced cases, the assessment indicates whether surgery is more appropriate.
When will I see the result?
There is usually an initial firmness right after the first sessions, but the full effect appears between 3 and 6 months, as the new collagen matures.
How long does it last?
Generally 12 to 18 months. Since the skin keeps aging, periodic maintenance helps preserve the firmness you have achieved.
What is the difference between HIFU and radiofrequency?
HIFU (Ultraformer MPT) delivers energy to deeper layers, such as the SMAS; radiofrequency heats the dermis more superficially. They are often combined to treat different layers.
Will a biostimulator make my face puffy?
Not like a filler. The biostimulator prompts the production of your own collagen, restoring firmness and support gradually and naturally, without inflating the features.
