Facial Flaccidity
How to Treat It?

Overview

Facial flaccidity is one of the first visible signs of aging that affects skin firmness, especially in areas like the eye contour, cheeks, neck, and jawline. This condition occurs when collagen and elastin in the skin decrease, leading to loss of firmness and elasticity. At our Aesthetic Center, we have a wide variety of treatments to combat facial flaccidity and restore a rejuvenated and firm appearance.

Why do I have facial flaccidity and how can it be eliminated?

• Natural aging: Over time, the production of collagen and elastin decreases, causing loss of firmness. Treatments like Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers can help tighten affected areas and smooth expression lines.
• Weight changes: Significant weight fluctuations can contribute to the appearance of facial flaccidity, especially in the cheek and neck area. Treatments like Sculptra and Radiesse are effective for restoring lost volume.
• External factors: Sun exposure and pollution accelerate collagen loss. For these cases, we recommend a combination of chemical peels and PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) to revitalize the skin.

What type of treatments exist to improve facial flaccidity?

At our Aesthetic Center, we offer different treatments to improve facial flaccidity without surgery, providing natural and long-lasting results. Some of the most notable are:

• Botox: Ideal for smoothing expression lines in areas such as the forehead and between the eyebrows.
• Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Restore lost volume and redefine facial contours.

• Sculptra: Stimulates collagen production to improve skin firmness in the long term.

• Facial Radiofrequency with Accent Prime: Treats flaccidity by stimulating collagen production deep down, improving firmness and facial contour.

Does facial flaccidity worsen over time?

Yes, facial flaccidity tends to worsen over the years if not treated properly. Skin continues to lose elasticity and firmness, accentuating the sagging of facial features. Treatments like Radiesse or radiofrequency with Accent Prime are key to preventing further deterioration and improving skin appearance in a sustained way.

What types of facial flaccidity are there?

• Skin flaccidity: Mainly affects the epidermis, resulting in less firm skin on the cheeks, double chin, and neck.
• Muscle flaccidity: Occurs when the underlying muscles also lose tone, affecting areas such as the jawline.

What results can I expect with the treatments you offer?

The results of treatments for facial flaccidity vary according to the method used and the individual characteristics of each patient. However, in general, you can expect a visible improvement in firmness and facial contour. Treatments like Sculptra and Radiesse offer progressive and long-lasting results, while Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers provide immediate effects. At our Aesthetic Center, we design a personalized plan for each patient to obtain the best possible results.
