Loose Skin
Men and women alike experience a gradual descent of skin as we age.
Loose skin can be seen as droopy eyelids, bags under the eyes, prominent nasolabial folds and marionette lines, jowls, and as crinkly, pendulous skin on the neck.
At Virginia Square Dermatology, we will use the latest techniques and technology to improve loose skin without surgery.
What causes loose skin?
Loss of bone structure
Loss of deep fat pads
Sun exposure and smoking, which lead to decreased collagen and elastic fibers
How can loose skin be improved?
Sometimes, the best treatment for loose skin is surgery. However, many patients may not be severe enough for surgery, and others never want surgery at all. As always, we will start with a cosmetic consultation to examine the area and hear about a patient’s goals. Non-surgical treatment options for loose skin are:
Dermal fillers (including hyperdilute fillers)
Chemical brow elevation
Thread lift
Microfocused ultrasound or radiofrequency
