Sagging skin is a common concern that can occur due to aging, weight loss, or other factors. Fortitude offers various minimally invasive treatments to tighten and rejuvenate sagging skin, providing a more youthful and firm appearance. Here’s an overview of the possible treatments:

1. Consultation and Assessment:

• Skin Evaluation: A thorough assessment to determine the extent of skin laxity, the areas affected, and the underlying causes, such as aging, collagen loss, or weight fluctuations.
• Customized Treatment Plan: Based on the evaluation, a personalized treatment plan is developed to target specific areas of concern and achieve the desired results.

2. Treatment Options:

• Radiofrequency (RF) Skin Tightening:

  • How it Works: Uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin.
  • Benefits: Non-invasive, minimal discomfort, and no downtime. It can be used on the face, neck, and body.

• Ultrasound Therapy (HIFU – High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound):

  • How it Works: Delivers focused ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen growth and tightening the skin from within.
  • Benefits: Non-surgical, effective for lifting the face, neck, and décolletage, with results improving over time.

• Thread Lifting:

  • How it Works: A minimally invasive procedure where dissolvable threads are inserted under the skin to lift and tighten sagging areas.
  • Benefits: Immediate lifting effect, with further improvement as the threads stimulate collagen production over time.

• Injectable Treatments (Dermal Fillers):

  • How it Works: Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are injected to add volume and lift sagging areas, particularly in the mid-face, cheeks, and jawline.
  • Benefits: Quick results with minimal downtime, improving skin firmness and contour.

• Microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF Microneedling):

  • How it Works: Combines microneedling with RF energy to create micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production, tightening the skin and improving texture.
  • Benefits: Effective for skin tightening, reducing fine lines, and improving skin texture with minimal recovery time.

• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy:

  • How it Works: Uses the patient’s own blood plasma, rich in growth factors, to rejuvenate and tighten the skin, promoting natural collagen production.
  • Benefits: Natural, minimally invasive treatment with a focus on enhancing skin health and elasticity.

3. Aftercare:

• Sun Protection: Essential to protect the skin from further damage and maintain results.
• Skincare Routine: A tailored regimen to support skin health, hydration, and collagen production.
• Follow-up Sessions: Depending on the treatment, multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results.

4. Safety and Considerations:

• Qualified Professionals: All treatments are performed by experienced dermatologists and technicians to ensure safety and effectiveness.
• Minimally Invasive: The focus on non-surgical treatments means minimal downtime and lower risk compared to surgical options.
