Sagging skin – Treatments
Aesthetic medicine Poznań offers many treatments that can help firm sagging skin. The most commonly used methods are:
- Mesotherapy – involves injecting a cocktail of active substances such as hyaluronic acid, amino acids, vitamins and minerals under the skin. Mesotherapy stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, making the skin firmer and more elastic.
- Radiofrequency – uses radio waves to heat skin tissues. Heating the tissues stimulates repair and regeneration processes, making the skin firmer and tighter.
- Laser therapy – uses laser beams to heat skin tissues. Heating the tissues stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, making the skin firmer and more elastic.
- HIFU therapy (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) – uses focused ultrasound waves to heat skin tissues. Heating the tissues stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, making the skin firmer and tighter.
- Botox – botulinum toxin is a substance that blocks the transmission of nerve impulses to muscles. Injecting Botox into selected parts of the facial muscles can cause them to relax, which leads to smoothing out wrinkles.
- Fillers – fillers are substances that are injected under the skin to fill wrinkles and furrows. Fillers can be made of hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite or polycaprolactin.
What’s more, the choice of the right method depends on the individual needs and expectations of the patient. It is important to consult an aesthetic medicine doctor before the procedure, who will help choose the best treatment method.
Sagging skin – Causes
In addition to aesthetic medicine treatments, external factors also affect skin firmness, such as:
- Excessive sunbathing – UV radiation weakens collagen and elastin fibers, which leads to skin sagging.
- Smoking – nicotine weakens the production of collagen and elastin.
- Incorrect diet – deficiencies of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, E, A, zinc and sulfur, can lead to skin sagging.
- Insufficient sleep – sleep is essential for skin regeneration.

To maintain skin firmness, it is worth:
- Avoid excessive sunbathing – wear a sunscreen with a high protection factor (SPF 50+).
- Do not smoke.
- Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals.
- Get enough sleep – sleep 7-8 hours a day.
