A combination of loss of elastin and collagen to the skin alongside deflation and descent of facial tissues lead to the appearance of sagging across the mid- & lower face with the ageing process. We start to lose 1% of our collagen from the age of 30, this is accelerated throughout the peri- & post-menopausal period.
Symptoms:
Mild to moderate skin laxity & facial sagging often presents initially with with pronunciation of nasolabial and marionette folds. Jowling and loss of definition to the jawline as well as loose skin across the neck are common features of moderate to severe skin laxity.

Today, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Ana and her incredible team for showing me something that goes far beyond professional care — genuine compassion, kindness, and humanity. Going through cancer has been one of the scariest and most difficult experiences of my life. When you face an illness like this, you realise how precious life is and how much a little kindness, understanding, and warmth can mean. Returning to Dr Ana Skin Clinic today was an emotional moment for me, and the way Dr Ana welcomed me back touched my heart more than words can express. Dr Ana is not only an exceptionally talented and highly skilled doctor, but, above all, a truly wonderful woman with a beautiful heart. She understands that illness does not discriminate, that life can change for any of us, and that behind every face is a person with feelings, fears, and a story. Her compassion made me feel welcomed, understood, and cared for at a time when I needed it most. A very special thank you to Kelly, with whom I shared a few tears today. Sometimes, words are simply not enough, and it is in these emotional moments that the true kindness of another person shines through. Thank you for your warmth, understanding, and for making me feel that I was not just another client walking through the door. Thank you also to Anastasia and Amna for being part of such a lovely and caring team. Every one of you contributed to making my return feel special, and I will carry that kindness with me. Dr Ana, you are a beautiful reminder that being a great doctor is not just about knowledge, talent, or skill — it is also about having the heart to care for people when life becomes frightening and uncertain. Cancer may change many things in life, but it also makes you appreciate the truly special people who cross your path. Today, I was reminded that kindness can bring comfort, tears can be shared with understanding, and compassion can make even the hardest journey feel a little less lonely. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Dr Ana, Kelly, Anastasia, and Amna. You are all wonderful, and I feel genuinely grateful to have been welcomed back by such a special team. With heartfelt appreciation and love. ❤️![]()

I highly recommend Dr Ana • The Skin Clinic! ❤️ From the very beginning, I felt comfortable, welcomed, and well looked after. Dr Ali took the time to make sure I understood everything clearly. He listened carefully to my expectations, addressed all my concerns, and gave me his professional and honest opinion about what would be best for me. I really appreciated his individual approach and honesty — there was absolutely no pressure to have any unnecessary treatments. In fact, he actually advised me against some of the treatments I had been considering myself, which made me trust his professional judgement even more. I am 100% happy with my experience and felt completely comfortable throughout the whole appointment. Amna at reception was also absolutely lovely, friendly, and very helpful. She patiently answered all my questions and explained everything clearly without making me feel rushed. Overall, such a friendly and professional experience. I felt genuinely listened to and cared for, and I would definitely recommend this clinic! 😊![]()

We take pride in our passion for providing natural, tasteful, age-appropriate and undetectable results throughout all of our treatment modalities. When it comes to sagging of the skin we focus on improving skin elasticity by the way of skin tightening treatments which does not result in an unnatural appearance.
As part of the natural ageing process, it is common to see skin laxity across the mid and lower face alongside the neck and decolletage. These are the most UV-exposed areas which causes breakdown of collagen and elastin, hands are therefore also affected. Our skin tightening treatments can be applied across all of these areas.
All of the above are excellent options for stimulating collagen and thereby tightening sagging skin. There are certain marked differences in patient suitabilty as well as patient preference of discomfort, downtime and time commitment. We will guide you through these parameters during our consultation so that you can make the most informed decision in your own time.
Loss of collagen starts as early as our 20s however accelerates significantly around the menopausal period. Patients often therefore find that their skin tightness rapidly declines. We recommend starting skin tightening treatments as early as possible to account for this, this method is referred to as “collagen banking”.
This is a common concern indeed that can significantly impact confidence levels during and after a period of weight loss. The most effective treatment for weight-related skin laxity is usually Sculptra biostimulator, the earlier this is commenced during the weight loss journey the better the outcome in our experience.
