There are several treatment options;
Skin tightening treatments – Such as radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production and tighten skin
Fractional resurfacing lasers – To even skin texture and tighten skin
Deep chemical peels – To completely resurface and tighten skin
Dermal fillers – To revolumise and lift skin
Surgery (face lift) – To remove excess skin

When you are younger your skin works in a very productive way making plenty of Hyaluronic acid (hydration molecule), Elastin (keeps our skin bouncy) and Collagen (keeps our skin plump and youthful), however from the age of 20 your skin makes 1% less collagen and elastin every year. Its natural cell renewal process also slows down, resulting in the skin becoming lined, pigmented and wrinkled. External factors also contribute to premature ageing and lifestyle choices have a huge impact on your skin. Ageing is a fact of life, but looking your age is a choice!
