Collagen (type I and type III) – the insoluble fibrous protein in the extracellular matrix is responsible for the firmness of young skin It gets rapidly reduced by the age of 40 due to UV rays, free radicals, chlorinated water, smoking, and pollution is responsible for skin sagging. The sublime procedure induces the formation of new collagen by:

Heat down the deep dermis and cause collagen contracture and denaturation Induce growth factors that stimulate new collagen synthesis.

Replace the old collagen with new fibers that will be histologically more compact.

New fibers take over old collagens. These are more compact and better organized. It provides less wrinkled and smoother skin making you look younger and radiant.

Individuals aged 18 and above are eligible for skin tightening treatments to address their aesthetic concerns. However, Botulinum Toxin treatment is recommended for those under 60.

Depending on the treatment method and the severity of sagging, your dermatologist may suggest two to four sessions spread over several months or years. For instance, HIFU may involve up to four sessions per year with a three-month gap between each. Botox may require two to three sessions, with results lasting four to six months, while filler treatments may offer results lasting up to 1.5 years.

Improvements can be noticed after the first session, with optimal results achieved after at least three treatment sessions. The timeline depends on the severity of skin sag and the chosen modality.
