Why Is My Face Starting to Sag Even Though I’m Healthy? (+ What to Do About It)

You eat well, stay active, drink plenty of water, and take great care of your skin daily, so why does your reflection suddenly look older? Maybe your jawline isn’t as defined, your cheeks seem lower, or you have extra looseness around your neck.

Wondering why is my face starting to sag even though I’m healthy? Curious how you can restore a youthful appearance?

Skin laxity is a normal part of aging, but you can tackle it with treatments like Sofwave.

Why Is My Face Starting to Sag?

It’s true that healthy habits help your skin look its best, but they can’t completely prevent the effects of aging.

As we get older, our bodies gradually produce less collagen and elastin. And the amount that is produced has a much lower quality.

This means that over time you may notice problems like:

  • A softer jawline
  • Drooping cheeks
  • Mild jowls
  • Loose skin under the chin
  • More noticeable fine lines

No matter how good your diet is or how diligent you are with your skincare routine, these changes are inevitable.

What Else is Contributing to My Face Starting to Sag?

Collagen loss is the biggest factor, but it’s not the only one. Other contributors include years of sun exposure, genetics, hormonal changes, repetitive facial expressions, and natural loss of facial fat.

These changes happen gradually, which is why many people suddenly notice sagging one day, even though the process has been occurring for many years.

How Does Sofwave Work?

Sofwave is a non-surgical skin tightening treatment that uses advanced ultrasound technology to encourage collagen production.

As your body responds, it gradually creates fresh collagen (and elastin) that help firm and tighten the treated areas. This treatment is commonly used to improve mild to moderate skin laxity, drooping skin, and a loss of definition.

One of the main reasons why Sofwave has become so popular is because it’s non-invasive and delivers noticeable improvements without any downtime or a lengthy recovery.

When Will I See Improvements in My Skin?

In a world where everyone wants instant results, patience has taken the backseat. But, the reality is that collagen-stimulating treatments take time.

While some patients notice subtle improvements within a few weeks, it can take eight to twelve weeks to see the most significant changes.

As collagen continues to rebuild and remodel, the skin eventually becomes firmer, smoother, and more lifted.

Am I A Good Candidate for Sofwave?

This treatment works best for people who have mild to moderate skin laxity and want to improve firmness without surgery.

Sofwave is great for adults who are dealing with mild sagging, a softer jawline, or early signs of neck aging.

Many patients choose this treatment before skin laxity becomes severe, which allows them to maintain a youthful appearance for much longer. Because collagen loss can start as soon as we enter our mid-20s, the sooner treatment begins, the better your results will be.

Your Skin Can Look as Healthy as You Feel

Watching your face begin to sag, despite doing everything right, can be extremely discouraging. But instead of sitting around and asking why is my face starting to sag, take action!

With Sofwave treatment at Vibrant Dermatology, you can support your skin’s health and appearance from the inside out. By stimulating collagen production, you can look younger and feel your best, no matter your age.

Don’t wait until it’s too late to tackle the early signs of aging. Instead, contact us online, give us a call at 617-250-0257 or schedule an appointment online with one of our providers to learn more about how non-surgical skin tightening can transform your look.
