Sagging skin
Aging, stress, sun and smoking can cause wrinkles and sagging skin. These signs can manifest themselves in deeper or shallower creases between the nose and mouth, changes to theoval of the face and the appearance of fatty deposits on the neck. Techniques ranging from aesthetic medicine to surgery can combat these effects, giving the face a more youthful, reshaped appearance.
Lifting du visage et du cou
Traiter les signes du vieillissement du visage peut aller de l’utilisation d’options non chirurgicales au choix d’un lifting du visage et du cou. Un lifting est fréquemment associé à une chirurgie des paupières et les cicatrices sont souvent cachées dans la racine des cheveux et dans le pli derrière l’oreille
Traitement HIFU
La technologie HIFU (High Intensity Focalised Ultrasounds), grâce à l’utilisation d’ultrasons à haute fréquence et focalisés, offre une solution efficace pour lutter contre le relâchement cutané du visage et du corps, en stimulant le processus de renouvellement naturel du collagène et en améliorant la texture de la peau.
Laser CO2
Le laser CO2 est une technique non invasive qui permet de réduire les rides du visage et les irrégularités de la peau, telles que les imperfections ou les cicatrices d’acné. Le laser dirige des faisceaux lumineux concentrés sur la peau irrégulière, éliminant les zones sélectionnées couche par couche.
Traitement Radiesse®
Le Radiesse® est un matériau cosmétique injectable, utilisé pour remplir des zones spécifiques du visage. Il stimule le collagène naturel de votre corps, comble les rides à long terme et aide votre peau à développer de nouveaux collagènes au cours du processus.

Frequently asked questions
What causes sagging skin?
Sagging skin over time is the result of a combination of factors that are more or less controllable. Here are the main examples:
- Rapid and/or significant weight changes: Rapid changes in weight cause skin cells to stretch and may never regain their original firmness. Pregnancy, in particular, can lead to considerable distension. In cases of significant weight loss, excess skin may remain permanently.
- Natural aging: from the age of 25, the body’s production of collagen and elastin diminishes. These proteins are responsible for maintaining and firming the skin. Their reduction in the body therefore logically leads to tissue sagging. This phenomenon is accentuated by slower tissue regeneration, leading to a loss of skin density.
- Hormonal changes: Natural hormonal variations, particularly during menopause, tend to dry out skin tissue, accentuating sagging. Andropause creates similar effects in men.
- The sun: Prolonged exposure to the sun damages skin cells, which lose their suppleness and tone more rapidly over the years. The sun accelerates skin ageing, and its effects accumulate over the years, which is why it’s so important to protect against it from childhood onwards.
- Genetics: certain genetic predispositions are responsible for greater or premature aging in some people. Generally speaking, darker skins tend to suffer less from sagging than lighter skins.
- Tobacco consumption and lifestyle: Smoking interferes with collagen production and promotes skin dehydration. In addition, a poorly-balanced diet or a significant lack of sleep degrades cell regeneration capacity, and contributes to accentuating the body’s aging process.
What are the treatments for sagging skin?
How can you prevent it?
A number of daily reflexes can help minimize skin slackening. Diet is probably the most influential factor, providing the nutrients needed to regenerate skin cells and slow down the natural aging process. Vitamins C and E, zinc, amino acids and other elements play an active role in collagen production.
Good diet management also facilitates weight management and avoids rapid weight gain and loss. Inadequate hydration is also a key factor in the acceleration of skin ageing, which is why regular, appropriate skin care has a significant effect.
Medical and surgical treatments
- Medical treatments
- CO2 laser This non-invasive technique reduces irregularities on the skin’s surface.
- HIFU Improves skin texture by stimulating collagen production using focused ultrasound, a non-invasive method.
- Radiesse treatment Radiesse is a volumizing product injected into the skin to stimulate collagen and fill wrinkles.
- BodyTite – Morpheus8 This technology uses induced heat to improve skin quality without surgery.
- Tensor threads They support sagging tissues and disappear naturally as they firm up.
- Surgical treatments
- Face and neck lift is a surgical procedure that tightens the skin of the treated area. The scars caused by this procedure are generally concealed in areas such as the scalp, to maintain a natural result. Surgery requires more extensive follow-up and longer recovery times than medical methods, but the results are all the more impressive.
- The mini-lift is also an option. Less complex and less invasive, it allows a shorter recovery time with very natural results.
How is care provided?
All procedures are preceded by at least one consultation with a doctor, to determine your needs and expectations.

Follow-up continues until your recovery is complete, and up to a year after surgery. The Claris Clinic staff is at your service throughout your pre- and post-surgery care, to answer any questions you may have and provide you with the best possible support.
