What Causes Loose and Sagging Skin?
Loose or sagging skin is a natural result of aging. As we age, we lose collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep our skin firm, tight, and resilient. This decline leads to visible laxity in the face, neck, arms, and abdomen. Various factors, such as sun exposure, weight fluctuation, and genetics, can accelerate this process.
At IWH Medspa in Ventura, CA, we offer cutting-edge, non-invasive, and minimally invasive skin tightening treatments. These advanced procedures are designed to restore firmness, improve contour, and rejuvenate the skin without surgery or lengthy recovery times.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
What causes skin to sag?
The aging process, loss of collagen and elastin, sun damage, weight loss, and genetics all contribute to sagging skin. Due to these changes, the skin becomes thinner, less elastic, and more prone to drooping.
Is surgery the only solution for loose skin?
IWH Medspa offers many non-surgical options, such as Morpheus8®, Tempsure®, and Smartlipo Triplex, that effectively tighten the skin and stimulate natural collagen production without requiring invasive procedures.
How long do results last?
Results vary by treatment, but with good skincare and maintenance, many clients enjoy visible improvements that last 6 months to 2+ years. Treatments like Smartlipo and biostimulators may offer even longer-lasting effects.
Can I combine treatments for better results?
Our clients benefit from combining skin-tightening technologies with PRP, fillers, or microneedling for comprehensive rejuvenation. Our specialists will create a custom plan based on your goals.
Is there downtime?
Most of our treatments require little to no downtime. Some procedures like Smartlipo® or RF microneedling may involve mild redness, swelling, or short recovery periods, but these are typically minimal and well-tolerated.
