Facelifting Treatment for Facial Sagging: Why a Multi-Layered Approach Works Best

As we age, facial sagging becomes a common concern due to skin laxity, volume loss, and structural weakening. Many patients searching for a facelifting treatment want natural-looking rejuvenation without surgery.

At VIDASKIN, we take a multi-layered approach to facial sagging by combining Ultherapy Prime, radiofrequency skin tightening, and dermal fillers. This method addresses all layers of the face—from deep muscle support to skin tightening and volume restoration—for a more lifted, youthful, and natural appearance.

Why Does Facial Sagging Happen?

Facial sagging occurs due to multiple factors affecting different layers of the face:

✔ Loss of Collagen & Elastin – Skin loses firmness and elasticity, leading to sagging.
✔ Fat Pad Shift & Volume Loss – Facial fat redistributes, causing hollowing and loss of definition.
✔ SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) Weakening – The deep facial support structure weakens over time.
✔ Bone Resorption – The skull gradually shrinks, reducing foundational support for the face.

Since aging affects multiple layers, treating only one layer (e.g., just skin tightening or just fillers) won’t create the best results. The key to a successful facelifting treatment is a multi-layered approach.

VIDASKIN’s Multi-Layered Approach to Facial Sagging

We combine three key technologies to restore a lifted, contoured, and youthful look:

1. Ultherapy Prime – Deep Layer Lifting & Collagen Stimulation

✔ Uses microfocused ultrasound energy to stimulate deep collagen production in the SMAS layer (same layer targeted in surgical facelifts).
✔ Lifts sagging skin and improves jawline definition, brow position, and cheek support.
✔ Long-lasting results with no downtime.

2. Radiofrequency Skin Tightening – Superficial Skin Firming & Wrinkle Reduction

✔ Uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to gently heat the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin.
✔ Targets mild to moderate skin laxity in the upper dermis.
✔ Works well for smoothing fine lines, tightening loose skin, and refining texture.

3. Dermal Fillers – Volume Restoration & Facial Contouring

✔ Replaces lost volume in the cheeks, temples, and jawline for a fuller, lifted appearance.
✔ Contours and defines the face, supporting sagging skin for a more structured look.
✔ Instantly softens nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and hollow areas.

Why Combining These Treatments Gives the Best Results

Each treatment targets a different layer of the face, ensuring a complete, natural-looking lift:

✔ Ultherapy Prime → Lifts and tightens deep facial structures (SMAS layer).
✔ Radiofrequency Skin Tightening → Firms and refines the superficial skin layer.
✔ Dermal Fillers → Restore lost volume and provide contouring support.

Using all three techniques together ensures a harmonious, youthful appearance without looking overdone.

Which Areas Benefit the Most from This Facelifting Treatment?

✔ Jawline & Jowls – Lifts and tightens the lower face for a defined jawline.
✔ Cheeks & Midface – Restores lost volume and lifts sagging skin.
✔ Nasolabial Folds – Reduces deep folds with both lifting and filling.
✔ Eyebrows & Forehead – Creates a refreshed, lifted look.
✔ Neck & Décolletage – Improves skin elasticity and smoothness.

How Long Do Results Last?

✔ Ultherapy Prime results build gradually over 3-6 months, lasting up to 1-2 years.
✔ Radiofrequency skin tightening provides ongoing skin improvement, with effects lasting 1-2 years
✔ Dermal fillers offer immediate results, lasting 12-18 months.
✔ When combined, results are longer-lasting and more natural than using one treatment alone.
