Skin Laxity and Sagging

Treating Skin Laxity and Sagging

Rebuilding the Fibers That Keep Skin Firm

Skin stays taut because of a network of collagen and elastin in its deeper layers. From our mid-twenties, we make less collagen each year and existing fibers weaken, and sun exposure speeds that up considerably. Over time the jawline softens into jowls, the neck loosens, the brows and eyelids feel heavier and skin on the body loses its snap, especially after weight loss or pregnancy.

Non-surgical tightening works by prompting the skin to rebuild those fibers. Radiofrequency and ultrasound heat the deeper layers so new collagen forms over the following months. Microneedling and resurfacing stimulate the same response from the surface. Body contouring devices that combine fat reduction with muscle toning help firm the shape underneath. These treatments suit mild to moderate laxity well. If sagging is significant, we'll tell you honestly whether surgery would serve you better.

Services That Treat Skin Laxity and Sagging

The treatments below stimulate collagen and firm loose skin across the face, neck and body. Most are done as a series with results building over months, and your provider will recommend which suits your skin and the area you want to treat. Each service page explains how the treatment works, how many sessions to expect and how long results last.

‍

XERF Skin Tightening

Skin tightening uses radiofrequency or ultrasound energy to heat the deeper layers of skin, prompting your body to build new collagen. Over the following months, skin along the jawline, neck, eyes and body becomes firmer and more lifted.

Microneedling

Microneedling creates thousands of tiny controlled punctures in the skin, which triggers your body to produce new collagen. Over a series of sessions, texture smooths, scars soften and pores look smaller.

XERF Body Contouring

XERF Body Contouring uses advanced radiofrequency technology to help tighten loose skin, stimulate collagen production, and improve skin firmness without surgery or significant downtime. Treatments are customized to your body's needs and goals.

Skin Resurfacing

Skin resurfacing removes damaged outer layers of skin and stimulates new growth underneath. It's one of the most effective treatments for sun damage, deeper lines, acne scarring and rough texture, with results that last for years.

FAQ

Any Questions?

Can loose skin be tightened without surgery?

Yes, for mild to moderate laxity. Non-surgical treatments firm and lift gradually by rebuilding collagen, though they can't remove excess skin the way surgery does.

‍

Which areas can be treated?

Jawline, neck, brows, eyes, cheeks, abdomen, arms, thighs and knees are all commonly treated.

‍

How soon will I see results?

Some tightening is visible right away, but the main change develops over two to three months as new collagen forms.

‍

How long do results last?

Typically one to three years, depending on the treatment and how your skin ages. Maintenance sessions extend them.

‍

Is skin tightening safe for darker skin?

Yes. Radiofrequency and ultrasound don't target pigment, so there's no risk of discoloration.

‍

Can I tighten loose skin after weight loss?

Often, yes, if your skin still has reasonable elasticity. Your provider will assess whether non-surgical treatment can give you a meaningful result.

What Our Patients Say

SWAE is a new med spa I found in Hermosa Beach. I went in for skin tightening and my very first laser hair removal treatment. I've always wanted to try laser hair removal and I can't believe I've never done this before! It was completely painless and so quick, and the nurses made the experience so comfortable and even fun! The skin tightening treatment was painless as well, and I noticed that my skin already feels smoother and tighter as the days go by. I purchased a package so I can continue with my laser hair removal treatments, and I'm definitely going back for more skin treatments!

This is the new go to, ladies and gents. I had an amazing experience at Swae getting hair laser removal, and the customer service is top notch. The technicians were kind and professional, keeping me informed all the time of what was happening. The laser itself was shockingly painless. It felt like a puff of air and water. I truly couldn’t believe that it was a laser. The process was super quick and I was out the door in 10 minutes! I used to go to Sev but I’m a convert now and will definitely be back. Go! It’s worth it.

I highly recommend Sawe Med Spa in Hermosa Beach! The entire staff was wonderful—warm, professional, and so easy to work with. A special shoutout to Nicolle, who did my LaseMD Ultra treatment. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and made the whole experience comfortable from start to finish. Best of all, I had virtually no downtime, and my skin looks noticeably smoother and more polished. I couldn’t be happier with the results and my overall experience!

I visited Swae Medspa for the LaserMD Ultra Skin Resurfacing treatment, and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. The staff was incredibly friendly and thorough, walking me through exactly what to expect before, during, and after the treatment.

It's only been a couple of weeks, but I'm already noticing that my skin is looking smoother. I had a fantastic experience and will absolutely be back for more treatments at Swae. Can't wait to see the full results over the next few weeks!
