Why does skin thin and sag with age?

As we age, the body produces less collagen and elastin, the structural proteins that keep skin firm, plump, and resilient. This process accelerates significantly during perimenopause and menopause, when declining estrogen reduces collagen production by up to 30 percent in the first five years after menopause. The result is skin that appears thinner, looser, and less able to bounce back.

What treatments does Bonita offer for skin tightening and lifting?

We offer several clinically supported options for skin tightening, including Potenza RF microneedling (which combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel collagen in the deeper layers of skin), eCO2 fractional laser resurfacing, and cosmetic injectables such as dermal fillers to restore lost volume and structural support. The right combination depends on the degree of laxity and the areas you want to address.

Can injectables help with saggy skin?

Yes, in many cases. Volume loss is a significant driver of sagging and hollowing in the face. Strategically placed dermal fillers can restore the underlying structure that keeps skin lifted, without stretching or pulling. This requires an experienced injector with a strong understanding of facial anatomy. Our Nurse Practitioner, Jessica Caceres, NP, takes a whole-face, anatomically informed approach to every injectable treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

RF microneedling protocols typically involve a series of 3 to 6 sessions, with results continuing to improve over 3 to 6 months as collagen is remodelled. Dermal fillers produce more immediate results. We will give you a realistic treatment plan at your consultation.

At what age should I start treating skin laxity?

There is no single right answer. Many clients find that starting earlier with preventive collagen-stimulating treatments produces the best long-term results. If you are in your late 30s or 40s and noticing the early signs of laxity, now is an excellent time to begin. Significant improvements are achievable at any age.

Can I combine skin tightening treatments with hormone therapy?

Yes, and this combination is often particularly effective. Hormone therapy supports collagen production from the inside, while skin tightening treatments stimulate it from the outside. Many of our clients pursue both and find the results are more sustained than either approach alone.
