Saggy Skin Solutions in Montreal — by Ideal Body Clinic

Last updated September 8, 2025

The problem

Skin starts to look “loose” when collagen and elastin decline and the deeper support system relaxes. Effective non-surgical treatments work by tightening existing fibers and prompting new collagen to form. Radiofrequency, ultrasound and lasers do this by delivering controlled heat to precise skin layers.

Solution 1: triLift® — tone + tighten in one visit

What it is: A non-surgical facial treatment that tones facial muscles and applies radiofrequency (RF) heat to the skin to improve contour and firmness.
Why it helps sagging: Muscle toning improves definition (cheeks/jaw), while RF warms the dermis to stimulate fresh collagen for tighter-looking skin over a short series.

Best for: Early jowls, softer jawline, cheek definition.
Downtime: Minimal.

Solution 2: Sofwave® — ultrasound lift with little downtime

What it is: Focused ultrasound creates tiny heat points in the mid-dermis to trigger collagen.
Why it helps sagging: Clinically proven and FDA-cleared to lift the brow, under-chin (submental) and neck and to improve facial lines—results build over weeks.

Best for: Mild–moderate laxity of the brow, jawline/under-chin, and neck.
Downtime: Little to none.

Solution 3: Fotona® 4D — inside-out laser tightening

What it is: A dual-wavelength laser protocol that treats from the outside and inside the mouth to contract collagen now and stimulate more over time.
Why it helps sagging: “Inside-out” heating tightens and rejuvenates lower-face skin (smile lines, cheek support) with low downtime.

Best for: Lower-face laxity and smile-line softening.
Downtime: Low.

Solution 4: RF Microneedling — texture + tightening

What it is: Very fine needles deliver radiofrequency energy beneath the surface to remodel collagen.
Why it helps sagging: Produces progressive dermal remodeling and tightening that can keep improving for up to ~6 months; can be paired with other devices and is suitable for darker skin types when done correctly.

Best for: Mild–moderate laxity plus pores, scars, or fine lines.
Downtime: Usually 1–3 days of redness/swelling.

Solution 5: Thread Lift — instant repositioning (not a machine)

What it is: Dissolvable threads placed under the skin to gently lift soft tissue and stimulate collagen as they fade.
Why it helps sagging: Provides immediate support for mild laxity along the mid-face/jawline while your skin builds new collagen for added hold

Best for: Early jowls and mid-lower face that need repositioning.
Downtime: Brief.

What to expect (realistic outcomes)

Build, don’t rush: Non-surgical tightening improves gradually as collagen matures (often 3–6 months). RF microneedling shows continued improvement at 6 months in clinical reviews.
Often better together: Combining depths (e.g., triLift for contour + Sofwave or Fotona for dermal tightening) addresses both support and skin for a more natural result. (Mechanisms supported by manufacturer clinical overviews for each device.)
Safety first: These are medical treatments; outcomes depend on correct device choice and settings for your skin.
