Have you noticed that after you turn 25, you start to see fine lines and wrinkles on your face in the mirror? Your skin is no longer as tight and smooth as before, and even starts to sag? These facial skin sagging and aging phenomena are inevitable challenges as we go by. Whether it is natural aging, environmental pollution, or bad living habits, they are quietly accelerating this process. Why does our skin become loose over time? What methods can help us fight this natural phenomenon?
Introduction
Skin sagging is an inevitable phenomenon in the aging process. When people are over 25 years old, the synthesis rate of collagen in the skin will gradually fail to keep up with the loss rate. Coupled with the influence of environmental pollution and improper use of cosmetics, the collagen content in the dermis is gradually reduced, causing the facial skin to begin to sag. Collagen is like a universal glue for the skin, maintaining its firmness and elasticity. But as we age, the loss of collagen exceeds the replenishment rate, just like a rubber band losing its elasticity, the skin begins to sag, and fine lines and pores gradually appear like cracks in a field. Additionally, the ligaments and SMAS layers (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) of the face also begin to degenerate over time. These once strong fibrous structures supported our facial contours like bodyguards. However, over time, they lose their original strength, causing facial tissues to begin to slide down, making the cheeks and jawline wider. In addition, the facial bones also change with age. As the supporting framework of the face, bones gradually change and even shrink like weathered rocks, which further causes the facial skin to loosen and sag.
Protein reduction The dermis of the skin contains two key proteins: collagen and elastin, which maintain the plumpness and firmness of the skin. However, starting from the age of 25, as we age, the production rate of these proteins gradually cannot keep up with the loss rate, causing the skin to lose elasticity and the fibers between cells to gradually degenerate. Decreased support Fat and muscle are the main supporting structures of the skin. With aging, weight loss, unbalanced nutrition and lack of exercise, subcutaneous fat is lost and muscles become loose, causing the skin to lose its support and sag. Other factors
Areas of loose skin can begin to appear on the face and body, showing as slightly sagging, loose skin. They are most common around the jawline, neck, shoulder blades, thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. Aging doesn’t happen overnight, but is a slow and silent process that begins in our twenties. Many people mistakenly believe that aging is only about old age, but in fact, it is more like a long marathon. Starting from adolescence, factors such as our hormone levels, gene expression, and metabolism begin to play an important role in this “aging movie.” Although aging is a natural process and there is nothing wrong with letting nature take its course, modern technology provides us with many options to delay aging. People of different ages can choose different anti-aging methods to maintain the firmness and elasticity of their skin. Ai Beauty Clinic in London, UK, offers a range of non-surgical and– invasive skin tightening treatments, such as genuine ultrasonic knife, fifth-generation Thermage, Sofwave, European Star Fotona 4D Pro and laser radiofrequency therapy . These methods stimulate the regeneration of collagen and effectively improve the aging and sagging of the skin. At the same time, water light injection, autologous serum injection, Profhilo five-point lifting injection, hyaluronic acid filling and botulinum toxin wrinkle removal can also help restore the skin to a youthful state. As collagen is gradually regenerated, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more youthful overall. Combination treatments and regular sessions can better replenish the skin’s natural collagen reserves for long-lasting anti-aging results.

A. Facial Ultrasound
Introduction:
MERZ ULTHERAPY® is not a real scalpel, but a thermal therapy method. Its focused ultrasound technology can directly reach the fascia layer, stimulate the self-renewal mechanism of skin tissue, and achieve a series of rejuvenation effects such as skin tightening, increased elasticity, lifting of loose skin, wrinkle reduction, skin whitening, lightening and even fading of spots. Therefore, while tightening the loose skin on the face, it also has a certain fat-reducing and face-slimming effect. While doing the ultrasonic scalpel on the face and neck, the fat-reducing effect on the double chin at the junction is also very good, which can make the jaw line more visible.
Working principle:
Facial ultrasound knife can input precise ultrasonic energy at 4.5MM, 3.0MM, and 1.5MM below the skin in layers, so that tissue cells can produce high thermal energy effects through friction, and condense thermal energy into tiny “hot spots”. These “hot spots” will stimulate the self-renewal mechanism of skin tissue, stimulate the increase of collagen self-synthesis, tissue filling and remodeling, and enhance the elasticity of collagen fibers and elastic fibers, which can comprehensively improve skin aging and sagging.
process:
1. Face-to-face consultation: Develop an ultrasonic scalpel treatment plan based on personal conditions and needs.
2. Apply anesthetic: Apply anesthetic externally, clean and disinfect the treatment area.
3. Preoperative preparation: Design the treatment area by drawing lines and adjust the treatment parameters according to the patient’s facial aging symptoms.
4. Intraoperative treatment: Ultrasonic knife skin tightening and wrinkle removal treatment is performed on the selected treatment area.
5. Postoperative repair: hospital-grade medical repair mask + QDEL phototherapy mask repair.
6. Precautions after surgery.
Duration: 1.5-2 hours
Suitable for the crowd:
- People with blurred jawline due to aging.
- People with severe facial sagging and drooping, resulting in a blurred jawline.
- People with double chins attached to their necks;
- People who want to stimulate collagen regeneration from the root because injections cannot completely solve the problem.
- People who want a clear jawline and long-term comprehensive anti-aging and wrinkle removal.
- People who are not looking for short-term immediate results and have sufficient budget.
We use the genuine American version of Merz Ultherapy® ultrasonic scalpel, have reached a strategic cooperation with the Merz Group, receive regular professional training, and have received strong support and absolute recognition from the Ultherapy ultrasonic scalpel head office.
Ai Beauty Ultrasound Knife:
B. Thermage for face
Introduction:
Thermage, also known as radiofrequency skin tightening, uses radiofrequency current to act on the skin tissue, stimulating the synthesis of new collagen and reconstructing the collagen scaffold, thereby achieving a comprehensive anti-aging effect of improving wrinkles, tightening the skin, and lifting and reshaping the contour. The face-lifting effect is similar to the ultrasonic knife, which can tighten sagging flesh while lifting and tightening, achieving a certain face-lifting and shaping effect, and can also achieve a clear contour and outline the jawline.
Working principle:
The essence of Thermage is radio frequency. During treatment, the patented Thermage FLX treatment probe is used to apply radio frequency energy directly and precisely to the dermis, heating the dermis to 65℃~75℃, stimulating the body to start the self-repair mechanism. A large amount of collagen in the dermis is generated, and an immediate firming effect is produced, making the skin instantly firm.
process:
- Face-to-face consultation: Thermage treatment plan is developed based on personal situation and needs.
- Preoperative preparation: Clean and disinfect the treatment area, and print the treatment “grid”. Before the operation, confirm that the treatment head is brand new and unopened.
- Intraoperative treatment: Thermage skin tightening and wrinkle removal treatment is performed on the selected treatment area.
- Postoperative repair: QDEL light therapy mask repair.
- Postoperative precautions.
Duration: 1.5-2 hours
Suitable for the crowd:
1. People with blurred jawline due to aging.
2. People with severe facial sagging and blurred jawline.
3. People who want to stimulate collagen regeneration from the root because injections of medical aesthetics cannot completely solve the problem.
4. People who want a clear jawline and long-term comprehensive anti-aging and wrinkle removal.
5. People who do not pursue short-term immediate results and have sufficient budget.
It uses the latest version of the fifth-generation Thermage FLX. As one of the first official certification agencies in Europe to introduce the fifth-generation Thermage, its clinical experience with Thermage FLX ranks first in the UK.
Ai Beauty Thermage:
C. Sofwave
Introduction:
Sofwave has accumulated more than 100,000 clinical cases with excellent results. It is known as the “all-round king of anti-aging”. It is the only instrument on the market that can treat fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck skin without invasive operations through SUPERB™ (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) synchronous ultrasonic parallel beam technology. It is also the world’s only 3D stereo ultrasonic innovative technology (Intense Ultrasound Beam Technology, referred to as IUB technology). Through 7 high-energy, parallel, low-scattering ultrasonic beams, it concentrates energy into the dermis of the skin, triggering the regeneration of collagen and elastin in the dermis. It not only solves problems such as fine lines and wrinkles for people at one time, but also can lift eyebrows and loose jaw and neck tissues.
Working principle:
The cylindrical ultrasound beam of the Sofwave makes the temperature of the dermis reach about 60 to 70 degrees Celsius to stimulate the tightening of collagen and fibrin. In the process of healing after dermal tissue damage, it promotes the production of new collagen and elastin. Thus, fine lines are reduced and wrinkles are improved, and the skin is firmer. At the same time, the cooling system of the probe will keep the epidermis at a low temperature to avoid thermal damage.
process:
1. Face-to-face consultation: Develop a treatment plan based on individual circumstances and needs.
2. Preoperative preparation: Clean and disinfect the treatment area, and apply anesthetic as needed.
3. Intraoperative treatment: Treatment is performed on the selected treatment area, and treatment parameters are adjusted according to the patient’s facial aging symptoms.

简介:
轮廓针,通常多用肉毒素或是玻尿酸在下颌缘处进行施打,从而紧致面颊两侧,勾出更为清晰完美的下颌线轮廓。面部肌肉多为条状肌肉,有收缩力,而肉毒素正是可以阻断神经与肌肉的神经冲动,麻痹过于发达的肌肉使之收缩,在肌肉的中间打,中间就松弛向两边拉紧,在下边打,上边就拉紧,上边打下边就拉紧,这就是肉毒素调整面部肌肉平衡力的基本原理。
作用原理:
轮廓针使用肉毒素的原理就是多点调整面部肌肉群,通过选择性松弛面部特定肌肉的某个或多个节点,从而调节相关肌肉,让肌肉带动面部皮肤起到提拉拽的作用,实际上是巧妙利用了人体肌肉本身的张力和肉毒素自身的作用原理。肉毒素可以通过减弱颈阔肌降肌的作用提升下面部轮廓,进行下颌缘提升,从而拉出紧致无死角的V脸轮廓。
流程:
1、面诊:由医生结合面部情况判断是否适合打肉毒轮廓针。
2、术前准备:局部敷麻药,清洁、消毒注射部位。确认药品。

E. 面部线雕
简介:
线雕是目前比较有效的提拉手段了,用可被人体吸收溶解的蛋白线植入到皮肤真皮下层,根据线的间隔和方向提升面部的线条,通过线本身对皮肤的刺激,皮肤内的纤维亚细胞被激活,产生胶原蛋白。面部线雕提拉能重新提拉皮肤支撑力,降低皮肤下垂程度,刺激胶原蛋白新生,主攻下垂软组织。
作用原理:
通过收紧下颌缘/颈阔肌皮肤、减少面部脂肪堆积,综合治疗,多效合一,从而达到改善下颌缘皮肤松弛下垂、下颌缘肥大等问题,提升下颌缘清晰度,重塑锐利的颏颈角,再现如赫本般优雅v型的紧致下颌。
