Your Skin, Firmer Again
Sagging skin and skin laxity can leave you feeling like your appearance no longer reflects how you feel inside. As skin loses firmness, it can soften around the jawline, neck, arms, or other areas, making you look tired or older than you are. Whether it’s due to aging, sun damage, or changes in weight, the shift in your skin’s texture and tone can affect confidence.
Thankfully, you don’t have to settle. At Franklin Skin and Laser in Franklin, TN, we offer a wide range of minimally invasive treatments that tighten skin, stimulate collagen production, and refresh your appearance—without the need for surgery. Led by board-certified surgeon Dr. Steven Bengelsdorf, we bring expert care, advanced technology, and customized plans that give natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
Understanding the Shift
Sagging skin happens when the skin loses elasticity and texture over time. You'll notice loose skin, facial wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and less firmness. It can affect your neck, jawline, arms, and even areas like the thighs or abdomen. It's a common concern that mixes aging, collagen breakdown, and sun damage.
Why Skin Starts to Droop
Several things lead to sagging:
Results That Show
Treating sagging skin and skin laxity can have a powerful impact on your skin’s appearance and overall confidence. These treatments go beyond the surface, working deep within the skin to rebuild collagen, improve elasticity, and create a smoother, tighter look. Benefits include:
You'll enjoy minimal downtime and little redness or swelling, so most patients can get back to normal activities fast. It's a non-surgical, well‑tolerated way to treat visible signs of aging.
Are You a Good Fit?
Are you a good candidate for treatment? These treatments work for people with mild to moderate skin laxity who are healthy, not pregnant, and open to non-surgical options. We'll review your medical history, any allergies, and past cosmetic surgeries or cosmetic procedures. If you’ve had a surgical facelift or severe sagging, we’ll let you know if a surgical route makes more sense. You're likely a good candidate if you:
Prep for Your Glow-Up
During your initial consultation, you’ll sit down with us to discuss what’s bothering you and what kind of results you’re hoping to see. We’ll take a close look at your skin’s texture, elasticity, and tone—on the surface and in deeper layers. We’ll also review your medical history, past treatments, and current skincare products to build a safe, effective treatment plan. To prepare for your treatment, we may recommend pausing certain skincare products, such as retinoids, and avoiding sun exposure or tanning beds. Stay well-hydrated and follow any guidance we provide on medications or supplements. Good prep helps your skin respond better, lowers the risk of irritation, and ensures the treatment goes as smoothly as possible.
Choose Your Plan
We offer a range of non-surgical skin tightening treatments that are safe for all skin types and tailored to your specific concerns.
This handheld device creates tiny micro-injuries to jumpstart collagen. We use topical numbing to keep things comfy. It tightens sagging around the eyes, lips, brow, or neck.
This non-invasive radiofrequency treatment heats deep layers to firm and tone. It works on facial wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and mild loose skin. No downtime, just warm, soothing energy.
This mild microneedling meets RF energy. We use local numbing, then create controlled injuries deep under the skin to trigger collagen and growth factors. Great for cheeks, neck, jawline, and even body areas.
Think RF with microneedles for deeper remodeling. Numbing cream helps comfort. Expect about 45 minutes per session. This can help skin tone and texture around the face, neck, or body.
This picosecond laser targets pigment and tightens. We use topical anesthesia and cooling. It’s gentle and ideal for refining texture or mild laxity.
Dissolvable PDO threads lift and firm by triggering new collagen. Local anesthesia keeps the process comfortable. Results show up over weeks and can last 12–18 months.
Small microneedling devices deliver serums with peptides, amino acids, and growth factors into the treated area. It enhances collagen production, tightens skin, and refines texture with minimal redness.
Medical-grade chemical peels remove the outer layer, even tone, and stimulate collagen. We pick the strength to suit your skin type and goals. Results include tighter texture and a refreshed look.
Firm, Smooth, and Fresh
Most patients see firmer skin in 2–4 weeks. Full benefits show up over 3–6 months as new collagen forms. Results vary, but many enjoy a tighter, healthier skin tone that lasts 12–18 months—especially with boost treatments.
Care That
Keeps You Glowing
After treatments, you might see redness or slight swelling for 1–3 days. We’ll give you post-care tips: sunscreen, gentle skin care, and skipping intense exercise or heat.
You should be able to resume normal activities fast. Depending on the method—laser, threads, microneedling—you may need ice, ointment, or scar-care advice for incision areas or micro‑injuries. We'll check in to track progress and adjust the plan.
