Skin concern

Loose or sagging skin

Loose, crepey or lax skin — on the neck, jawline, décolletage, upper arms, knees and around the eyes — is one of the most common changes of ageing, and one of the harder ones to improve without surgery. Plasma fibroblast technology now offers genuine non-surgical tightening for the areas where it works well, with results that last years rather than months.

Plasma fibroblast skin tightening on crepey décolletage before and after one treatment by Lorraine, Gold Coast

Why skin loosens — and where it shows first

Skin firmness depends on collagen and elastin, and from your late 30s onwards the skin makes less of both. Add years of Australian sun, hormonal change, and sometimes weight loss or pregnancy, and the skin gradually loses its spring. It tends to show first in the thinnest, most-exposed areas: the upper and lower eyelids, the neck and jawline, and the crepey skin of the décolletage.

Surgery can address severe laxity, but it's a big step. For early-to-moderate laxity, plasma fibroblast offers a non-surgical route that genuinely tightens — and for many people, delays or removes the need to think about surgery at all.

How Lorraine tightens loose skin

Lorraine's main treatment for loose skin is plasma fibroblast skin tightening — applied to the neck, jawline, décolletage, upper arms and elsewhere. A controlled grid of plasma points contracts the skin immediately and triggers fresh collagen over the following weeks. For loose upper-eyelid skin specifically, see the dedicated plasma eye lift. For milder laxity and texture, microneedling can also help through collagen stimulation.

What causes it

What causes loose and crepey skin

Most causes are a normal part of ageing. Understanding the degree of laxity helps Lorraine judge whether non-surgical tightening will give you the result you want.

Collagen and elastin decline

The fundamental cause. As the skin produces less collagen and elastin with age, it loses firmness and elasticity, beginning to sag and crepe — most visibly on the neck, jaw and around the eyes.

Sun damage

Years of UV exposure break down collagen and accelerate skin laxity — a major factor in Australia, especially on the décolletage and the backs of the hands.

Hormonal change

Menopause in particular speeds up the loss of skin firmness, so neck and jawline laxity can seem to advance noticeably over a relatively short window.

Weight loss and pregnancy

Significant weight loss or pregnancy can leave looser skin once the underlying volume changes — commonly on the abdomen, upper arms and jawline.

How we treat this

How plasma fibroblast tightens skin

Lorraine's primary treatment for loose skin is plasma fibroblast skin tightening, with the eye lift for the eyelids specifically.

1. Immediate contraction. A precise grid of plasma points tightens the skin on the spot — you see some lift on the day. You see some lift on the day of treatment; the same technique is used on the neck, jawline, décolletage and elsewhere.

2. Collagen renewal. Over 8–12 weeks the skin produces fresh collagen and continues to firm, developing the full result, which typically lasts 2–3 years.

3. Honest assessment. Plasma fibroblast works best on early-to-moderate laxity and defined areas like the jawline and neck. For severe sagging, Lorraine will be straight with you about whether a surgical option would serve you better.

What to expect

What to expect

  1. Consultation and assessment

    Lorraine assesses the area and degree of laxity and gives an honest view on whether plasma fibroblast will achieve what you want, or whether a surgical opinion makes more sense. Pricing is confirmed here, on consultation.

  2. The treatment

    Topical numbing first, then a grid of plasma points placed across the area. Treatment length depends on the area — a defined jawline is quicker than a full neck or décolletage. Small carbon dots form at each point.

  3. About a week of downtime

    The dots shed naturally over 5–10 days — don't pick them — with some swelling early on. Plan roughly a week of social downtime per area treated.

  4. Full result over 8–12 weeks

    Collagen continues to build for weeks after treatment. Most areas need one to three sessions spaced about eight weeks apart, each booked and paid separately.

FAQs

Common questions about loose skin

Can plasma fibroblast replace a face or neck lift?

For mild-to-moderate laxity, often yes — many clients get the tightening they wanted without surgery. For severe sagging, a surgical lift may still be the better option. Lorraine gives an honest assessment at consultation rather than over-promising.

How long do the results last?

Typically 2–3 years. The new collagen is long-lasting, but natural ageing continues, so many clients book a refresh after a few years to maintain the result.

How much downtime is there?

About a week of visible healing per area treated — small scabs that shed naturally over 5–10 days, with mild swelling early on. Most clients plan their treatment around roughly a week of social downtime.

Which areas can be treated?

Commonly the neck, jawline, décolletage, upper arms, and the skin around the eyes. Results are strongest on smaller, defined areas and on early-to-moderate laxity. Lorraine will advise what's realistic for your specific concern at consultation.

Is there an age limit?

No — clients in their 60s, 70s and beyond can have plasma fibroblast provided overall health is good. The honest assessment at consultation includes whether plasma is enough for the degree of laxity present, or whether a surgical option would serve you better.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is provided on consultation, as it depends on the area treated and the number of sessions needed. Each session is booked and paid on its own — there's no package. The consultation is the easiest way to get a clear answer for your specific case.
