As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity and firmness—leading to sagging, fine lines, and a less defined contour. Skin tightening treatments are designed to restore a youthful, lifted appearance without surgery. But many patients ask: “How long do skin tightening results actually last?” The answer depends on the type of treatment, your skin condition, lifestyle habits, and how well you maintain your results. At Dr. Fazeela Abbasi’s Clinic in Islamabad, we offer customized, medically proven skin tightening solutions—designed to deliver safe, long-lasting results for all skin types.
What Causes Skin Laxity?
Skin begins to lose its firmness due to:
- Natural aging (collagen and elastin breakdown)
- Sun exposure
- Weight fluctuations
- Hormonal changes
- Poor skincare or dehydration
Over time, the skin becomes thinner, looser, and less resilient—especially around the face, jawline, neck, arms, and abdomen.
Why Customized Skin Tightening Matters
Different skin types and laxity levels require tailored approaches. At Dr. Fazeela Abbasi’s Clinic, we choose the safest and most effective tightening treatment based on your:
- Skin tone and texture
- Degree of sagging
- Age and lifestyle
- Desired outcome
This ensures natural-looking results without over-tightening or risking damage—especially for melanin-rich skin.
