LOOSE SKIN
What is Loose Skin?
What Are The Common Causes of Loose Skin?
Loose skin occurs mainly due to the natural process of ageing. Our skin loses 1% of collagen every year after age 20. For women, during the first 5 years of menopause, we lose up to 30%, followed by 2% each year thereafter.

- Weight Loss: Rapid weight loss or fluctuations can cause the skin to lose its elasticity, resulting in loose skin.
- Pregnancy: The stretching of the skin during pregnancy, combined with hormonal changes, can contribute to loose skin.
- Genetics: Some individuals are genetically predisposed to have less elastic skin, making them more prone to developing loose skin.
- Sun exposure and pollution: Constant exposure to sun and pollutants can degrade the collagen in our skin, gradually leading to loose skin

Loose Skin Treatment Options in Singapore
Whether you’re looking for non-invasive solutions or more intensive treatment there is a wide range of treatments for loose skin catered just to you. At illumia, we focus on providing safe and non-surgical skin tightening treatments, ranging from radiofrequency to derma fillers.
Radiofrequency Therapy
Radiofrequency treatments use radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening loose skin. It prompts the body’s natural healing response for firmer and more youthful-looking skin. Our list of radiofrequency treatments can tighten loose skin under the chin, under arms, belly and thighs.
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy delivers focused ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of the skin, generating heat and triggering collagen production. This non-invasive treatment effectively lifts and tightens loose skin in the face and belly by stimulating the body’s natural regenerative processes, resulting in smoother and more toned skin.
Laser Therapy
By using concentrated light energy to penetrate deep into the skin, laser therapy stimulates collagen production and enhances skin texture and elasticity effectively. This treatment can be tailored to different skin types and areas, making it an excellent option for loose-face skin treatment in Singapore, resulting in firmer, tighter skin.
Skin Boosters
Skin boosters, often containing hyaluronic acid, are injected into the skin to improve hydration, elasticity, and overall texture. By replenishing lost moisture and stimulating collagen synthesis, skin boosters help tighten loose skin from within, resulting in a revitalised and rejuvenated appearance.
Derma Fillers
Dermal fillers plump and tighten loose skin, especially on the face and hands. They use hyaluronic acid to add volume, stimulate collagen, and restore firmness, enhancing skin elasticity and suppleness with natural-looking results and minimal downtime. At Illumia Medical, we offer a full list of dermal filler treatments to meet your aesthetic goals.
