Loose or sagging skin is a natural part of aging, but age isn’t the only factor. Collagen and elastin loss, sun exposure, genetics, weight changes, and changes in facial volume can all affect how firm the skin looks over time.
At The Kaga Institute, Dr. Mira Kaga and her team offer non-surgical treatments designed to improve loose skin by stimulating collagen and supporting gradual skin remodeling. The goal isn’t to change how you look, but to create firmer, smoother, more natural-looking contours.
What causes loose skin?
As we age, the skin gradually produces less collagen and elastin—the proteins responsible for its structure, firmness, and elasticity. Over time, this can lead to laxity around the cheeks, jawline, neck, abdomen, and other areas of the body.
Sun damage can accelerate this process, while weight loss, hormonal changes, genetics, and changes in facial volume can make laxity more noticeable.

Secret™ RF Microneedling combines microneedling with controlled radiofrequency energy delivered beneath the skin’s surface. The treatment creates controlled micro-injuries while delivering RF energy at targeted depths, stimulating new collagen and elastin as the skin heals. Over time, this remodeling process can help improve firmness, fine lines and wrinkles, and overall skin tone and texture. Secret RF can be customized for different treatment areas and skin concerns, making it an option for patients who want noticeable skin rejuvenation without surgery.
When should I consider skin tightening?
You don’t need to wait until skin laxity becomes significant. Some patients begin treatments when they first notice subtle changes in firmness, while others seek treatment for more established sagging.
Age alone doesn’t determine whether you’re a good candidate. Your skin quality, degree of laxity, treatment area, and ability to produce new collagen are more important considerations. During your consultation, Dr. Kaga’s team can determine whether RF microneedling is appropriate or whether another treatment would better address your concerns.
Can I prevent loose skin?
Skin aging can’t be completely prevented, but certain habits can help protect collagen and slow visible changes. Daily sun protection is particularly important because cumulative UV exposure contributes to collagen breakdown and premature aging. Avoiding smoking, maintaining a stable weight, eating a balanced diet, and following an appropriate skincare routine can also support long-term skin health. Professional treatments can complement these habits by stimulating collagen that skincare alone cannot replace.
