Mild loss of firmness

Skin firmness loss results from the natural decline of collagen and elastin starting at age 30, accelerated by sun exposure, oxidative stress, and hormonal changes. The dermal matrix weakens, support fibers degrade, and skin becomes laxer. This process is progressive but manageable with preventive and regenerative treatments tailored to your needs.

At Santé, we combine three protocols based on laxity severity: HIFU (focused ultrasound) stimulates deep collagen without invasion; Radiesse (calcium hydroxyapatite) provides immediate volume and lifting effect; Sculptra (polylactic acid) induces progressive collagen synthesis. Personalized assessment determines which treatment or combination works best for your case.

With HIFU: 1–2 sessions with visible results at 2–3 weeks and progressive improvement through 3 months. Radiesse: immediate effect after injection, optimized by day 15. Sculptra: requires 3 sessions (every 4–6 weeks) with maximum results at 3–4 months. Duration depends on the chosen protocol and your skin type.

HIFU generates controlled heat, generally well-tolerated. Radiesse and Sculptra require topical anesthesia with minimal discomfort. Downtime is virtually none—resume normal activity immediately. Avoid intense sun for 48 hours and vigorous exercise for 24 hours. No age restrictions, though most effective from age 35–40 onward.
