I am 5’4 and 121lbs. I believe I have Ehlers-Danlos but need a formal diagnosis. I struggled with severe skin picking for 13 years but am recovering from that. My skin is very stretchy and my cheeks are sagging into my jaw and worsening my double chin. When sitting down and relaxing, my face practically sinks into my neck. I would prefer to avoid spending thousands on procedures but it’s only getting worse. I’ve had microneedling in the past for my acne scars- could it help w tightening too?
Answer: Would microneedling help tighten my sagging cheeks, chin and jaw? 32 y/o female (photos) Microneedling can help improve skin texture and stimulate collagen production, which may offer some tightening benefits for sagging skin. However, with your unique skin characteristics, particularly if you have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, the skin’s elasticity and response to treatments may differ from typical expectations. While microneedling can help with mild skin laxity, it may not provide the level of tightening you're hoping for in more advanced cases of sagging.

Answer: Considering options First you want to rule out Ehlers-Danlos before deciding on a treatment. Two options to consder are FaceTite and Morpheus8. FaceTite uses RF technology to tighten skin. It is great for those with mild to moderate skin laxity but who are not quite ready for a face lift. Morpheus8 can be used separately or together with FaceTite. I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Microneeding combined with radio frequency treatments such as Morpheus8 can help tighten and define the face. Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Answer: RF Microneedling Hey there! Microneedling is an amazing collagen-stimulating treatment, but for significant skin laxity in the cheeks, chin, and jawline, it’s usually not strong enough on its own to create noticeable tightening.,
