Sagging skin is a common problem in the field of aesthetic medicine, often related to the aging process, weight loss or pregnancy . Advances in medical technology have led to the development of various treatments for sagging skin, with Scarlet radiofrequency, CO2 lasersand Erbium laser therapy as well as treatment with intense pulsed light (IPL ) proving to be effective options for restoring firmness – without surgery.
Treatment for sagging skin is offered in our practices in Baden-Baden and Stuttgart .

SCARLET RADIO FREQUENCY
Scarlet radiofrequency is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin . The treatment uses special microneedles that deliver radiofrequency energy to the target areas. The controlled thermal injury triggers the body’s natural wound healing response, which leads to new collagen formation and skin tightening .
This treatment is effective for mild to moderate problems with sagging skin. The controlled microneedling and radiofrequency energy make it a versatile option for different skin types and tones.
CO2 LASER AND ERBIUM LASER
Both CO2 and erbium lasers work according to the principle of fractional laser resurfacing. These lasers emit high-energy light beams that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin surface. As the skin heals, it produces new collagenand elastin fibers, resulting in improved skin structure, tone and elasticity . CO2 lasers are more aggressive and are generally used for more severe cases of sagging skin, while erbium lasers are milder and suitable for moderate cases.
These lasers are therefore suitable for people with moderate to severe skin laxity, as they penetrate deeper into the tissue and deliver more dramatic results. However, they are associated with a longer recovery period and possible side effects.
INTENSE PULSED LIGHT THERAPY (IPL)
IPL treatment uses a broad spectrum of light to combat sagging skin as well as other skin problems. The light energy penetrates the surface of the skin and stimulates collagen production in the underlying skin layers. In addition, IPL therapy can improve irregularities in skin pigmentation and enhance the overall appearance and firmness of the skin.
IPL is suitable for people with mild to moderate skin laxity and pigmentation problems. It is often chosen by people who want a non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime. The versatility of IPL treatment for various skin problems makes it particularly attractive.
TREATMENT STEPS
In a personalized consultation , we select the most suitable treatment option together based on the individual skin type, concerns and expectations.
Certain guidelines must be followed before treatment, such as avoiding sun exposure and refraining from using certain skin care products.
During the treatment session, the selected device (Scarlet radiofrequency, CO2 laser, Erbium laser or IPL) is applied to the target tissue. The duration of the treatment depends on the chosen modality and the size of the treatment area.
After the treatment, follow the instructions for aftercare, which we will discuss with you on site.
RECOVERY TIME
The recovery time varies depending on the treatment selected. Scarlet radiofrequency and IPL treatments generally have minimal downtime , while CO2 and erbium lasers may require a recovery period of several days to a week . The visible results are gradually noticeable as the body’s own collagen production is stimulated and the skin is rebuilt.
Depending on the treatment plan, several sessions may be recommended to achieve optimal results. The follow-up sessions usually take place at intervals of several weeks.
