As we age, the ligaments under the skin gradually weaken, causing facial sagging and loss of firmness. This is why many people seek dermal ligament rejuvenation. So, what is dermal ligament rejuvenation, how does it work, and why is this method increasingly chosen in skin lifting and rejuvenation treatments? Let’s explore the details in the article below from HBIO Clinic.
What is dermal ligament rejuvenation?
Dental ligament rejuvenation is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that targets the supporting ligament system under the skin, helping to improve sagging skin, lift facial muscles, and firm the skin.

In the facial structure, beneath the skin and fatty tissue are connective ligaments. These ligaments act like a “suspension frame,” holding the soft tissues of the face in place. In youth, this system is very strong, resulting in firm, smooth, and toned skin.
However, over time:
- Collagen and elastin decrease
- The supporting ligaments weaken
- Facial fat shifts downwards
This leads to signs of aging such as:
- Sagging facial skin
- Drowsy cheeks
- Deep smile lines
- Sagging jawline
Lymplasty is a cosmetic procedure that stimulates the restructuring of this supporting system, thereby lifting and improving skin firmness without the need for a facelift.

Is cutaneous ligament rejuvenation really effective?
Is cutaneous ligament rejuvenation really effective? The answer is: yes, it is effective, but not as “miraculous” as advertised, and it depends on the skin condition and the method used.
Popular cutaneous ligament rejuvenation methods today
Currently, with the development of aesthetic medicine technology, many methods can affect the supporting ligament system under the skin, helping to improve sagging skin and lift muscles without surgery. Depending on the degree of skin aging and the skin structure of each individual, the doctor will advise on the most suitable method to achieve the most natural results.

HIFU Lifting Technology
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a skin lifting and rejuvenation technology that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound waves to target the deep tissue layers beneath the skin.
The ultrasound energy creates micro-thermal points in the SMAS layer – the supporting structure often targeted in facelift surgery.
This stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping the skin become firmer and improving sagging.

The advantages of HIFU are that it’s non-surgical, minimally invasive, and requires virtually no downtime, making it suitable for those who want to improve the signs of aging while maintaining their normal activities afterward.
In fact, many clients visiting HBIO Clinic are often advised by doctors to undergo HIFU lifting treatments when their skin begins to show mild to moderate signs of sagging. Depending on skin condition and age, the doctor will develop a suitable treatment plan to help lift and rejuvenate the skin naturally and safely.
Therefore, if you feel your skin condition is not good, you can contact HBIO Clinic for immediate consultation.

RF (Radio Frequency) Technology
RF (Radio Frequency) is a skin rejuvenation technology that uses radio frequency waves to act on the dermis of the skin. When RF energy enters the skin tissue, it generates heat that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, thereby improving elasticity and making the skin firmer.

Thanks to its controlled heating mechanism in the subcutaneous tissue layers, RF technology can help:
- Improve mild skin sagging
- Reduce fine wrinkles
- Increase skin elasticity and firmness
- Support mild lifting and skin rejuvenation
Compared to some other cosmetic procedures, RF is chosen by many because it is less invasive, quick to perform, and requires virtually no downtime. After the procedure, clients can resume normal activities.
At HBIO Clinic, doctors usually assess skin elasticity, the degree of sagging, and the condition of collagen under the skin before advising on the appropriate method. For cases of mild aging, RF technology can be used as a solution to improve skin firmness and support natural facial rejuvenation.

Bio-absorbable Thread Lifting
Bio-absorbable thread lifting is one of the skin rejuvenation methods chosen by many people who want to improve sagging and aging facial skin without surgical facelift.
This method uses specialized bio-absorbable threads inserted under the skin to create a supporting framework for the loose soft tissues.

After being inserted into the skin, the threads will help lift the muscles immediately, while stimulating the body to naturally increase collagen production around the treated area. As a result, the skin is not only better supported but also becomes firmer and more elastic over time.
Bio-thread lifting is often applied to areas prone to signs of aging such as:
- Sagging cheeks
- Deep smile lines
- Undefined chin and jawline
- Loose facial skin
The advantages of this method are the noticeable lifting effect after the procedure, the quick procedure time, and less invasiveness compared to traditional facelift surgery.
Notes when choosing a skin rejuvenation method
Currently, there are many methods to lift and rejuvenate the skin without surgery. However, to achieve good results and ensure safety, you should consider several important factors before choosing a suitable method.

Accurately Assessing Skin Aging
Each person experiences different levels of aging, from mild wrinkles and loss of elasticity to noticeable sagging. Therefore, accurately assessing your skin condition will help you choose the appropriate treatment method, avoiding unnecessary or ineffective procedures.

Pre-treatment consultation and examination
Before deciding on any rejuvenation method, you should have a direct consultation with a doctor to assess your skin structure, the degree of aging, and your overall health. Based on this, the doctor will develop a treatment plan tailored to each individual.
Combining skincare and a healthy lifestyle
Besides cosmetic procedures, maintaining a proper skincare routine, a healthy diet, and limiting sun exposure also play a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin and slowing down the aging process.
Choosing the right skin rejuvenation method not only improves appearance but also contributes to maintaining firm and youthful skin in the long term.
