Our exceptional experience treating facial sagging
Facial sagging and deep nasolabial folds are common concerns, especially for older patients experiencing accelerated collagen loss due to menopause, genetics, or lifestyle factors like sun exposure and smoking. These changes, combined with skin laxity and shifting fat pads, can give the face a heavier, aged appearance. For those affected, traditional cosmetic treatments may fall short, making advanced solutions that rebuild collagen and tighten skin essential for restoring natural, youthful contours and boosting confidence.
Sharing his techniques and results with other Doctors and Nurses, Dr. Scott Allison attends domestic and international conferences, passionate about achieving exceptional results. Our team at Ascension are trained by Dr. Allison, using effective, patient-tailored techniques to maintain a high level of care.
“Improving skin elasticity, restoring balance and enhancing natural support structures not only minimises sagging but also softens nasolabial folds and other markers of ageing. This holistic approach ensures a refreshed, youthful appearance that is both subtle and enduring.” – Dr. Scott Allison.

Areas of concern /
Multiple factors can contribute to facial sagging, and it is crucial for your Practitioner to thoroughly evaluate the underlying cause to determine the most suitable treatment for you. During your consultation, we work with you to understand your facial anatomy and unique aesthetic needs and goals. A personalised treatment plan will then be developed to address facial sagging concerns.
Jowls
Sagging jowls occur as collagen and elastin decline, causing the jawline to lose definition. Factors like sun damage and genetics can amplify these changes. Holistic approaches help gently tighten the area, enhancing a youthful, refreshed appearance.
Nasolabial Folds
Nasolabial folds deepen as skin loses elasticity and facial fat pads shift downward. Supporting the cheeks and midface can naturally lift and soften these lines.
Eyelids
Drooping eyelids can make the eyes look tired and less vibrant, often caused by weakened skin and muscles with age. Restoring elasticity and lift, can brighten the eyes for a more youthful, energised appearance.
Your consultation at our Brisbane clinic
During your initial consultation, various aspects will be discussed to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the procedure and your specific needs. The consultation allows us to discuss expectations openly and create a treatment plan you can approve.
Firstly, your cosmetic concerns and treatment goals will be discussed. We will listen attentively to gain insight into what you hope to achieve through treating your under-eye concerns. This discussion allows us to explain what can be realistically achieved.
Next, we will thoroughly examine your facial features, asking about the areas of your face where you have concerns regarding darkness and hollowing. We will carefully evaluate your facial anatomy, taking note of bone structure, fat pads and skin laxity. This assessment helps us to determine the appropriate treatment plan required. We may also inquire about any allergies or previous cosmetic treatments. This information is crucial for determining your eligibility for the procedure.
The consultation will also involve a discussion about the procedure itself, including the recommended treatments, the expected duration of the results, and any potential risks or side effects. We can explain the technique involved, ensuring you understand the process and know what to expect during and after the treatment.
Finally, the financial aspect will be discussed. We will provide information about the cost of the treatment, any potential additional expenses, and the expected longevity of the results. We can also discuss the option of follow-up treatments and maintenance. Your treatment costs will depend on the personalised details of your procedure, so it is best to wait until having your consultation before making calculations.
Clinical PathwaysAnd Recommendations
Recommended treatments
At Ascension, we provide comprehensive cosmetic consultations, where your comfort, aesthetic preferences, facial anatomy and skin health are all considered to provide an ideal treatment plan tailored to your needs. You may benefit from a combination approach utilising different treatment methods and a number of sessions, which we will discuss during your consultation.
WonderFace
WonderFace is a groundbreaking, non-invasive facial toning and rejuvenation treatment that lifts, sculpts and smooths the face in just 30 minutes. As the only treatment to synchronise neuromuscular stimulation with radiofrequency (RF) technology, WonderFace works beyond the surface, targeting both the skin and underlying muscles for real, lasting results. Neuromuscular stimulation strengthens and tones facial muscles, enhancing definition and restoring volume, while RF technology boosts collagen and elastin production to firm and tighten the skin.
There is no recovery time after a Wonderface session and results can be seen immediately with ongoing improvements.
Ultraformer MPT
Using the latest in high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology, the Ultraformer MPT contributes to facial lifting, skin tightening and facial contouring. It’s a versatile non-invasive procedure using ultrasound waves to target and breakdown fat cells in the lower third of the face, while also promoting the production of collagen to tighten the skin.
Depending on the amount of facial sagging in the target areas, 2 – 3 sessions of Ultraformer MPT are usually recommended to contour the face. Results can continue to be seen up to six months after the treatment, however you may benefit from maintenance sessions as time goes on.
Morpheus8
With a combined approach, using microneedling and radio-frequency (RF) technology, Morpheus8 works to trigger the body’s natural healing response. When the body’s natural healing response is triggered, the production of collagen and elastin increases, which can have a skin-tightening effect.
To sufficiently tighten the skin, you may need multiple treatment sessions with Morpheus8. Morpheus8 can treat skin laxity on the face and multiple areas of the body. Downtime after treatment is minimal, with some minor redness and discomfort subsiding quickly after treatment.
FaceTite
FaceTite uses radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL), with a few small incisions. The treatment can remove unwanted fat while simultaneously stimulating collagen and elastin production, prompting the skin to tighten.
The treatment can be a suitable alternative to a traditional facelift, using fewer incisions. FaceTite can treat areas of the lower face, including the cheeks, jawline and chin. Since the treatment does require incisions, downtime can include some swelling and bruising, but your personalised aftercare instructions will help you support your body’s healing process.
