Skin Firming & Lift

Facial skin tightening treatments aim to improve firmness, elasticity, and contour by stimulating collagen and elastin production. At City Clinic Marbella, we use non-surgical technologies such as radiofrequency, laser rejuvenation, and microneedling to lift and smooth the skin naturally.

As we age, the skin loses structural support due to decreased collagen, elastin, and hydration. This leads to visible laxity around the cheeks, jawline, and neck. Our approach combines targeted energy-based devices with biostimulatory skincare to activate the skin’s natural regeneration.

The result is firmer, more lifted skin, improved jawline definition, and a rejuvenated appearance — without surgery or long recovery times.

Indications

Facial laxity or sagging skin

Loss of jawline definition

Mild to moderate skin drooping (cheeks, neck, chin)

Fine lines and texture irregularities

Skin lacking firmness and elasticity

Causes

Natural aging and collagen breakdown

Sun exposure and oxidative stress

Lifestyle factors like smoking or stress

Volume loss in facial support structures

Endolaser Treatment

Endolaser is a minimally invasive laser procedure that applies laser energy beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production, tighten tissues and improve skin tone and elasticity. It is one of the most effective methods to treat flaccidity, localised fat and varicose veins, providing visible rejuvenation and firmness without surgery.

Stretch Marks

Stretch marks (striae) are linear scars formed in the dermis when skin is rapidly stretched or shrinks, resulting in thin, reddish or whitish lines. Stretch mark treatment aims to reduce their visibility and improve skin texture and tone.

Skin Flaccidity

Skin flaccidity (or body laxity) refers to loose, sagging skin on the body that has lost elasticity and firmness. At City Clinic, our firming treatments aim to restore tone, enhance the silhouette and improve skin texture.

Cellulite Reduction

Cellulite reduction is an aesthetic treatment aimed at improving the appearance of dimpled, uneven skin (often called “orange‑peel” skin) by treating fat lobules, fibrous septae and dermal texture. At City Clinic, we help patients smooth and firm their skin surface through proven methods.
