What is skin tightening treatment?

 

Skin tighteningtreatments have become very popular in the recent times because they provide a non surgical alternative to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, tighten the loose skin, and also to tone the sagging skin on the face, neck, back roll, chest, arms, front and back thighs, abdomen and buttocks. The treatment encourages the regeneration of natural collagen in the treated areas and also promotes the absorption of more collagen from surrounding untreated areas.  With the regeneration of natural collagen, one can immediately begin to noticeable smoother, softer skin and a more youthful appearance. The effects of the treatment continue to improve with each session.

Skin Tightening Treatment

 

Some of the important Skin tightening treatments are: 

·         Ultrasound Cavitation: The ultrasound wave creates a vibration within the fat layer of the skin. As the fat cells do not have the structural capacity to withstand this pressure they would eventually cause the fat cells to liquefy and flush them through the body’s natural elimination process.

      ·  Radio Frequency: The treatment rejuvenates the appearance of skin by safely heating the tissue under the skin's surface. This triggers the natural production of collagen and elastin, the key building blocks of healthy, youthful skin.

                ·   Microneedling: The procedure uses small needles to prick the skin. The purpose of treatment is to generate new collagen and to make the skin smoother, firmer and more toned.

 

 There is no overnight stay, no stitches, no downtime, and virtually no post-procedure bruising or scarring for any of these treatments. But few people experience certain side effects after the treatments which are usually resolved by themselves naturally within a few hours. All the treatments can be done on all skin types.  The number of treatments required will vary based on the treated area, age of patient, and individual patient needs.

Before any skin tightening treatment session, it is recommended that the client should remove all make-up and oils on the treated area. Minimal sun exposure is highly advised both before and after the treatment.

Skintightening treatments are not recommended for pregnant women; those suffering with severe infection or chronic health problems like cancer, liver problem, diabetes, etc. One should avoid blood thinning medicines two weeks prior to the treatment.

It is highly recommended that one should choose an experienced board certified cosmetic surgeon who has in depth knowledge, extensive experience, specific training and expertise to perform the treatment.
