What is Skin Tightening?
In general, non-surgical skin tightening procedures use targeted energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, which stimulates collagen and elastin production and gradually improves the texture. Some treatments also affect the tissue to help smooth cellulite. Numerous FDA cleared skin tightening treatments and technologies are on the market, each using a unique mechanism to achieve the desired result.
As we age, the production of collagen, two proteins that help our skin stay plump, firm and smooth, slows down in areas of loose, sagging skin on the face, neck and torso. If loose skin bothers you, non-surgical skin tightening can temporarily stop this process and restore a firmer, smoother, more youthful appearance with little to no downtime.
Benefits of Skin Tightening
- Tightens mild to moderately loose skin of the face, neck or body without surgery or scarring.
- It can provide a noticeable “lifting” effect.Treatments can be performed in the clinic, typically in 1 hour or less.
- Results can last up to 1 year.
Is Skin Tightening a Painful Procedure?
Skin tightening procedures are often associated with minimal pain or discomfort. This discomfort may vary from person to person and may vary depending on the type of procedure, the site of application, the settings of the device and personal tolerance. The discomfort experienced during the procedure is considered to be worth the rejuvenating effects that will be achieved after the procedure. Following the recommendations of the healthcare professional can help minimize discomfort during the procedure and local anesthetics or cooling devices may also be used. Paying attention to the professional’s instructions before and after the procedure can reduce the discomfort felt during the procedure.
