Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Procedures
Apart from surgical skin tightening, you can still achieve fair skin with other methods that are safe, affordable, and sustainable. They include;
- Use of Dermal Fillers
This involves the use of two main types of fillers; Restylane and Juvederm. The gels are spread on the skin to restore natural skin and correct skin aging signs.
The dermal fillers can be used around the chin, lips, scars, hands, fix wrinkles, and smoothen fine lines.
Users start noticing changes in their skin between 2-6 weeks. For maintenance, it is advisable to employ skin care procedures such as the use of nutricosmetics and maintaining a healthy diet.
- Firm
Firm treatment addresses early signs of skin laxity on the eyelids and neck. It can also be used as maintenance for other skincare treatments, and to improve the skin tone.
Firm works to increase the production of collagen fibers to enhance a firm and tighter skin by heating the deep layers of the skin.
- Ultherapy
This form of treatment addresses mild to moderate skin issues. Ultherapy is used to tighten and lift the skin around the eyes, brows, neck, and under the chin, removes wrinkles, and smoothens fine lines.
Ultrasound technology is used to emit sound waves and spread them around particular skin layers and to heat the connective tissue.
The heating action remodels collagen fibers and activated the production of new collagen to rejuvenate contours, tighten the skin, and eliminate wrinkles.
- TiteFX
TiteFX uses radio frequencies to fix body contours. A vacuum applicator is used to deliver heat to focus areas to ensure uniform treatment.
Heat is used for the regeneration of existing collagen fibers to enhance skin firmness and improve the volume of the dermis.
- Thermage
Thermage treatment encompasses the use of radiofrequency to heat the dermis and, at the same time, cooling the epidermis to fix the body and facial contours.
Heating the deep skin layers remodels the collagen fibers and activates their production to correct skin laxity.
