Skin Tightening

Skin Tightening
What is it?
As the skin ages, or gets overly exposed to sun and UV rays, it tends to get damaged and looses its elasticity and bounciness. This causes saggy and/or loose skin, that can occur on any part of the body including eyelids, chin, cheeks, neck, jowls, abdomen, upper arms, etc. Saggy skin can also be caused by other factors including pregnancy, diseases or illnesses, weight loss, etc.
The underlying cause for saggy, loose skin, is the skin’s lack of ability to naturally produce elastin and collagen, which are the substances that lead to healthy, supple and tight skin. In minor cases of sagging, tightening exercises and/or topical medication may do the trick. However, for more intense cases, bigger procedures may need to be done to restore the skin’s lost elasticity and tightness.
How is it done?
Skin tightening can be done by various different procedures. This can only be decided upon, after a thorough consultation with the doctor, as the expert will be able to guide you better on the best suited treatment for your case.
Treatments can be of the surgical and non-surgical variety, Surgical treatments commonly include facelifts, etc. Non-surgical treatments, hence, are a safer option while providing great results. Common non-surgical treatments include the use of radio frequency, ultrasounds and/or lasers. These skin-safe radiations are administered through a handheld device that gently target the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production, resulting in a natural-looking tightening effect.
What are the Pre- and Post-procedure steps for Skin tightening?
Depending upon the treatment option chosen for you, you will be advised on the steps to follow before and after the treatment, which can ensure a smooth treatment session as well as an effective recovery.
