Skin Tightening Before and After

Ideal candidates

During your consultation, we will check your health history, skin condition, and desired results to see if you are an ideal candidate. In general, you can have the procedure if:

• You are in good health.
• You are not pregnant.
• You don’t have a bleeding disorder.
• You don’t want to have surgery.
• You have realistic treatment goals.
• You have sagging or loose skin on your face, neck, and other body parts.
• You want to achieve firmer, more youthful skin.

Nonsurgical methods of skin tightening

We will also discuss the following skin tightening procedures during your consultation to see which method will best suit your skin condition and treatment goals:

• Intense Pulsed Light (IPL): This procedure makes use of controlled light energy to heat the sagging skin. It targets the lower layers of your skin without affecting the outermost layers. This in turn stimulates your body to replace old skin cells with new healthy cells.
• Laser: Laser light reduces sagging and looseness of your skin by stimulating the production of the proteins called collagen and elastin, which strengthens and provides moisture to your skin.
• Radiofrequency: This procedure involves the use of a handheld device that delivers low energy radiation in areas of wrinkling and sagging skin. It targets the deeper layers of your skin so that collagen production is increased in the area.
• Ultrasound: It uses ultrasound energy to boost the production of collagen in your skin. This in turn smooths out wrinkles, sagging skin, and other signs of aging.

Recovery after the treatment

It is important to keep in mind that the recovery time will depend on your skin condition and desired results. In most cases, you can resume work and normal activities immediately after the procedure. Mild redness, swelling, pain, or bruising are normal and will resolve after a few days.
