One of the hallmarks of aging is a noticeable increase in skin laxity or skin looseness. As we age, our body produces less collagen and elastin, the two proteins in skin that are responsible for a plush, youthful skin appearance. At Elements Rejuvenating Med Spa in Davenport, FL we believe we can restore the balance of your skin’s natural regenerative properties with science-based techniques, such as skin tightening treatments.
What Is Skin Tightening?
A skin tightening treatment is any technique that is used to correct skin laxity to firm, lift, and tighten the appearance of skin. These treatments are usually for anti-aging, but it is also common for these treatments to sculpt fat deposits in the body. Treatments for tightening the skin can be surgical, minimally invasive, or non-invasive.
Treatments for skin tightening can be used to correct many skin concerns, including:
- Improving skin laxity on the jowls, chin, and neck
- Reducing the appearance of expression lines
- Tightening skin on the brow and beneath the eye
- Diminishing unwanted fat deposits
These types of treatments are also unique in the sense that they can be used for both face and body. In fact, many of these treatment methods are developed for use on multiple areas of the body, such as:
- Tummy
- Buttocks
- Hips
- Thighs
What Are Skin Tightening Treatments?
At our med spa, we specialize in non-surgical treatments to tighten the skin. These treatments are either non-invasive or minimally invasive. We will help you determine which treatment is right for you based on your exact concerns and appearance goals.
Radiofrequency
Radiofrequency treatments use mild heat on the sub-levels of skin to stimulate the production of collagen, which corrects skin laxity on and beneath the skin surface. Radiofrequency can be combined with microneedling can provide optimal skin tightening and rejuvenating benefits.
Intense Pulse Light
Intense Pulse Light, or IPL, can be used to improve the overall appearance of skin. With an IPL photofacial, it is possible to enjoy both skin resurfacing and tightening benefits. The light interacts with skin to promote a refreshed appearance.
Injectables
Injectables are also considered a treatment to tighten skin. It is common for dermal fillers to be used to improve the appearance of skin laxity by replacing lost volume.
