Loose, sagging skin is one of the most common and frustrating signs of aging. While there are several effective surgical options to tighten your skin and eliminate excess fat, cosmetic surgery isn’t necessarily right for everyone. Fortunately, there are also quite a few cutting-edge, non-invasive treatments that offer effective skin tightening and contouring, and we offer several of them at JUVA Skin & Laser Center.
Radiofrequency Treatments
Radiofrequency treatments are treatments that utilize radiofrequency energy to heat the skin and underlying layers. This tightens the skin, vaporizes away excess fat, and stimulates the body to increase its production of collagen, which is an important protein for the structure, health, and complexion of the skin. The majority of radiofrequency skin-tightening treatments are non-invasive or minimally invasive and tend to deliver long-lasting, natural-looking results. Our available radiofrequency treatments at JUVA Skin & Laser Center include the following:
Laser Treatments
Laser treatments are another popular, non-surgical option for effective skin tightening. These treatments use ablative wavelengths to remove the outer layer of dull, dead skin in areas such as the face, neck, abdomen, arms, legs, and buttocks. This delivery of laser energy results in increased collagen production while also stimulating the body’s natural healing process. This causes skin that’s sagging or wrinkled to be gradually replaced with firmer, tighter skin. Laser skin-tightening treatments are also effective in eliminating other imperfections, such as sun damage and age spots.
Injectable Treatments
If you’re looking for a quick, minimally invasive method of skin tightening, another option to consider is injectables. For skin tightening, the most effective injectable treatments tend to be neuromodulators, which typically feature the active ingredient botulinum toxin type A. When this neurotoxin is injected into the facial skin, it temporarily blocks the signal between the facial muscles and nerves. This prevents the muscles from contracting, which results in smoother, tighter skin and softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These treatments usually only take around 15. Plus, they typically allow you to return to your normal routine immediately after your treatment session. At JUVA Skin & Laser Center, we offer all of the following injectable treatments for skin tightening:
Microneedling
Microneedling is another minimally invasive treatment that can work wonders for the firmness and texture of your skin. This procedure, which is frequently combined with the use of radiofrequency energy, uses tiny needles to create “micro-wounds” beneath the targeted skin. These tiny wounds trigger the body’s healing process, which causes loose, sagging skin to be replaced with firm, youthful skin. Microneedling typically provides long-lasting results and requires a relatively short recovery period. Our radiofrequency microneedling devices include Morpheus8 and ENDYMED.
