The Story on Skin Tighteners...Equipment that Delivers
Let's face it. As we age, the skin begins to sag and dimple. This is generally the result of a breakdown in collagen production, which acts as a scaffold to the skin. With thick and strong collagen our skin becomes plump on the inside with an outside finish that looks smooth and refined. Here are a few examples of skin tightening machines that really can do the trick! Radiofrequency is a non-invasive approach, with no downtime that essentially targets water oscillating deep into the dermal layer that results in a shrink-wrapping" effect to the skin. It takes about 40 minutes and 2 treatments. The results are amazing! Sometimes, along with laxity there is a bit of unwanted fat in some locations, such as under the chin. Laser-assisted liposuction has a proven track record for not only removing the fat but delivering energy from below the skin that also tightens. This procedure is office-based, with limited downtime and great long-term results. Another approach that also targets lines, wrinkles and texture at the same time is a fractional resurfacing device, know as the Fraxel re:store. Typically done in a series of 4 treatments, in under an hour, the downtime will not affect a busy lifestyle. They're here to work for you. Let us know what we can do for you!
