Let’s dive in!
How Do Skin Tightening Treatments Function? What are the Benefits?
Skin tightening treatments use advanced technology to stimulate the natural healing process in the deeper layers of the skin. By triggering collagen production- a vital protein responsible for maintaining the structure of our skin, these treatments address skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage. They also improve overall skin tone and texture.
Another benefit is that non-invasive skin tightening procedures usually involve minimal to no downtime, allowing you to carry on with your daily activities uninterrupted.
Moreover, these treatments are known for their natural results that enhance your beauty, leaving you feeling like a refreshed and rejuvenated version of yourself!
Are Skin Tightening Treatments Safe?
In a 2022 study published in the International Journal of Dermatology and Venereology has determined that radiofrequency treatments for skin laxity are both safe and effective, without any long-term negative effects.
There are several advantages of RF devices in treating facial skin laxity, wrinkles, and striae. RF treatment has long-lasting effects, few adverse effects, and short patient downtime, especially when compared with traditional invasive treatments. - Drs. Liu & Lyu, International Journal of Dermatology and Venereology
It’s important to note that temporary post-treatment symptoms may occur, like redness or bruising in the treated area. Fortunately, these symptoms usually resolve within a week after the treatment.
Non-Invasive Skin Tightening Treatments at DLK
Thermage
Thermage: Thermage uses advanced radiofrequency technology to stimulate collagen production, restoring skin tightness. Its precision lies in delivering heat energy to the collagen layer, bypassing the outer skin. This triggers collagen contraction and rejuvenation. Thermage is suitable for all skin types and can be performed year-round, offering consistent results.
Bonus tip: Is the eye area your major skin concern? This radiofrequency treatment is safe to treat on the eye area, including the eyelids!
RF Microneedling
Potenza (RF microneedling): Potenza is an advanced RF Microneedling device used to address concerns like wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and skin laxity. The device combines RF energy and microneedling to stimulate collagen and elastin production, promoting skin rejuvenation and tightening.
The customizable nature of Potenza allows for precise treatment targeting specific areas and concerns. The depth of the microneedles and the intensity of the RF energy can be adjusted according to individual needs and desired outcomes. This flexibility makes Potenza suitable for various skin types and concerns.
Silhouette Instalift
Silhouette InstaLift: a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to lift and reposition sagging facial tissues. It involves the use of biocompatible sutures with bidirectional cones that are inserted into the skin to provide an immediate lifting effect.
One of the advantages of this threadlift treatment is that it can be performed under local anesthesia. The procedure typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated.
After the treatment, patients may experience some mild bruising, swelling, or tenderness, which usually resolves within a few days. The results of Silhouette Instalift are immediate, providing a visible improvement in facial contours and skin sagging.
"Thermage and threadlift treatments are an amazing pairing. The combination of these two state-of-the-art treatments lifts sagging and aging skin and renews and stimulates new collagen growth for smoother, tighter and younger looking skin." - DLK Medical Aesthetician
