November 2008 - Non-surgical skin tightening may be appropriate for you. PDF Print E-mail

The demand for non-surgical options for cosmetic procedures continues to increase.  Laser skin tightening procedures are expected to increase about 30% between 2006 and 2010.  Skin tightening treatments have become the third largest treatment within the U.S. aesthetic laser market.

 

Non-surgical skin tightening treatments are best suited for clients without severe laxity.  Saggy skin that can be pinched on the cheeks and stretched out beyond the ears needs a face lift.  Also, excess adipose (fat) prevents optimal results with laser or light treatments.

 

The ideal candidate for skin tightening is someone who is not overweight, has minimal or moderate sagging, and still has good elasticity to the skin.  Skin tightening procedures such as Skin Tyte at glow Medi Spa, heat the dermal layer beneath the skin to stimulate collagen and tighten the skin.

 

Results are often immediate.  Further improvement is usually seen over the next two to four weeks as collagen remodelling continues.  Treatment effects are cumulative and a series of three to six treatments is recommended for maximum tightening.  There is no down-time.
