Best Treatment Option for Removing Saggy Skin

As people age, they face a decreasing production of elastin and collagen, the proteins that help keep their skin smooth, firm, and plump. As a result, their facial and body skin starts to sag. Have you been pulling back the skin on your face every time you look in the mirror and it bothers you? Don’t despair. You do not have to undergo expensive, surgical treatment options to remove saggy skin.

One of the best options for removing saggy skin is through non-surgical skin tightening treatment. Non-surgical skin tightening allows you to restore a smoother, firmer, more youthful appearance without having to undergo invasive surgery. There are several technologies used for non-surgical skin tightening treatments. The most common include:

RF (RADIOFREQUENCY) TREATMENTS

As mentioned earlier, the skin begins to sag when the production of proteins known as elastin and collagen decreases. This type of skin tightening treatment uses radiofrequency energy to trigger the production of collagen. The energy heats the skin, focusing on the epidermal layers to allow the skin to produce more collagen, resulting in smoother, firmer skin. RF treatment is safe, and it is recommended for older patients as well as younger ones.

The FDA approves this treatment for tightening the skin around the hands, neck, face, and body. It is an outpatient procedure, meaning little to no downtime. The results are gradual and visible months following treatment. To achieve the best results, you should get a series of two to six treatments.

ULTRASOUND SKIN TIGHTENING

This technology has been around for decades. The treatment involves using ultrasound energy to heat the skin to help it become firmer and trigger the production of collagen. A handheld tool directs the ultrasound to specific locations on the skin, penetrating it at specific depths.

If you are looking for a mini facelift without undergoing invasive surgery, this treatment is a great option. It is ideal for younger people looking to prevent skin sagging and maintain smooth, firm skin. Ultrasound skin tightening can treat the chest, neck, and chin.

Treatment takes an average of 60 to 90 minutes, and you can see the results within two to three months. The results are not permanent, but they can last up to 12 months with good skincare. Ultrasound skin tightening is safe and has minimal side effects, including numbness, bruising, and redness.

FACIAL EXERCISES YOU CAN ADD TO YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE AFTER SKIN TIGHTENING TREATMENT

Non-surgical skin tightening treatments do not produce permanent results. However, the results can last longer if you maintain a proper skincare routine. You can add some exercises to your skincare routine, including:

• Press your tongue against the roof of your mouth while humming
• Pull your chin down to your neck while lying down
• Close your mouth and tilt your head back
• Move your head up and down while smiling as hard as you can
• Chew while lifting your chin
• Blow up your cheeks then release
• Pucker your lips while lying down and pull the mouth downwards using your fingers
• Imitate a yawn and pull your lips together without your teeth touching
