Skin Tightening
Skin Tightening in Sugar Land, Katy, and Houston, Texas
Nonsurgical skin tightening treatments are designed to firm the skin on the face and body. These therapies are popular, as they are much less invasive than surgical options, such as tummy tucks and facelifts. Many people claim that the results are similar. Also, when nonsurgical skin tightening methods are used, fewer complications result, making procedures less expensive and recoveries faster.
Because today’s non-invasive skin tightening treatments are based on new technologies, there still remains a gap in understanding their effectiveness and the effects of the procedures over the long-term. However, with that being said, most people find that these procedures do benefit them and improve their looks overall.
To understand the importance of skin tightening treatments, you need to learn more about collagen and elastin. When you are young, these substances are readily available in the skin. However, with the passage of time, the production of these skin proteins begins to slow. As a result, your skin begins losing its youthful suppleness, firmness, and elasticity. Compound this activity with facial movement, gravity, and environmental exposure, and your skin can appear la or wrinkled. Moreover, factors such as weight loss and pregnancy contribute to sagging, or striae or stretch marks on the stomach.
Nonsurgical skin tightening targets areas of the skin that promote the production of collagen beneath the skin’s surface or which have become loose. In-office treatments provide dependable results when they are applied by a trained dermatological specialist or board-certified doctor.
