At The Graivier Center, we have several non-surgical and minimally invasive options to target. These skin tightening procedures include tightening loose skin around the jowl and neck and eye areas. If you’re thinking about skin tightening, here’s a look at why you may need skin tightening and some of the procedures we offer in our office.
Why Skin Becomes Loose
Part of the aging process is the loss of skin elasticity, and that causes loose skin. As people get older, their bodies make less elastin. That is the elastic tissue that allows skin to stretch and bounce back into place. As that element decreases, skin begins to hang loosely.
At the same time, collagen levels also decrease as your body gets older. Collagen is a protein found in your skin, muscles, and various other parts of your body. It strengthens your skin and promotes elasticity. As you lose this element, your skin also starts to sag and wrinkle.
This effect can be exacerbated by several issues including weight gain, weight loss, and pregnancy. Some people also experience loose skin after having certain plastic surgeries, and others have reduced levels of collagen due to smoking, sun exposure, or other environmental or lifestyle factors. Luckily, regardless of why your skin is sagging, there are all kinds of options to help with this issue.
Exilis and Exilis Elite
Exilis and Exilis Elite is focused radiofrequency waves directed at the deeper layers of the skin as well as the subcutaneous fat under the skin. The Exilis and Exilis Elite procedure promotes skin tightening via collagen synthesis and reshaping of targeted fat deposits. Fat shrinkage with Exilis occurs via absorption of heat in the fatty tissue (up to 3 cm).
This is a non-invasive treatment complements surgical results following invasive liposuction and Cellulaze procedures and improves skin tightening and tone.
Approximately two to four treatments are recommended, usually three weeks apart. There is no downtime associated with these procedures.
Virtue RF Micro-Needling
Virtue RF is a skin rejuvenation treatment that uses a combination of microneedling and radio frequency to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Virtue RF has fine needles that create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin which triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin improving all over texture, tone and skin tightening. Three to five treatments recommended four weeks apart.
ThermiSmooth
ThermiSmooth face is a treatment for improving the appearance of aging skin through tightening and increasing collagen production. This non-invasive treatment uses targeted heat to firm and smooth areas of the face.
