Skin Tightening Procedures:
In recent years, we have seen a wide variety of options for Skin Tightening Lasers enter the aesthetic marketplace.
In the never-ending quest to defy aging, Thermage has emerged as a frontrunner when it comes to non-surgical facelifts and works on all skin types. Thermage involves the application of radio frequency energy to your face, the energy strategically heats collagen, which tightens your skin.
The collagen in your face reacts to the heat by firming and tightening. Thermage can be used to treat a variety of conditions that include reducing active acne, softening acne scars, reduced crows feet, softer nasolabial creases (around nose and mouth), sagging skin under jaw line and chin, and lifting eyebrows.
The procedure itself is fairly simple. You will need to arrive without makeup, and you will most likely be given a mild sedative for discomfort. A grid will then be placed over the affected area and the doctor will guide the treatment tip over your face which will deliver a combination of cooling and radio frequency. The entire procedure, including prep time, takes around 2 hours. Minor redness and swelling is common after the procedure, but it should reside in a few days.
Results are typically seen within a few months and may last several years, although for some people an additional treatment may be necessary after 6 months. It is important to keep in mind that Thermage is not a replacement for a facelift, but rather, it can prolong the need for a facelift for several years.
What does Thermage cost? Thermage treatments cost between $2000 and $5000 for a full face treatment and $1000 to $3000 for a partial face treatment, depending on the market area you live in and the degree of treatment you require.
Rejuvenated skin firmness with a youthful and smooth skin. Accent laser therapy uses radio frequency to tighten skin and treat cellulite. It primarily works in three ways. First, it heats underneath the skin causing fat cells to shrink. Secondly, it improves circulation to the area. And finally, it stimulates collagen production which makes the area look smoother tighter skin.
A more beautiful you can be archived by Accent Your Body Dual-layer Thermotherapy. Accent is the only system on the market to provides two types of radio frequency technology together.
The Accent dual-layer RF causes the deep structures of your skin to tighten right away; results are immediately visible. With time, new collagen develops, further tightening of your skin. Tighter skin is visible by yielding a natural and firmer looking skin. Accent RF treatments can create dramatic change in the appearance of cellulite and skin tightening without any downtime. Dual radio frequency technology (RF2) is unique in that it provides controlled tissue heating to two separate depths of tissue. Simultaneous cooling is applied to make treatment more comfortable and protect the skin.
One or two treatments can produce good results. Your doctor may recommend follow-up procedures to help maintain and improve your body's youthful toned skin.
Refirme, made by Syneron, is a safe, new, non-invasive procedure used to treat deep wrinkles and fine lines while firming and toning the skin at the same time. With Refirme, you can instantly lift the jowls, chin, cheeks, brow, and body with virtually no downtime or discomfort. Refirme uses ELOS technology, which combines broadband infrared lights and radiofrequency energy to achieve skin firmness and wrinkle reduction. Anyone who wishes for tighter skin is a candidate for this procedure.
The procedure itself requires no anesthesia or sedatives and there is no downtime associated with Refirme. Patients are immediately able to resume normal activities after their treatment. Most patients also report being pain free while experiencing the Refirme process. Your doctor will most likely apply a topical anesthetic to the affected area to ensure your comfort. The process takes about 45 minutes to an hour and while most patients see results after the very first treatment, it is recommended that you undergo 3 or 4 treatments to achieve maximum results. The results should last about 3 or 4 months.
Titan is another non-invasive skin tightening procedure that reduces the signs of aging by using an infrared light source to increase collagen and firm the skin. This light source heats the water content of the dermis below the skin surface, while protecting the skin via an advanced cooling system at the same time. Titan has often been touted as less painful than Thermage, while producing the same "mini facelift" results. Unlike Thermage, Titan targets water as the target chromophore resulting in a more even distribution of the energy in the treated area. Titan can be used on any part of the body that is loose, wrinkled, or sagging. Men and women of all ages can safely be treated by Titan.
The possible side effects of Titan include a tingling sensation during the procedure as well as slight congestion and swelling following treatment. These symptoms should reside within a few hours. Most patients report tightening immediately following the Titan procedure, but the best results are obtained by having 3 treatments about 4 weeks apart. The reason for this is that the formation of collagen is gradual and it typically takes a few months to see the full results.
