Skin tightening treatments

These treatments are highly effective non-surgical treatments that promote collagen production thus improving skin elasticity and tightening the skin. Those who are worried about smile lines, thin, wrinkled or droopy eyelids or looking to improve fine lines, skin texture and wrinkles will benefit from these treatments. Skin tightening treatments work by delivering either high frequency ultrasound waves or radiofrequency waves into the tissue to produce heat which promotes collagen breakdown and thereafter collagen regeneration. This technology will not cause damage or burns to the epidermis of the skin. You may feel some discomfort (mostly heat) during treatment, however this is tolerated extremely well by patients. Your skin will feel lifted and firmer right after the procedure but best results are seen 2-3 months after the procedure as this is when the newly created collagen has begun to mature. This process may continue for 6 months up to a year. For the best long term results, a series of treatments once or twice a year will be required.
