Skin Tightening

Skin tightening refers to any non-surgical cosmetic treatment that aims to improve the appearance of loose or sagging skin by promoting collagen production and/or contraction of the skin.

Microneedling and Radiofrequencing


Before

After

Microneedling and radiofrequency are two popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments that offer several benefits for the skin. Here are some of the benefits of each treatment:

  • Stimulates collagen:
    The tiny needles used in the treatment create micro-injuries in the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing process and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.
  • Improves skin texture:
    Microneedling can help improve the texture of the skin, making it smoother and more even-toned.
  • Enhances product absorption:
    The treatment creates small channels in the skin, allowing topical products to penetrate deeper and be more effective.
  • Tightens and firms the skin:
    Radiofrequency heats up the deep layers of the skin, causing collagen fibers to contract and tighten, resulting in firmer and smoother-looking skin.
  • Non-invasive:
    Radiofrequency is a non-invasive treatment that doesn’t require any downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.

Microneedling and Radiofrequencing Procedure

Microneedling and radiofrequency are two popular cosmetic treatments that have different procedures. Here’s a more detailed description of each procedure:

  • Cleanse:
    The treatment area is cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or dirt from the skin.
  • Numbing cream:
    A topical numbing cream may be applied to reduce discomfort during the procedure.
  • Microneedling device:
    A handheld device or a dermaroller with tiny needles is prepared for the treatment.
  • Perform the procedure:
    The device is passed over the treatment area, creating tiny punctures in the skin. The depth and intensity of the needles can be adjusted to suit the individual’s needs.
  • Post-treatment care:
    The individual may be advised to avoid certain activities, such as sun exposure or strenuous exercise, for a few days after the procedure.

The length of time for each procedure can vary depending on the individual’s needs and the skincare professional performing the treatment. However, these treatments can take anywhere from 30 to 1 hour to complete.

HIFU MIFU

HIFU and MIFU are non-invasive cosmetic treatments that use ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production in the skin. Here are some of the potential benefits of these treatments:

  • Skin tightening:
    Both HIFU and MIFU can help to tighten and lift loose or sagging skin, especially around the face, neck, and jawline.
  • Wrinkle reduction:
    These treatments can also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin look smoother and more youthful.
  • Improved skin texture:
    HIFU and MIFU can improve skin texture by stimulating collagen production, which can help to reduce the appearance of acne scars, enlarged pores, and other skin irregularities.
  • Non-surgical:
    Both HIFU and MIFU are non-surgical procedures, meaning they don’t require incisions, anesthesia, or a lengthy recovery period. This makes them a safer and more convenient option for those who want to improve their skin without undergoing surgery.
  • Minimal downtime:
    These treatments typically have little to no downtime, meaning that patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
  • Long-lasting results:
    The collagen production stimulated by HIFU and MIFU can provide long-lasting results, making these treatments a good investment for those who want to maintain their youthful appearance.

HIFU MIFU Procedure

HIFU and MIFU (ST) are non-invasive cosmetic treatments that use ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production in the skin. Here’s an overview of the procedure for each treatment:

  • Numbing cream:
    A qualified practitioner will clean the treatment area and may apply a numbing cream to reduce any discomfort.
  • High-frequency ultrasound:
    The practitioner will then use a handheld device that emits high-frequency ultrasound waves to penetrate the skin and target the deeper layers of tissue.
  • Collagen fibers:
    The ultrasound energy generates heat, which causes the collagen fibers to contract and tighten, stimulating the production of new collagen.

The length of time for each procedure can vary depending on the individual’s needs and the skincare professional performing the treatment. However, these treatments can take anywhere from 30-90 minutes to complete.

Frequently asked questions

Though there will be some differences seen immediately after the first treatment, the most dramatic results are typically seen after the second or third treatment. Patience is key when it comes to this treatment or any other form of invasive or non-invasive facial cosmetic treatment. It takes time!

Though it varies from one individual to another, in most cases, a series of up to 4 or 5 treatments is recommended.

Both men and women notice the signs of aging as we get older, including fine lines, and sagging skin around the eyes, neck, and chest. However, since the skin tightening procedure aims at stimulating your own natural collagen production; those who have aging skin will respond better than those with no problem at all.
