skin tighten without surgery

there will soon come a time when the new technologies will dominate all cosmetic pratices

WHY MY FACIAL SKIN SAG AND WHAT I CAN DO?

The loss of skin elasticity secondary to damage to the dermal collagen and elastin and the atrophy of the subcutaneous fat results in a sagging of the facial skin.

Tightening of the facial skin without surgery is common required for effective facial rejuvenation in patients who have facial skin sufficiently aged in appearance.

Prior to the last years, a facelift was the only option for tightening facial skin. However new technologies using Radiofrequency energy are showing promising results as non-surgical skin tightening methods.

The Radiofrequency can however tighten skin by as much as 30% in properly selected people and may be a good alternative for those not wanting surgery.

SKIN TIGHTEN BY RADIOFREQUENCY ENERGY

The latest generation of Radiofrequency machines when heated to 63 degrees centigrade, collagen shortens or tightens and remodels. When the collagen in the dermis of the skin treated by Radiofrequency is tightened, the skin is also tightened.

These machines also use a very sophisticated cooling system to protect the overlying epidermis as the Radiofrequency energy is passed through the epidermis.

RECOMMENDED TREATMENTS

It takes at least three to five treatments, scheduled several weeks apart, to optain a result. The final result will not be apparent for several months, the time it takes for the collagen to remodel. Although some people see a result immediately, usually it takes three to five months for the final results to appear.

RADIOFREQUENCY ENERGY TREATMENT COST

Treatments cost $3500 to $8000 for a full series. The cost is determined by the size and difficulty of the area to be treated.
