Skin tightening Treatment

Nonsurgical skin tightening techniques are cosmetic treatments that can improve the appearance of your face and stomach. These techniques are significantly less intrusive than surgical options such as facelifts and tummy tucks, and some promise to give comparable results. There are also less complications, it is less expensive, and recovery is straightforward. 

The Advantages of Non-Surgical Skin Tightening 
1. Tightens mild to moderately loose skin on the face, neck, or body without the need for 
surgery or scarring. 
2. Many therapies can have a visible "lifting" effect. 
3. There is little to no downtime required. 
4. When conducted by a qualified clinician, there is a very low risk of harmful effects. 
5. Treatments can be completed in-office in as little as one hour. 
6. The effects can continue up to a year. 

Ultrasound skin tightening 
Some skin tightening treatments use focused ultrasonic energy to heat skin at precise depths (up to 5mm deep) and places in order to trigger collagen formation and assist skin firm up. Treatments are administered using a handheld device that sends ultrasonic waves through the skin's surface. 

Radiofrequency (RF) treatments 
RF energy can also be utilised to heat the skin and stimulate collagen formation. RF, unlike ultrasound, concentrates on the epidermal layers to achieve a firmer, smoother appearance. 

IPL + RF treatment –
A third type of skin tightening therapy combines intense pulsed light (IPL) and radiofrequency (RF) to  heat deeper layers of skin and stimulate the natural healing response, which in turn stimulates collagen formation. With the inclusion of IPL, a provider may treat a wide range of skin and skin disorders, while RF energy can be directed to treat deep layers of skin. Combination non-surgical 
skincare treatments are particularly effective because they can address many issues in a single 
operation.
