Skin Tightening Treatments

Skin-tightening treatments are designed to combat sagging skin on the face and body. Sagging is part of the aging process, and it starts to appear on some men and women as early as their mid-30s or early 40s. Sagging in the neck and jaw area is common, since our bodies tend to produce less collagen and elastin as we age. Even if you avoid the sun, stay in shape and keep your face and body hydrated and moisturized, you may still notice looseness in these areas over time.

Non-Invasive Skin-Tightening Treatments for Lunch-Time Lifts

One of the most common skin-tightening treatments on the market today is something called Thermage. Thermage employs a captive radio frequency (CRF) laser to heat sagging areas and stimulate the growth of new collagen. Many patients see younger-looking skin after just a few sessions with a Thermage specialist, and the side effects, such as redness and minor swelling, subside after just a few hours.

Another popular skin-tightening procedure is ContrAge. This procedure is most often performed by a professional aesthetician or certified laser technician. The RF laser helps to promote new collagen growth for a younger look, and it also works to reshape and redefine existing collagen to create a healthy glow and a firm epidermis layer. The procedure works deep inside the dermis to fill in wrinkles and reduce sagging and drooping.

Azskinnovations.com and its partner company, NuU Medspa, were the first facilities in the United States to introduce the ContrAge procedure from Spain. Azskinnovations also offers thread lift procedures, as well as Titan lifts and the Arasys muscle stimulation machine to reduce the appearance of sagging skin around the stomach and thighs.
