Advantages of Skin Tightening

Loose sagging skin on our face, stomach, arms and other areas is very distressing to many of us. Loose skin or integument (integument - medical term for skin) makes us look old and out of shape, no matter how hard we workout and try to stay fit. In the past, effective skin tensing required plastic surgical techniques like face lift and tummy tuck. However, in the past few years, brand new non-surgical and laserlight skin tightening methods have been developed. The new skin tightening technology has been steadily getting better as the machines improve and as doctors understand how to maximize the results achieved. Skin Tightening (Utah)

Today, often by using a combo of various methods, substantial skin area tightening can be achieved without surgery, a very different situation than three to four years ago when Thermage, Titan, Refirme, and LuxIR Deep were introduced. There are plenty of skin tightening advertisements that could be misleading, so you really need to be an informed consumer and be familiar with technology if you are going to achieve the end result that you desire. Below I will describe how the new skin tightening technology works and which methods are the best. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ust6d3r7hnU

How Non-surgical Skin Tightening Works

Small, firm skin requires good elasticity. Elasticity means the capacity of the skin or integument to snap again or tighten after it has been displaced or pulled away from the body. Good elasticity will depend on healthy collagen and elastin fibers that lie very deep, nearby the bottom of the dermis, the profound layer of your integument below the surface. Collagen and elastin fibers become small rubber bands that maintain the integument tight against our system, and pull the loose tissue back when it is stretched or pulled.
