Tightening Lasers - Refirme & Wrinkle Lite
The skin tightening procedure is giving thousands of people the world over the chance to non-surgically improve the way they look.
As a former model, Erin Yates used to have a wash board stomach. But she says giving birth to four children changed all that. "I have gained a good 50 or 60 pounds with each of my children. I could never get my lower stomach area to really tighten up. There was no fat there, but the skin would just be saggy," says Erin.
53 year-old Fay Attias says, "I didn't like my droopy neck and my jowls. She wants to fight gravity, but she doesn't want to go under the knife. Everyone is afraid of being cut and pulled and tugged."
Both Erin and Fay wanted to give their saggy skin a makeover so they tried the skin tightening procedure.
This skin procedure is a way to tighten skin that has no down time to it. Its non-surgical and you can use it on the face, stomach, arms and the neck, says Dr. Anu Momi.
The skin tightening procedure uses an infrared light source to tighten skin and reverse the signs of aging. The source heats the dermis to cause collagen contraction while preserving the epidermis through continuous cooling. In addition, it can stimulate long-term collagen rebuilding that leaves patients with younger looking skin.
The ideal candidate is someone who has very loose lax skin, almost puckering, where there is no integrity beneath it, says Dr. Momi.
Patients usually see improvement after 2 or 3 treatments. My skin is firmer and tighter. When I touch the area, it doesn't feel flabby. There's a softness to it now, says Fay.
Erin has had 2 treatments on her stomach. I just noticed that I could pinch less, that there wasn't as much loose skin, she says.
Dr. Momi cautions that while results with the skin tightening procedure can be dramatic, its not a magic bullet. What you would definitely want to keep up with is weight loss program or an exercise regimen. If you increase your weight you will definitely lose your results, says Dr. Momi.
In the United States, skin tightening is cleared for topical heating of tissue to tighten in order to increase circulation to the skin. Its also cleared for the treatment of wrinkles in Europe and for general dermatologic use in Canada.
