Skin Tightening

The desire to lift and tighten our skin tends to become a priority as we age. Many clients start to experience thinner, loose or sagging skin by their 40s, particularly in areas such as the neck, décolletage and jowls.

This guide covers the skin tightening treatments, products and lifestyle factors that might form part of that treatment plan.

The Causes of Loose Skin

Before we delve into the different skin tightening methods available, it’s important to understand the causes of loose skin.

1. The Ageing Process: As we age, we naturally produce less collagen and elastin. This decrease in key proteins, combined with gravity, causes our skin to become less firm and appear saggy over time.
2. Excess Sun Exposure: UV radiation from the sun can damage collagen and elastin fibres in the skin, causing the ageing process to quicken and leaving you with looser skin.
3. Weight Loss: Losing weight can lead to saggy skin as the skin loses its elasticity and struggles to adjust to its new shape, resulting in loose or (with significant weight loss) hanging skin.

Skin Tightening Treatment: Ultraformer III

Ultraformer III is an innovation in non-surgical skin tightening and lifting.

Gone are the days when surgical tightening was the only option to help treat sagging skin – a procedure where risk, recovery and pain were involved. Our clinicians know how to tighten and lift the skin with natural-looking results for a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance.

Ultraformer III delivers MMFU (Micro and Macro Focused Ultrasound) technology deep below the skin’s surface, precisely targeting multiple deeper layers of the skin – including the layer that surgeons pull back when doing a face lift – causing new collagen stimulation and providing long-term tightening of the skin.

Used to treat all areas on the face and body, this treatment is ideal for tightening sagging skin around the neck and décolletage as well as superficial wrinkles around the eyes and lips.

Skincare

A well-crafted skincare routine from quality cosmeceuticals is an essential component of your treatment plan to tighter, smoother skin. This can help with:

• Providing your skin with the vitamins, minerals, and active ingredients necessary to support the skin’s architecture
• Delivering antioxidants to help combat the damage caused by UV exposure, pollution, and poor habits
• Protecting your skin with a quality SPF to shield it from the sun

When reviewing your treatment plan, your clinician will work with you to find the best cosmeceuticals for you.

Lifestyle

While skin tightening treatments can lift and tighten your skin, lifestyle factors can help to prevent the onset of loose or saggy skin. A healthy diet, regular exercise and effective stress management techniques can protect your skin from free radicals and promote the production of collagen and elastin.

Speak to your clinician about how adopting a healthier lifestyle can help you achieve your skin goals.
