Facelift is considered the gold standard treatment for skin tightening facial Toronto. It targets the deepest layers of skin and muscles and puts them back into their place. Sagging and loose skin are common ageing concerns. One might believe that it can only be targeted through cosmetic surgical treatment. If the skin sagging is mild to moderate, there are non-surgical treatments that can help achieve tighter and firm skin. Though the results might not be as dramatic and instant as a facelift, these treatments enable collagen production which helps achieve smooth skin. We are here to walk you through the different options available so you can make an informed decision about the treatment you want to undergo.
Laser Technology
In recent times, laser treatments have become increasingly popular. It is minimally invasive and can target various skins of ageing like sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles. Undergoing 1 to 4 treatments can help you achieve tighter and healthier skin and take years off your face. Laser treatment involves a technician using a hand-held device to guide the laser beam across the targeted area. The heat is delivered in a controlled fashion to the deep layers of the skin. This heat allows the generation of collagen production. As the collagen deposits increase, it leads to tighter and smooth skin. The tightening results are achieved with minimal side effects and almost negligible downtime.
Ultherapy
Who could’ve thought that ultrasound waves could be used for targeted sagging skin. The waves work to rejuvenate the skin to regain its firmness and elasticity. The technician delivers patterns and wavelengths in a controlled and precise manner. Due to this, there are low risks involved in his treatment. What makes the results of Ultherapy so attractive is that it can target the deeper layers of the skin that is usually only accessed during the surgical procedure of a Facelift. It can achieve tightened skin by stimulating collagen production in the underlying tissues. Right after the treatment, you will begin to see an immediate effect. It takes about 3 months for the collagen to fully develop.
Microneedling
Microneedling is an excellent treatment to consider when wanting to achieve skin-tightening benefits. During the treatment, tiny holes are made across the surface of the face. This helps to stimulate collagen production. The increase in collagen deposits improves skin texture and tightens over all skin.
Radiofrequency Treatment
Radiofrequency energy when delivered to the targeted area can trigger collagen production. The skin layers targeted by the RF treatment are different from those of Ultherapy. RF treatment can also be carried out on different areas of the body like the neck and hands. The treatment is quick with little discomfort associated with it. After RF, there is no downtime. All you have to do is ensure you are wearing sunscreen when stepping out. Pairing this treatment with IPL laser technology can help produce effective and powerful skin-tightening results.
