Skin Tightening

The loss of elastin and collagen in your skin, as well as a decrease in subcutaneous fat, all play a significant role in the crepey, sagging skin associated with aging.

What is skin tightening? 

Skin tightening are aesthetic treatments that target drooping or sagging skin. Tightening areas of loose skin can help you look much younger and rejuvenate your appearance. 

The team at Beauty Planet Laser Aesthetic Center offers nonsurgical skin tightening for women and men. After a consultation discussing your goals for treatment, they can recommend the best skin tightening treatments that suit your needs. 

Who should consider skin tightening?

As you get older, your skin quality changes as your body slows its production of elastin and collagen — proteins that keep your skin tight and smooth. These structural proteins support your skin, but as gravity takes over and you no longer produce high levels of these proteins, your skin may lose volume and sag, leading to midface lines and folds. 

Skin tightening treatments at Beauty Planet Laser Aesthetic Center can help you: 

• Minimize the appearance of static wrinkles
• Create tighter and smoother skin in your facial, neck, and body areas 
• Tighten loose skin after loss or pregnancy 
• Lift sagging jowls

Nonsurgical skin tightening treatments also give you firmer skin without the need for extensive downtime or surgery, which can result in scarring.

What are the different types of skin tightening?

There are several popular methods of skin tightening, including:

VelaShape®

VelaShape is a non-invasive alternative to liposuction. The device uses vacuum suctioning, mechanical massage, infrared light, and radiofrequency treatment to reduce cellulite and contour your body. VelaShape improves skin structure and texture by stimulating deep fat cells. 

EMSCULPT NEO®

EMSCULPT NEO is a non-invasive treatment that helps you achieve fat loss and develop more toned muscles. It uses electromagnetic energy to stimulate your cells. Each 30-minute session is the equivalent of doing 20,000 crunches or squats, so you get a round, firm buttocks and a slimmer, tighter belly. The device can also tone your arms and calves. 

CoolSculpting® 

CoolSculpting uses advanced fat-freezing technology to get rid of unwanted pockets of fat from your body. CoolSculpting delivers cold temperatures that penetrate the outer layers of your skin, but freeze the fat cells that lie beneath. Your body then eliminates these fat cells through natural waste removal processes. 

It effectively helps you contour areas like your belly, back, thighs, buttocks, and upper arms, for a more toned appearance.   

Laser skin tightening 

The laser skin tightening offered at Beauty Planet Laser Aesthetic Center uses IPL, or intense pulsed light, and other laser therapies. The light energy  tightens lax skin and reduces wrinkles when the light energy penetrates your skin’s sub-layers.
