What can skin tightening do for me?
Loose skin makes you look older and heavier. While it’s often an unavoidable part of aging, loose skin can also affect men and women of all ages who have recently lost a drastic amount of weight.
To combat these changes to your appearance, Reviva Medical Aesthetics offers skin tightening treatments with lasting results. They work by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin in the tissues beneath your skin. In the 3-6 months after each session, your skin continuously tightens to make you look noticeably younger and slimmer.
Where on my body can I tighten my skin?
You can tighten saggy or loose skin nearly anywhere on your body. Many skin tightening patients choose to target their:
- Face
- Neck
- Arms
- Abdomen
- Legs
- Buttocks
Skin tightening treatments can also make the cellulite on your thighs, buttocks, or core look more subtle. Individual results vary, and your Reviva Medical Aesthetics provider can tell you how many treatments you’ll need to get to your ideal results.
Am I a good candidate for skin tightening?
Skin tightening treatments are noninvasive and less risky than surgery. After a thorough evaluation of your skin’s condition and your medical history, your provider decides whether skin tightening treatments are your best bet.
You might be a good candidate for skin tightening if you:
- Are generally healthy
- Have moderate skin laxity that isn’t too severe
- Are 30 or over
- Are younger than 60
- Don’t have an infection near the treatment area
- Don’t have blood clotting problems
- Aren’t pregnant
Skin tightening treatments are appropriate for any skin texture or color. Generally, they’re painless and easily tolerable for anyone.
How should I prepare for my skin tightening treatment?
For two weeks before your appointment, you need to avoid blood-thinning medications such as aspirin. It’s important that you tell your physician all of the medications that you take during your consultation.
As usual, you should also be diligent about protecting your skin from the sun before your treatment. Be sure to wear sunscreen and avoid direct, prolonged sunlight for a few days before you come to Reviva Medical Aesthetics. You should come to your appointment having bathed or showered without using oils, creams, or fragrances.
Loose skin can make you feel the need to cover up and hide your face and body. To tighten your skin and find your confidence again, call Reviva Medical Aesthetics or book your appointment online today.
