Skin tightening is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the size of large pores, improve skin elasticity and smoothness, and minimize fine lines and wrinkles. Skin tightening Shreveport may be performed with other procedures such as facelifts or chemical peels. However, it is not intended to correct any underlying medical conditions.
Here are reasons for performing skin tightening.
How is skin tightening done?
Skin tightening can be done with a laser or radio frequency energy. The process itself is similar for both procedures. First, oral anesthesia is used to numb the area around the injection site. Then a tiny needle is used to extract some of the fat from the treated area. This fat is then injected back into areas of your body where you want some extra mass.
Lasers work by heating collagen in your skin cells and causing them to contract, which makes them smaller and tighter. Radio-frequency energy works by sending pulses of energy into targeted areas of your body, causing cells within those areas to vibrate at different frequencies and thereby produce more collagen.
What are the benefits of skin tightening?
Reduce puffy eyes
Puffiness around your eyes is often caused by fluid retention around the blood vessels in your face or poor circulation in the area surrounding your eyes. Skin tightening can help reduce puffiness by improving blood flow and reducing swelling.
Improve facial symmetry
Facial symmetry is when one side of your face looks more like the other side due to asymmetry in features such as cheekbones, jawlines, lips, and eyes that may be caused by injury or birth defects. Skin tightening can help improve facial symmetry by targeting these areas with laser therapy or microdermabrasion techniques that will smooth away shallow lines that cause asymmetry for a more symmetrical appearance on one side of your face without affecting other areas.
Removes blemishes or scars
The key benefit of skin tightening is to remove blemishes or scars. This can be done using laser treatments, which use a beam of light to kill the top layers of skin, as well as other techniques that work on the deeper levels of the skin.
Improves circulation
The skin is a living organ that needs to be nourished and oxygenated to stay healthy. Skin tightening helps increase circulation by stimulating blood flow so that nutrients can reach every part of your body through your new skin cells. The skin becomes dry, flaky, and irritated when this process is blocked.
Skin tightening is a treatment that uses a high-frequency current to stimulate collagen production and improve the appearance of the skin. It is typically used on areas of the body with loose, sagging skin, such as the face, neck, or arms. Skin tightening can be performed in-office or at home. In-office treatments are typically done in one visit and require little prep work. At-home treatments require more preparation time, such as taking vitamins.
