Advantages of Skin tightening
Skin tightening treatments are classified into non-invasive, minimally invasive, and surgical. Depending on what you would like to achieve and the downtime you can deal with there is a treatment for everyone. Soprano XL Near infrared, Velashape 3, and eMatrix are good noninvasive treatments. Soprano NIR skin tightening is a quick painless treatment that boosts collagen production improving skin tone and smoothness. Velashape 3 is painless too and is great for cellulite by stimulating the lymphatic and tightening the skin. We use it a lot for refining an area post-liposuction too.
eMatrix uses sublative radiofrequency and refines the surface of the skin as well as tightens the skin over time. HiFU is a great treatment with little downtime that tightens the face and neck, it can be a little uncomfortable so we prefer to use it with some sedation.
Facetite and Bodytite Dual Sensor are the FDA-approved minimally invasive treatments that deliver radiofrequency under the skin where it is most effective. Renuvion minimally invasive treatments using cool helium plasma technology that delivers radiofrequency under the skin too.
Surgery when appropriate it is the ultimate skin-tightening treatment.
FAQ
The technology combines the three components in the Velashape 3 device to heat up the fat cells and thus lead to their shrinkage. In this procedure, a vacuum is massaged over the targeted area wherein the heat helps with the fat reduction while the mechanical rollers smoothen out the skin. The patient will usually feel some tugging of the skin along with a warming sensation as the procedure unfolds.
Stimulation of new collagen and elastin as a result of heating of the fat cells, surrounding connective and underlying dermal collagen fibres leads to reduced body volume, laxity and improvement in skin texture. Anyone with a Body Mass Index of less than 30, falling under the Nurnberger-Muller Cellulite Classification Stage 1 and 2 will be an ideal patient for this treatment. It takes something in between 20-30 minutes for each area of the procedure to be completed.
