Loose sagging skin of the face, abdomen, arms and other areas is very stressful for many of us. Loose skin or skin (skin - medical name for the skin) makes us look old and out of shape, no matter how hard we work and try to stay in shape. In the past, effective skin tightening expected tuck plastic surgery procedures such as facelifts and tummy. But in recent years, surgical and laser skin no new methods are not a numberdeveloped. The new skin tightening technology was constantly improving equipment and improving physicians learn to maximize the results achieved.
with a combination of different methods, significant skin tightening without surgery can often be achieved today a very different situation 3-4 years, such as Thermage, Titan and ReFirme LuxIR were introduced only as Deep. There are many ads that tightening of the skin maymisleading, so you really need to make an informed consumer and understand the technology, if you get what you want. Below I will explain how new technology companies and the skin works, what are the best methods.
If a non-surgical skin tightening Works
Tight, firm skin has good elasticity. Elasticity is the ability of the skin or skin to breathe or turn after it is moved ordrawn from the body. Elasticity depends on healthy collagen and elastin fibers, which are very low, near the bottom of the dermis, the deep layer of our skin below the surface. Collagen and elastin fibers act as rubber bands to keep your skin is close to the body, and pull the loose tissue where it is stretched or pulled.
Aging, sun damage from ultraviolet radiation (UV), smoking, stress, excessive alcohol consumption and unhealthy diet and lifestyle alldestroy collagen and elastin in the skin and cause the skin to loosen and sag. Stretching from pregnancy or rapid weight loss after diet or gastric bypass surgery also destroys collagen and elastin in the skin and leads to failure and loss of tone.
All-laser surgery and skin tightening methods work by stimulating the growth of new collagen and elastin in the dermis. By heating the collagen and elastin to 66 degrees Celsius, the collagen andelastin fibers shrink and stiffen and are rebuilt with new collagen and elastin formation. The effect of skin tightening and new collagen and elastin formation is that the deep dermis and contracts will be simplified and the fabric is tight loose.
Elastin and collagen are very deep into the dermis, and the big challenge is deep enough to heat the skin elastin and collagen obtained without burning the skin surface renewal as heat continuesthe outer layers.
This is the use of coolers very efficient cooling of the surface during the heat reaches the surface step towards the deep dermis. The machines have this option, the deep LuxIR Palomar, Thermage, Titan and ReFirme a few.
A more recent method applies heat in the deep layers of the bass. SlimLipo new technologies as laser liposuction utilizes a small cannula placed under the skin laserRendering. The heat also helps shrink and strengthen the loose tissue above it. This technique is very effective for the stomach and neck and a double chin.
Laser Skin Tightening
CO2 and Erbium laser resurfacing Old Time actually attract dirt. However, the recovery was very difficult, more time for healing, prolonged redness, and Hypo pigmentation or discoloration after surgery. These techniques are notmore widespread.
New fractional laser treatment methods are a great improvement. To split or break the beam into many small areas are left untreated, accelerate healing and complications are rare. The new fractional skin resurfacing techniques can also strengthen the deep dermis in the deeper layers of collagen and elastin. Fractional laser therapy machines include Starlux 1540 and 2940, Fraxel,ActiveFX, DeepFX, ProFractional and state machines.
This skin tightening techniques can still be used and are effective in the face. Since the healing seed coat is necessary, fractional skin resurfacing techniques are less effective in other areas such as the stomach, neck and arms.
Lasers are not the therapy of choice for relaxation and laxity, neck, abdomen and arms. These areas require more heat energy can be delivered only infrared andHigh frequency machines.
Infrared and radio frequency technology to tighten skin
The surface of the most effective skin tightening machines today use radio frequency or lose heat energy company and flabby tissue infrared arms around his neck and abdomen. These machines have sophisticated cooling handpiece to prevent burns.
These machines can be carried deep into the dermis, to 2000 microns, in which elastin fibers are the most common.These sessions are needed to increase the depth and firming the skin. Conventional machines LuxIR Deep Palomar, Thermage, Titan and ReFirme among many others.
Understand that 4 treatments usually required for best results in most machines. New production of collagen and elastin will not happen until six months after the last treatment, so it takes time to see results.
In my opinion, the best results in an improvement of 20-30%. Evenbetter results than possible with higher energies to the great Deep LuxIR new cooling system that allows us to more than two times the energy we use. The freezing weather LuxIR with an increased demand for energy delivery reduced the duration of treatment.
Nevertheless, infrared and radio frequency machines can not get the same result that I lift with a facelift, tummy tuck, or get poor.
Liposuction
, New laser recentlyLiposuction technology called SlimLipo significant tightening of the skin and fat is lost during the degreasing process. As the fiber laser skin SlimLipo is under the laser beam, and the most direct access to the nearest elastin under the skin.
thigh liposuction laser was successfully used loosely, loose, loose arms, abdomen, neck and hips and drive business. This laser-assisted liposuction method againvery important in the coming years.
What method of tightening the skin is best for you?
The choice of method depends on a strengthening of it is because they are the skin where the skin is loose and flabby. When wrinkles, sun damage and mild sagging around the cheeks and mouth, the skin with fractional laser resurfacing laser Starlux 1540 and 2940 are combined and then the best option.
If you have good skin, and mild tomoderate skin laxity your cheeks, neck, abdomen and arms, infrared or radio frequency skin tightening will give you a 20-30% lead. I use the skin deep LuxIR infrared skin tightening machine made by Palomar.
If you have oily skin and loose abdominal arms, neck, chin, hips or thighs, laser assisted liposuction is the best choice for skin tightening. SlimLipo I use the laser liposuction machine made byPalomar.
How to find a doctor
Specialist of plastic surgeons and dermatologists are experts in dermatology laser, but all specialists in plastic surgery and laser are not experts.
Therefore, you do your homework and ask the doctors if they experience in lasers and laser surgery. It is very important to consult an expert. Even if the beautician nurses or doctors who infrared or radio frequencyStrengthen the skin, the doctor supervising the treatment technology required to understand light, laser surgery and laser liposuction laser e. should be done by an experienced physician.
Today there are many plastic surgeons and dermatologists are not, laser and optical services to advertise, they are not experts in these techniques. You really need the right questions and investigate. These new technologies can be dangerous and inexperienced inMani.
Some places are good to the websites of the following organizations to see:
American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABP)
American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)
American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAP)
Visit these sites and the search for a specialist plastic surgeon in your area. Visit the sites and see if the doctor provides laser and non-surgical treatments for skin tightening. If you have at least two doctors and ask to seePhotos of the results to their patients. Not looking for skin tightening treatments in medical spas, which are not a specialist in dermatology or plastic surgery, laser surgery experienced a local presence.
