Whether you’re looking to address drooping skin on your face from aging or a sagging stomach, there are so many options when it comes to skin tightening procedures these days. There are surgical procedures like facelifts, medical spa treatments like microneedling, and cosmetic technologies like Renuvion—all of which can be effective at offering the skin tightening effects you’re looking for.
What Is Skin Tightening?
Skin tightening refers to procedures that cause shrinkage and lift to layers of the skin, resulting in skin that is firmer and tauter. These procedures are often requested by patients who may have started to see the consequences of the natural aging process take effect because, as we age, it’s normal for our skin to lose its elasticity and firmness and start to sag. This lost elasticity often shows up first on our face in the form of fine lines, wrinkles, and drooping skin.
Skin tightening is also helpful for those who want to address loose skin on other areas of their bodies. For example, women who have been pregnant may want to tighten their tummy, and people who have lost weight may want to take care of loose skin on their arms or neck.
Types of Skin Tightening Treatments
There are many types of skin tightening treatments, so choosing the best option depends on your aesthetic goal and overall comfort. Some people are not comfortable with cosmetic surgery and would rather choose something less invasive, like Renuvion. Others may have pretty significant aesthetic goals, in which case cosmetic surgery is the way to go.
Your skin tightening options include:
- Cosmetic surgery – Think facelifts, brow lifts, lip lifts, neck lifts, eyelid surgery, tummy tucks, Vaser lipo, and Brazilian butt lifts. These are all types of cosmetic surgeries that can address sagging skin.
- Medical spa treatments – If you’re simply looking to improve the contours of your face and body in a minimal way, a medical spa treatment is a great option. From Botox® and JUVÉDERM® to microneedling and KYBELLA®, the sky’s the limit for you.
- Renuvion skin tightening – A procedure that’s specific purpose is skin tightening, Renuvion is a great option for those who are looking to enhance their bodies without surgery. Renuvion uses radiofrequency energy and helium gas to create a heating/cooling effect that contracts the skin, resulting in tauter, smoother skin.
