Review Of Various Skin Tightening Treatments – Sydney

We review different treatments….

There are various options available to consumers when it comes to non-surgical skin tightening treatments. At Advanced Dermatology we’ve put several through the test.

1. Thermage Skin Tightening

Through the natural processes of ageing, collagen in the dermis (the mid-layer of skin) is gradually lost and contributes to the formation of facial lines, sagging skin and wrinkles. The Thermage procedure uses a special treatment tip (ThermaTip™) to deliver controlled amounts of RF energy into the collagen layers of the skin. This form of energy produces a heating action that penetrates the collagen and causes it to contract and tighten. In addition, collagen production is triggered and over a period of about 6 months, new collagen grows to further tighten the skin. Thermage stimulates your body’s natural renewal of collagen, which creates subtle, natural looking results on and off the face, lik tighter, smoother skin, softened wrinkles and lines  and an overall younger looking appearance. So people won’t think you’ve been away at surgery. They’ll think you’ve been away on vacation. Thermage is compatible with most cosmetic procedures; however, you will need to discuss your past procedures, as well as your current expectations, with your physician.

1. Pelleve Skin Tightreing

Pelleve is a non-surgical, non-invasive cosmetic procedure that utilises radiofrequency energy. A unique device is used to saturate deep layers of the skin with this energy, reaching your skin’s collagen stores. This energy gradually heats the collagen and causes it to contract. Over time, this stimulation causes the development of new collagen.

Collagen is what keeps young skin firm and prevents fine lines, wrinkles and sagging. Human skin naturally produces less and less skin with age, which is why you start to see unattractive signs of ageing as you get older. Most topical treatments fail to deliver the results you expect because they are inefficient at stimulating the development of new collagen.

There are some surgical treatments that can force your skin to look fresh and youthful, but those procedures come with significant risks and painful recovery periods. They can also look unnatural, especially in cases where patients have been “overdone”. Pelleve does not require surgery and delivers fast, long-lasting results without the painful recovery or downtime required with surgery.

1. Titan Skin Tightening

Titan skin tightening treatments work by introducing infrared light to sagging skin, which penetrates the epidermis and works to boost collagen production. Collagen is a protein in your skin that plays a big role in how firm your skin is, but over time the body decreases its production, leading to sagging skin and wrinkles. However, unlike radiofrequency treatments, the infrared light that is dispensed during a Titan treatment does not penetrate the skin at the same depth. The infrared light passes through its surface and interacts with the layer beneath it, where some skin care experts claim the energy stimulates and multiplies collagen fibers naturally.

1. RefirmeNXT

Refirme NXT® Skin Tightening Treatment is a top-of-the-line treatment method for aging skin with wrinkles and sagginess without going under the knife.  Refirme produces rejuvenated, youthful skin through the use of a unique multi-energy technology known as elōs™. Elōs™ consists of the combination of radio frequency and optical energy which together creates an extremely controlled way to administer the appropriate amount of heat and provide desired effects without the pain of traditional method.  In addition to having a less painful experience, Refirme NXT® does not require downtime like the conventional laser and IPL skin treatments do. Due to the decrease use of optical energy, Refirme NXT® offers treatment that is basically pain free.  This product is a way to say goodbye to those unwanted wrinkles and sagging skin in the matter of minutes. Previously used techniques caused more pain, can take more time to present desired effects, and are far more expensive.
