Skin Tightening Before & After Results

Skin Tightening Q&A.

What is skin tightening

Skin tightening is the process of stimulating the production of skin proteins to firm and tighten loose and saggy skin. The treatment has anti aging results and makes for more youthful skin on the face and body.

Most people have probably heard the words elastin and collagen, but many do not know what it is. 

According to experts, the natural loss of elastin, collagen, and facial fat are the driving factors behind sagging skin. Common areas where you might see sagging skin are around the: 

  • Eyes
  • Cheeks 
  • Jowls 
  • Chin 
  • Throat 
  • Upper Chest
  • Arms
  • Stomach
  • Buttocks 

Basically anywhere there is skin!

As we age, the production of both elastin and collagen decreases significantly. This is natural, but other factors such as UV exposure, pollution, and a poor diet also contribute significantly to the deterioration of the skin.

What causes wrinkles & sagging skin

Aging comes with many side effects. None worse than wrinkles and loose skin. However this is a natural occurrence and understanding what causes it can help you delay it.

What are the skin's proteins

Your skin has three layers: The epidermis (the top layer), the dermis (inner layer), and the subcutaneous tissue (the bottom layer).

The epidermis is the outer layer of the skin that is visible to the eye. The dermis, the layer underneath, produces the skins three most important proteins, elastin, collagen and keratin.

  1. Collagen: This skin protein is the most abundant and makes up about 75% of your skin and gives it strength
  2. Elastin: This protein allows your skin to stretch and bounce. As the name suggests it gives it elasticity.
  3. Keratin: This protein is responsible for providing rigidity in your skin.
When you are young these proteins are plentiful. But as you age and over years of exposure to UV rays, pollution and a poor diet the fibers that make up your skin break down causing your skin to sag.

There are plenty of topical skin treatments available out there that claim to reduce the signs of aging, but the reality is that the molecules contained in these creams are too large to penetrate the skin and have a real, meaningful impact.

How to prevent sagging skin

Skin sagging is unpreventable. But there are many things you can do to slow the rate of skin sagging, such as applying sunblock, which is especially important in a place like Miami.

Another leading cause of skin sagging is weight loss.

Although weight loss is a great thing, if you have been carrying excess wait for an extended period of time, the loss of weight will often cause excess skin sagging. Due to the natural aging process the skins proteins and fibers have a harder time snapping back into place as you get older.

Skin sagging can also be caused by some illnesses, namely a subtype of 'cutaneous T-cell lymphoma' and 'Ehlers-Danlos syndrome'.

Both of these are severe and rare illnesses that cause granulomatous slack skin, which does not respond well to our skin tightening treatments.

Types of skin tightening

Luckily there are treatments that will suit just about everyone:

  • Topical creams, ointments and remedies (best for low skin sagging and prevention)
  • Invasive surgery (not recommended and not offered at Miami Skin Spa)
  • Microneedling
  • Laser treatments
  • Body sculpting using heat

You can find out more about the different types of skin tightening treatments we offer below and find the one thats best for you. Microneedling is the most effective skin tightening option, as its quick, painless and doesn't require any downtime.

Is skin tightening permanent

Skin tightening is somewhat permanent. However as time passes, your skin continues to loose its elasticity and will continue to age. The best way to delay the effects is by continued treatment.

We all have different skin and different amounts of skin sagging. When your deciding what treatment you should go with, there are several factors you want to consider:

  • Location of the skin sagging
  • Amount of skin sagging
  • Pre-existing medical conditions
  • Your personal feelings about your sagging skin

Whether you have low, moderate or severe skin sagging we have a skin tightening and skin resurfacing treatment just for you.
