Does Skin Tightening Treatment on the Face Work?

If you have lived long enough, you will have some signs of aging showing on your face. Your skin begins to loosen since proteins (collagen and elastin) responsible for making your skin look vibrant start depreciating. The result is sagging skin on your face, neck, and hands.

But with modern technology, you have a shot at getting vibrancy back into your skin. This is because we have skin tightening in Calgary, AB, that can turn the clock back on your skin.

Going for skin tightening treatment at our office is an excellent way to go since we have a quick, comfortable, non-surgical skin tightening solution. These non-surgical treatments have become popular since most people have realized that they can enhance their looks without undergoing surgery for loose skin.

What Is the Best Treatment for Skin Tightening?

Non-surgical treatments are actually a very good way to go if you wish to improve the appearance of your skin.

Countless anti-aging treatments can change the appearance of older skin. You can go for dermal fillers, which can change the appearance of your skin for several months. Surgery for loose skin is also an option, but you will not like the cost and the recovery time.

You can go for radiofrequency skin tightening if you need a solution other than plastic surgery or dermal fillers.

Radiofrequency (R.F.) has been around for over two decades but has recently come into the spotlight since celebrities have been raving about the benefits.

Radiofrequency skin tightening utilizes radiofrequency energy to produce heat. Different brands use slightly different technology, but all work using the same principle.

The radiofrequency emits heat that targets the skin, heating the deeper layers of the skin to induce elastin and collagen production. Collagen and elastin will assume that the skin is damaged, and so the body will increase its production to produce new cells to combat the issue.

The result would be the production of new cells that will help the skin become thicker, firmer, and more youthful.

One of the enormous advantages of going for radiofrequency treatment to heat tissues instead of lasers is that they produce a lower frequency that can safely get to the deeper parts of the skin. This will help improve the skin structure and skin tone and aid in lifting tissues. Lasers usually work to enhance the skin’s surface.

Additionally, going for R.F. (radiofrequency) skin tightening is that it can safely treat patients with different skin tones without causing permanent discoloration.

Is Skin Tightening Safe?

Every day, you are exposed to low levels of man-made radiofrequency, from T.Vs, cellphones, Wi-Fi, etc. Some have suggested that R.F. radiation is possibly carcinogenic, but no conclusive evidence supports this claim. In fact, R.F. radiation has been stated to be possibly carcinogenic right along with power lines, coffee, and even body powder!

The main risk that has been associated with R.F. is the chance that you might get burnt from the thermal heating effect of the treatment if you’re exposed to high doses.

Having said the above, you are now debating if it’s safe for you to undergo R.F. treatment. Your fear is valid; however, the R.F. used in non-surgical treatments is not the same as what is emitted by your cell phone or microwave. The one used in skin tightening has been FDA approved and is highly controlled.

In other words, the equipment used can be monitored and controlled by our staff members. This allows our practitioner to ensure that the device only treats the targeted areas for optimal collagen and elastin production without overheating.

Obviously, the efficacy and safety of the non-surgical R.F. depend on the practitioner’s skill and experience. So, this is why you need to be careful with who you choose to perform the procedure.

Why Go for R.F. Skin Tightening?

The main reason for getting R.F. therapy is that you can get rid of wrinkles and give your skin a more youthful appearance. However, you can also enjoy some other benefits of R.F. therapy that may include:

• Fighting sun damage
• Little to no downtime is needed
• Very low risk involved
• Longer lasting results
