A minimally invasive treatment that uses infrared light energy for tightening saggy skin is laser skin tightening. Fine lines and wrinkles often seem thinner as it tightens the skin. As a result, for those seeking skin rejuvenation, this laser treatment got immense popularity for treating wrinkles and other aging signs. It can also be used as an addition to liposuction and facelifts.
There are several skin tightening techniques available, but the SkinTyteTM laser skin tightening device cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) represents state-of-the-art therapy for the age-old problems of saggy skin and wrinkles. To gently and effectively heat the collagen in the dermis, or middle layer, of the skin to a certain predetermined temperature, the SkinTyte device uses broadband light (BBL), causing the skin to contract/tighten. The procedure also encourages the development of new collagen in the treatment area(s), as it mimics the normal healing process of the skin. The SkinTyte laser device continuously releases cooling air onto the surface of the skin for skin protection and added patient comfort.
People aged between 30 and 60 with mild to moderate skin laxity are considered as ideal candidates for the laser skin tightening and wrinkle removal procedures, while SkinTyte is safe and effective for all skin types and tones. In addition, the procedure may appeal to people who want to avoid more invasive surgical cosmetic procedures such as a facelift or tummy tuck. For all areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, belly, arms, hips, and buttocks, laser skin tightening has been shown to be successful.
Why do you need to tighten your laser skin?
Our skin is exposed to harsh UV radiation every day and is harmed by the sun. Our skin has a delicate balance in its youth between the development of fresh collagen and the loss of collagen due to sun harm. This balance is disrupted as we grow older or become too exposed to the light, leading to a decline in collagen cells that keep the skin strong and youthful. The ability of our skin to replace these weakened collagen cells diminish as we age. In the form of fine lines and wrinkles, early signs of ageing begin to show, gradually contributing to lose skin. There are numerous home remedies for aged skin and home remedies for wrinkles that can help smooth the skin. Such home remedies are easy but take a while to achieve the desired outcomes. A downside to following home remedies for aged skin and wrinkles is that you have a skin irritation or reaction to any of the components used unknowingly. Some treatments do not allow you to permanently get rid of wrinkles, although some take a long time to cover the lines on your forehead.
