Clinical Skin Tightening Obtainable Without The Clinic?

Regardless of whether an individual is male or female, Baby Boomer or Echo Boomer, no one wants to look like a Sharpei! Which means lots of people are searching everywhere – to the tune of millions of dollars – to find the best skin tightening procedures.

Skin tightening is the process of lessening the appearance of lines, creases, wrinkles, and drooping skin as a result of specialized medical treatment or various products and solutions. Skin tightening successfully diminishes the overall look of saggy skin or fine to mid-level lines and wrinkles for a smoother and far more young-looking visage. Skin can lose its suppleness thanks to various factors such as aging, losing weight, having children, and sun exposure.

In days gone by, the only choice available was expensive surgery, which required a LOT of money and weeks of painful recovery time.

Other choices are offered today, that don't demand going through highly-priced and dangerous surgical procedures like a face-lift or a tummy-tuck.  There are some truly amazing skin creams, along with lasers and resurfacing


Check out this option, which was developed by a cancer-researcher and cell-biologist!


Lasers

Laser skin tightening is a non-surgical aesthetic skin treatment method. Laser skin tightening can be used for men and women with all skin types and skin tones. Laser skin tightening can assist individuals achieve younger-looking, smoother skin without the need of incisions, shots, or irritating recovery time.

There are different types of laser skin tightening available. Some use infrared (IR) light and others are based on radio frequencies (RF). Probably the most effective lasers are those that use a bi-polar technology, which combines both IR and RF to go underneath the skin's dermal layers. The heat that results from the laser heats up the tissue, causing a healing response in the body that results in increased collagen production.

Each individual laser skin tightening treatment takes an average of about 45 minutes. A single session can deliver noticeable results, but multiple treatments are encouraged for the best possible collagen increase and tautening. Results are often noticed immediately, and continue to improve over the next several weeks.

But how long do the results last, and how expensive are they? It is essential to keep in mind that these are ongoing sessions that build on the one before.  While reported to only feel a slight tingling when getting these types of treatments, but I have heard that it feels like you are being burned every time they pulse.  It sort of reminds me of my sisters experiments with a hair removal device that was all the rage, but when tried it felt as if the hairs on my legs were being pulled out several at a time. 


Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing, which stimulates the development of new skin by taking away the upper-most layers of the patient's existing skin is an additional choice, Due to the fact that laser skin resurfacing really gets rid of the top layers of skin, it may be used to treat a wider range of cosmetic issues than laser skin tightening, such as age or sun spots, acne marks, and other facial scarring. This option is not without overt pain and recovery time.

Vitamin C Cream

There are many anti aging creams out there that offer skin tightening qualities. In topical cream style, Vitamin C also stimulates collagen generation and improves skin elasticity. Further benefits associated with this compound are defense against Ultra violet damage and improvement in the skin tone associated with age spots. When this substance is combined with other skin protecting anti-oxidants in some of the better brands, more than 84% or users report a reduction in wrinkles. 

No pain, no discomfort.

Skin Professionals used to believe that the skin acted like a raincoat, and nothing could penetrate it - some people still believe that today!  But that has since been dis-proven, hence the efficacy of various patches.
