The Process Of Skin Tightening Cincinnati

By Carol Hall


Skin tightening improves elasticity of the skin, promotes production of collagen and leaves an individual firm and taut. Such skins will look younger. The procedure helps in treatment of postnatal skins, aged skins and sagging facial tissues. It is treatment that can be performed on breasts, the tummy, thighs, buttocks and the neck. When considering skin tightening Cincinnati residents should know what the procedure involves. It can be done using various methods.

There are various methods used, with the most common being used of lasers. It is known to produce impressive results and minimizes loose skins and wrinkles. Use of lasers is preferred because of its non-invasive nature and the fact that it is non-surgical. There is the use of infrared light that enables tightening through heating up collagen below the surface and in the process leading to contraction. The outcomes are noticed straight after treatment and there is no downtime. This makes it popular.

When treatment is over, one should expect to experience additional contraction over several months. To get the best results however, two or three sessions will be needed. These are scheduled a month apart. It is an FDA approved procedure. There will be production of collagen in areas that have undergone treatment, as well as absorption from surrounding areas. The fact that collagen is regenerated is what makes the results to keep improving over time.

Before the treatment sessions, patients will have to remove all make-up, sunscreens and oils. For the treatment, there is application of topical anesthetic cream on sections that are to be treated. The patient is also given eye wear to protect the eyes. Because of the ablative nature of this procedure, there will be no need for any more anesthetic. However, patients with low tolerance to discomfort may use pain medications before being treated.

The treatment can be done from the office of the dermatologist or the practitioner who is carrying it out. A hand-piece will be used to apply brief pulses of lasers to targeted areas. To ensure the patient is not comfortable, there is a burst of air from the lasers. The practitioner is supposed to pass the lasers over the area at least three times for best outcomes. The lessons can last for between 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on size and location.

After treatment is done, an individual can resume their regular activities immediately. This is because the procedure is not invasive. If there are any side effects, they are minimal. You may feel a warm sensation on areas being targeted, some redness or swelling. These are side effects that if experienced will resolve themselves after a couple of hours.

Not all people are ideal candidates for this treatment. It can be done on men and women of any type of skin. People between 30 and 60 years are best candidates. If a patient has serious laxity of the skin, they may have to use laser tightening in conjunction with surgery.

The cost of treatment is varied. It will depend on the needs of a patient like size of area to be treated and type of lasers used. It is a procedure that is relatively cheaper than invasive surgical procedures.
