SKIN TIGHTENING

SKIN TIGHTENING DESCRIPTION

Skin tightening for the body can achieve a firmer, more-youthful appearance. Your skin inevitably begins to loose structure and firmness as you age, leading to sagging and laxity. Certain factors, including sun exposure and lifestyle choices, can further accentuate this process. Skin tightening treatment is designed to improve the signs of aging and restore a firmer-looking appearance. Our skin tightening doctors utilize state-of-the-art radiofrequency (RF) technology to tighten loose skin and remove tiny amounts of stubborn fat in one treatment. Bassin Center For Plastic Surgery in Orlando provides skin tightening to target the breasts, arms, abdomen, thighs, and legs without the need for invasive surgery or extended downtime. Instead, skin tightening uses minimally invasive techniques to enhance firmness and shape. During your procedure, RF technology monitors the temperature above and below your skin in real time using state-of-the-art computer technology, improving efficiency, as well as patient safety.

SKIN TIGHTENING PROCEDURE

During skin tightening treatment, a local anesthetic is administered to reduce discomfort during your procedure. A single, tiny incision is made in the skin and the RF probe is placed beneath the skin. This device sends radiofrequency energy to subsurface tissues, producing a tightening effect and stimulating the production of new collagen fibers to enhance skin structure. Additionally, heat from the RF device can disrupt fat, reducing fat deposits and improving definition. Skin tightening patients require minimal downtime and can generally return to daily activities within a few days of treatment. Skin tightening results can be long-lasting and improvements can continue to be seen in the months following treatment. Patients can expect to see results after just 1 skin tightening procedure. Skin tightening treatment can contour the breasts, slim the arms, tighten the midsection, and reshape the thighs and legs.
