Offering Sagging Skin Treatments That Tighten Loose Skin Without Going Under The Knife
As we age, our skin loses elasticity, which can result in sagging or loose skin ̶ mainly on the arms, face, neck, and stomach area. Weight loss and sun damage also play a role in sagging skin, causing a great source of anxiety for many patients. While turning to a plastic surgeon use to be the treatment option for sagging skin, dermatologists now have non-invasive techniques that can help tighten many areas of the body. Los Angeles dermatologist, Dr. Brian Mekelburg, offers skin tightening treatments that can tighten loose skin, without ever going under the knife.
Skin Tightening Procedures
Laser skin tightening and dermal fillers are a great solution for removing that annoying baggage.
Skin tightening lasers and dermal fillers can help improve your skin’s texture and contour, increasing its supply of collagen that resides below your skin’s surface.
This advanced, non-ablative device has two lasers in one that are delivered simultaneously. One of the light beams removes damaged skin and promotes production of new skin and collagen. The other beam heats the deeper layers, leading to retraction and tightening of the collagen bundles. The face, neck, and chest can all be treated in the same visit. Three to five treatments a month apart are suggested.
Juverderm Voluma XC™ is an FDA-approved filler used for the face to target lack of volume and sagging skin to reduce signs of aging. Voluma helps hydrate and adds volume with less swelling for patients. Treatment is quick and there is little discomfort.
