Dermatology: Non-Invasive Face Lifts
Getting rid of excess skin used to require a face lift or other surgical cosmetic procedures, but technological advances have allowed dermatologists to offer many non-invasive options that tighten the skin and give you that ageless look. The Arizona sun, aging, and other factors can cause loosening of the skin on the face and neck, creating the appearance of jowling, volume loss, or wrinkles around the eyes, nose, jawline, and neck. If you’re noticing these signs of aging, our Tucson dermatologists can help. These noninvasive treatments don’t require a single stitch, but they can produce noticeable results that will make you forget about a facelift.
RF Skin Tightening
Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening is one of the most advanced noninvasive options available for tightening loose or sagging facial and body skin. Using a specialized probe, our doctors deliver precise RF energy to the target area. 서초동피부과The energy heats the deep layers of the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing process. As a result, your skin will naturally rebuild itself and become firmer and tighter. The procedure lasts about an hour, and you can expect your results to last several years.
Pollogen RF Face Lift
The Pollogen TriPollar treatment is the latest generation of RF technology, which provides remarkable results for tightening loose facial and body skin. Unlike other RF treatments, which require multiple sessions for maximum benefits, the Pollogen TriPollar delivers immediate visible results after just one treatment with almost no downtime. The procedure is performed right in our office, and it can address not only the face but also areas like the neck and jowls, as well as cellulite on the arms, legs, stomach, or breasts.
Other types of RF treatments include Thermage and Ultherapy. Ultherapy is a medical procedure that can tighten loose skin on the brow, neck, or under the chin. It’s also a popular option for new mothers who want to reduce the appearance of their post-baby bellies. Ultherapy is a little longer than the Pollogen RF, taking up to an hour for each session, but it doesn’t require any downtime and the results can last for several years.고속터미널피부과
Similarly, ThermiTight is an FDA-approved RF procedure for treating the so-called turkey neck, which can be caused by poor posture or weight gain. ThermiTight uses a special probe to conduct RF energy into the skin’s deepest layers, heating it to the point where it begins to heal itself and form new collagen. It takes weeks to months for the results to appear, but once they do, they’re long-lasting.
Thread Lifts
The thread lift is a nonsurgical procedure that uses absorbable sutures to create a visible “lift” in loose skin, and it also stimulates the production of your own collagen. There are a couple of different options for threading, including NovaThreads and Silhouette InstaLift. NovaThreads use barbed sutures that can better grab and lift the skin, while Silhouette InstaLift uses smooth sutures for a more subtle lifting effect.
During a thread lift, your doctor can also add dermal fillers to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and creases on the face. The most common filler is hyaluronic acid, which is naturally produced in the body and helps your skin retain moisture. Other injectables can add volume to the cheeks or temples and plump your lips, resulting in fuller and more youthful-looking lips and skin.
