What happens during the procedure?
The Skin Tightening & Contouring treatment typically begins with a skin assessment and marking the areas to be treated. A cooling gel is applied for comfort and a device is used to deliver energy to your skin, which may feel like a heating sensation. The treatment usually lasts between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. After the procedure, you may experience slight redness, but you'll be able to return to your normal activities immediately.
Recovery
After the treatment, your skin may feel warm and appear slightly pink. These side effects usually disappear within a few hours. There is typically no downtime with Skin Tightening & Contouring, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately. Over the next few weeks and months, you will notice a gradual tightening and improvement in your skin's texture and contour as collagen is renewed and remodeled.
Post-Operative Care
Post-treatment, it's important to protect your skin from the sun and maintain hydration, as this supports collagen production. Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen, consuming a healthy diet, and staying hydrated can help maintain the results. This regimen ensures that your skin stays healthy and maximizes the long-term benefits of the treatment.
Addressing Mild To Moderate Issues
Skin Tightening & Contouring addresses mild to moderate skin laxity, wrinkles, and undefined contours. It can help rejuvenate skin that has started to sag due to aging, restore definition to facial features and body contours, and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a fresher, more youthful appearance.
