Sagging Skin and Signs of Aging

As we age, our body starts changing. Wrinkles start to appear, and the skin begins to sag in various places, such as the upper arms and neck.

The main factor that causes the skin to appear wrinkled and looser is reduced collagen production. Collagen serves as structural support in the cells in the skin and contributes significantly to youthful skin. Other factors that increase the risk of saggy and wrinkly skin include:

• Exposure to the sun without proper use of sunscreen
• Excessive smoking and drinking
• Excessive sugar consumption
• Not moisturizing the skin regularly
• Lack of exercise
• An unhealthy diet

Restoring Youthful Skin

The good news is that restoring your skin doesn’t require drastic measures and cosmetic surgery anymore. With the latest developments in cosmetic medicine and modern technology, many new methods of skin tightening are now available. These methods are sometimes even more effective than cosmetic surgery, and offer more natural-looking results.

Typically, non-surgical skin tightening procedures use targeted energy to penetrate and heat the inner layers of the skin. The heat acts as a stimulus that boosts elastin and collagen production, the two proteins that keep our skin plump, firm, and toned. Regularly exposing the inner dermal layers to laser energy gradually improves the tone and texture of the skin.

Non-surgical skin tightening treatments

Dr. M Aziz offers multiple non-surgical skin lifting and tightening treatments. These include:

Ultrasound Skin Tightening — The treatment uses focused ultrasound energy to induce collagen production. A handheld ultrasound device transmits the heat energy through the skin’s surface into the deeper layers. It is ideal for patients with early signs of aging on the face and neck area.

Radiofrequency (RF) Treatments — The heat of Radiofrequency (RF) energy focuses on the epidermal layers and triggers collagen production for a firmer and smoother appearance. The treatment can be used almost anywhere on the body, including the hands, neck, and face. Most RF treatments are completely safe when performed by qualified people, and optimal results can be achieved in just two to six sessions.

Tighten Skin Anywhere on the Body

Dr. M Aziz can perform skin tightening and lifting almost anywhere on the body. This includes the stomach, face, neck, thighs, chin, and any other part of the body you want to improve. The results may vary according to the body part and the amount of loose skin.

The procedure is relatively simple and pain and discomfort-free. Some people actually enjoy the heat produced by the lasers during the process. It’s almost like getting a hot stone massage.
