Skin Tightening in Edmonton
Nonsurgical skin tightening techniques are cosmetic treatments that can improve the appearance of your face and stomach. These techniques are significantly less intrusive than surgical options such as facelifts and tummy tucks, and some promise to give comparable results. There are also fewer complications, less costly, and recovery is straightforward. These therapies are based on cutting-edge technology. That means there is still a study gap in understanding how effective they are and what the long-term negative effects may be. This post will go through the many forms of non-invasive skin tightening treatments, what the study suggests, and what you should think about before attempting it.
Skin tightening treatments
Skin tightening treatments come in a variety of forms. When you are born, your skin is full of proteins called elastin and collagen. These proteins provide your skin structure and flexibility. As you become older, your body’s manufacturing of these proteins slows down. As a result, your skin begins to lose suppleness. Gravity, pollution, stress, and the hundreds of motions your face muscles perform every day can cause your skin to stretch or droop. Other circumstances, such as pregnancy and weight loss, can also lead to stretch marks and drooping skin. Nonsurgical skin tightening treatments target regions of your skin that have grown loose and encourage collagen formation beneath the epidermis. As previously stated, we can use various techniques to help rejuvenate the skin and overcome and reverse the effects of aging. The treatment of choice for skin tightening is determined by the client’s current skin condition, skin color, the presence of contraindications, the amount of downtime allowed, and the client’s financial situation. The most commonly used skin tightening technologies in Edmonton are Fraxel laser, a fractional non-ablative laser, radiofrequency micro-needling such as Fractora RF microneedling, Ulthera, Microdermabrasion, Filler, and Botox. Albany Laser and Cosmetic Center does not limit our clients to a single technology.
Botox and fillers
This is a popular cosmetic injectable that can be used for upper and midface augmentation. If you want to learn more, we have created a special section for fillers and Botox.
Threading
PDO threading is a newer semi-invasive technique for providing non-surgical lift. The best results are obtained by tightening the nasolabial folds, the lower face, and the neck. More information on threads can be found here.
Ulthera
Ulthera employs focused ultrasound waves to heat the skin at a deeper level and aid in the production of collagen. Please visit this page to learn more about Ulthera.
HydraFacial
This is a gentle treatment that provides superficial resurfacing and is an excellent way to keep the results of other treatments. More information on Microdermabrasion can be found here.
Cold Laser Er-Yag Fotona
Fotona is one of the best laser machines in the aesthetic laser world. We can perform various skin peels using different modes of Er-Yag laser (cold laser), ranging from non-fraction ablative to fraction non-ablative. It also has a new handpiece for intraoral laser treatment, which can help with deep wrinkles.
