Explaining Skin Tightening
/DermaEnvy Skincare™ Skin Tightening is a non-invasive and non-surgical treatment procedure. The revolutionary leading technology uses radio frequency to obtain deep thermal heating which stimulates collagen production and causes skin to contract and tighten. You can comfortably achieve a more youthful, toned and lifted appearance without enduring pain or downtime.
Skin Tightening is a complete anti-aging solution for targeting those telltale signs of aging, including, jowl and neck laxity, sagginess under the eyes, saggy brow lines, and nasolabial folds. Unlike conventional laser skin tightening treatments that are time and treatment intensive, and often too painful for many patients; DermaEnvy Skincare™Skin Tightening is a quick and painless treatment for sagging and wrinkled skin.
What Can I Expect?
This skin treatment procedure is relatively comfortable and is often described as a warm sensation on the skin. The skin remains intact and may be transiently pink after the treatment. If desired, makeup may be applied immediately after treatment and normal activities may be resumed. In essence, there is no expected downtime. DermaEnvy clients often notice immediate changes in the appearance of their skin after a single treatment, however, it is important to bear in mind that best results are usually seen after only a series of treatments.
Who Makes the Best Candidate?
Radiofrequency Skin Tightening at DermaEnvy is designed to treat mild to moderately loose skin on the lower face, around the eyes, the neck and certain body areas. It does not address skin pigmentation or blood vessels. All skin types are eligible to have treatment and no complicated pre or post-treatment precautions are required.
This treatment may be used as a stand-alone procedure, or more often in combination with other cosmetic procedures to further enhance the results. This procedure is one of the most comfortable, convenient, and cost-effective procedures available to firm mildly loose skin of the face and neck.
Pre Treatment Instructions
Please reveal any medical conditions that may be of significance to the laser procedure—such as pregnancy, cold sore and fever blister tendencies, any type of allergy, recent facial peels or surgery, or any type of medication such as Accutane, or use of Retin-A.
Do not use self-tanning lotions or tanning booths two weeks prior to your laser treatment. Do not sunbathe two weeks prior to your appointment. Any patient arriving with a tan or sunburn may be rescheduled due to the sensitivity of the procedure to altered skin color and for the sake of your own safety.
