RADIO FREQUENCY-NON ABLATIVE SKIN REJUVENATION

Non-ablative treatments improve the appearance of skin by causing a dermal injury response without injuring the epidermis. More specifically, they cause a low-level thermal injury to the dermis and/or blood vessels that encourages a wound repair response and boosts collagen.

Skin Tightening History

Looking back only 10-12 years ago, the only really effective treatment we had to lift and tighten sagging skin, combat wrinkles, lines, expression marks, creases and folds, and rejuvenate our skins appearance was invasive cosmetic surgery. There just weren’t a lot of choices - it was radical cosmetic surgery or nothing.

Today, we have far more choices than ever when it comes to skin rejuvenation and looking younger, but than ever, but even today only surgical procedures and high energy treatments can provide lasting and effective treatments for skin laxity, lines, creases, and nagging wrinkles.

What is Radio Frequency Skin Tightening?

You may have wondered what Radio Frequency skin tightening is, and what can it do for your appearance. This video, the accompanying article and website will all answer whatever questions you may have and give you the information you are looking for when it comes to facial rejuvenation, skin tightening, and radio frequency skin treatments. Watch this non-invasive skin tightening presentation and visit the full article and website for more information.

Non-Invasive Skin Tightening

New Non-invasive skin treatments utilizing Radio Frequency like Pelleve, Exilis, Accent, Thermage, etc., Laser skin tightening  treatments like Active FX and Fraxel,  and even Ultrasound skin tightening treatments like Ultherapy are the new standards to renew your skin and your appearance without surgery.

These treatments  lift and tighten the skin to varying degrees, combating the visible signs of wrinkles, lines, crow's feet, etc. without the dangers, risk, pain, and expense of cosmetic surgery. Treatments vary in:

·        Depth of tissue treatment,

·        Energy delivered,

·        How many treatments sessions are required, and

·        What tissues types they treat best.

Although radiofrequency energy has been used for a long time for various medical purposes, its use as a skin tightening treatment is much more recent.  Radiofrequency energy has been used successfully to tighten skin on the face and abdomen, as well as other bodily areas.

How Does It Work?

Radiofrequency treatments heat the deeper dermis in a controlled manner  between 65°C and 75° without heating the epidermis enough to cause damage. This temperature alters the natural qualities of collagen in the dermis, allowing collagen production and remodeling, as well as an immediate skin tightening.

Ultherapy-Another Non-invasive Skin Tightening Solution

Ultherapy procedure is a non-surgical, non-invasive rejuvenation procedure for the face, neck and chest, that uses ultrasound and the body’s own natural healing process to lift, tone, and tighten loose skin.

The Ulthera device uses ultrasound to stimulate the deep structural support layers of the skin, including those typically addressed in a surgical facelift, without disturbing the surface of the skin. Ultherapy treatment also stimulates the creation of new collagen, which further helps the skin maintain its youthfulness.

The beauty of Ultherapy is that it is a 30 to 60 minute procedure that uses the body’s own subtle healing response to gently, gradually restore memory to the skin and its underlying tissue. Ultherapy requires no special recuperation or preparation and typically only takes one treatment to get a meaningful response. Patients enjoy some initial effect immediately following the procedure, but the ultimate lifting will take place over 2-3 months, as tired collagen is rejuvenated and supplemented with new, stronger collagen.

While ultrasound does not duplicate the results of surgery, Ultherapy has proven to be an inviting alternative for those who are not yet ready for surgery. Ultherapy offers a ‘no downtime’ approach to improving lax skin in a meaningful way.

Who is a good candidate for Ultherapy?

A good candidate for Ultherapy procedure is someone with skin that has “relaxed” to the point of looking, and often feeling, less firm. A lowered eyebrow line or sagging skin on the eyelids, for instance, is often the first sign of “maturing” skin. Typically, those in their thirties and older who have mild to moderate skin laxity are candidates. While Ultherapy is not a replacement for a surgical face lift, there are many people who want some lifting but are not ready for surgery, either mentally, financially or logistically. There are also younger people who want to “stay ahead of the game” as well as those looking to prolong the effects of cosmetic surgery.

Areas

Patients commonly choose to have the cheeks and lower face treated in order to obtain lifting of the whole area. The neck and the forehead can also be treated. Ultherapy can be combined with many other procedures such as fillers and muscle relaxants. Dr Lanzer recommends Ultherapy after a face skin suture lift to enhance results and longevity.

 Contraindications

Ultherapy should not be used over a filler and therefore it is important that there is good timing with other treatments. There may be some pain and tenderness during treatment. The Ultherapy should also not be used over any facial implants.

Risks

As the treatment is non-surgical no promises can be made as to the extent of lift or final result. This is because all patients react differently to such therapies. Burning or scarring has not been seen however some patients do find the treatment tender and even painful.
