Much has been discussed in our industry lately regarding skin tightening and this has led the debate to the wider client base.

Are you concerned with loss of skin firmness? (skin laxity) due to pregnancy, weight loss or simply the aging process? If you have it will be good to know what is out there to help.

What is collagen?

Skin is largely made up of a special type of protein called collagen. Collagen is produced from before birth until around puberty/adulthood an is responsible for creating strength and elasticity in our body tissues, both inside and out. So it is really important right? Yes very. Apart from ensuring that our vital organs are well protected the organ of skin itself relies on collagen to maintain its shape, strength and flexibility for movement.

Why does skin lose its firmness?

After we stop naturally making collagen our bodies happily coast on the collagen we have throughout our lives until we reach midlife, when a few things begin to change. Changing hormones means that the bodies priorities change. More effort needs to go to helping our vital organs and tissues to stay strong internally and the skin begins to show the visible signs of collagen relaxation.

You may start to notice a change in the shape of your face, puffiness under your eyes, a softening of your jawline and this is when you might decide it is time to do something!

What is skin tightening and does it work?

The philosophy of aesthetics is centred around being able to step in and artificially stimulate a response with your existing collagen to help it to regain some of its strength and integrity.

How do we do that?

There are some very tried and tested methods of collagen stimulation that we use.

1. Direct trauma using micro needling or fusion devices– having needling done on the skin will induce a physical reaction within the skin as a direct response to be ‘damaged’. This is controlled trauma and it will encourage the skin to repair. In order to do that the skin will begin to produce a new type of collagen directly linked to repair. After a number of sessions the skin begins to look more even and bighter.

2. Radio Frequency Skin Tightening– One of our favourites for its comfortable delivery method. This treatment uses radio frequency waves to produce heat stimulation in the deeper layers of skin. The heat is just enough to overheat the cells and induce the repair process. This is not only a highly effective method of skin tightening but it is super comfortable as well as being very safe. This can be used on face or body and is highly effective post pregnancy and weight loss.

3. HIFU- High Intensity Focused Ultrasound This method also uses heat as its source of stimulation however as the name suggests it uses ultra sound waves instead of radio frequency and these are high intensity so much hotter and delivered in micro pin prick spots to the deeper layers of skin. There can be some discomfort with this treatment but this is temporary.

We offer free consultations for all of the above treatments so why not come along and learn more?
