Excessive sun exposure also sometimes lead to loose facial skin. Long-term UV radiation exposure can cause cell loss and damage that leads to a negative impact on the skin’s elasticity and collagen production.

Procedures such as skin tightening have been developed to address these concerns so people with loose skin can experience a radiant glow without any complicated procedures.

What is Skin Tightening and & Why Do You Need It?

Skin tightening makes use of cutting-edge laser technology, Ultrasound or Radio Frequency to heat the skin’s surface and its deeper layers to stimulate collagen production. The procedure involves activating fibroblast cells to generate collagen and elastin fibres done by raising the temperature to between 41 and 67 degrees Celsius. This effectively reduces wrinkles and fine lines alongside bettering the texture of the skin.

The procedure offers a non-surgical option for mild-to-moderately loose skin on the face, neck, or body without the need for invasive surgery or the possibility of visible scarring. Laser skin tightening can thus be used on any area experiencing collagen loss. Being fast and comfortable, the procedure can be done in a few visits.

It is a convenient and long-lasting option for people looking to improve the appearance of their skin because results can be maintained for up to a year with proper care.

What are some types of skin and neck tightening treatments?

There are several types of skin tightening procedures that help address and tighten loose skin. Your skin therapy clinic might offer you one of the following non-invasive options for skin tightening.

• HIFU: Short for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, HIFU is a non-invasive procedure for face skin tightening. HIFU stimulates collagen production by inducing muscle and tissue contraction beneath the skin by directing energy there. The process helps increase collagen production and tighten skin, reducing lines and wrinkles in the process. Unlike other devices that claim to use HIFU technology, Ultherapy® is the only HIFU technology available in the market that’s both FDA and TGA approved. It utilises a visualization device to allow practitioners to see the tissue layers they are treating, ensuring a more targeting treatment. The device has the potential to reach temperatures as high as 67 degrees and reach depths in between 0.5 to 4.5 millimetres.

• Radio Frequency: Radio frequency technology is used in our RF skin tightening procedure in Melbourne to target sagging and loose skin. Collagen and elastin production is boosted by gently heating (40-42 degrees) the skin with radio frequency waves. The tightening of loose skin on the face is a common use for this effective and safe treatment option.

• Fotona4D® Laser for Skin Tightening: The Fotona4D® Laser is an exceptional laser treatment that harnesses the power of two complementary laser wavelengths to address four distinct “dimensions” of the skin. With the INTRAORAL and PIANO ® Mode for skin tightening, clinicians can work harmoniously to rejuvenate and tighten the skin in and out. This innovative approach signifies a breakthrough in skin care, bringing a natural and therapeutic glow to your skin.

Will I experience side effects after Laser, Radio Frequency or Ultrasound treatment for skin therapy? 

There are little to no side effects involved with the treatment as there are no incisions or needles used. Major discomfort, disability, and bruising are quite rare.

Although temporary redness and itching are possible for some patients based on their skin type, these side effects usually subside. Our team will best let you know the estimated down time during the consultation.

How many sessions do I require?

The sessions required differ on the treatment and the patient seeking it. Over the course of a year, we recommend a minimum of six treatments for RF tightening, four for laser tightening, and one for Ultherapy for best results.

During your skin consultation at our MediDermic Melbourne practice for skin tightening, our experienced skin therapist will determine which procedure is best for you and the number of session you’ll need. We will understand your unique needs and develop a treatment regime accordingly.
