Lax Skin
Lax skin, sagging skin, or wrinkles – whatever you call it, it can make you look older than you feel, especially if it’s on your face or neck. As you age, your skin loses some of its elasticity and can begin to sag, droop, and form wrinkles. But aging is not the only factor. Sun damage, smoking, and a very expressive face can also cause wrinkles and fine lines.
What Causes Wrinkles?
What causes wrinkles may depend on where on your body they are appearing. There are two kinds of wrinkles: dynamic wrinkles and static wrinkles.
Dynamic Wrinkles
Dynamic wrinkles correspond to repeated facial muscle movement. When you smile, frown, laugh or squint, eventually wrinkles form for everyone. Smokers can develop wrinkles around their lips from the repeated pursing of the lips.
Static Wrinkles
Static wrinkles are more common as we age, and are caused by a loss of elastin and collagen production. As a result, your skin becomes thinner and drier and can start to sag. Many face wrinkles and neck wrinkles are static wrinkles.
If you’re bothered by the appearance of either type of wrinkle, we can help.
Skin Tightening Treatments with Aesthetics at Cima Health
If you’ve ruled out a facelift or other cosmetic surgery, we’re here to tell you that there is a range of non-invasive skin tightening we provide that can reduce fine lines and wrinkles, tighten sagging skin, and give you brighter, younger-looking skin. After a consultation, your aesthetician will develop a treatment plan tailored to your skin and your goals. It may include multiple modalities or a series of treatments to achieve optimal results.
Let’s take a look at the innovative yet proven skin-tightening procedures available.
Laser Skin Tightening
Our laser skin tightening treatment is a non-invasive way to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, giving you younger-looking skin. The Elite IQ Yag laser heats the collagen in your dermis, causing your skin to contract and tighten. It also stimulates collagen and elastic production to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and provide lifting of the skin. This facial skin tightening and neck skin tightening treatment is best for clients between 30-65 years old.
Microneedling
Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is another great treatment to reduce the appearance of fine lines, neck wrinkles, and facial wrinkles. The SkinPen device we use has 14 microneedles that penetrate the surface of your skin to promote healing and the generation of collagen and elastin proteins. The result is smoother, younger-looking skin. Just 4 microneedling sessions separated at one month apart can boost collagen production by up to 400%!
DMK Enzyme Therapy
DMK Enzyme Therapy is a versatile treatment that can be customized to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles on your face as well as decolletage. This skin rejuvenation treatment restores your skin to peak condition. It reduces the effects of aging, sun damage, acne, scarring, hyperpigmentation, and rosacea.
Laser Genesis
Laser Genesis is another non-invasive treatment to provide you with smoother, younger-looking skin. It also treats redness and pigmentation, The aesthetician uses the same Elite IQ Yag as we use in laser skin tightening, but on a lower setting for a shorter length of time.
