What is skin tightening?

Skin tightening is a type of noninvasive aesthetic treatment that aims to make you look younger by lifting and strengthening your skin. Your skin loosens and begins to sag as you age. With skin tightening treatments, you can reverse these effects to look younger without surgical face- or neck-lifts.

How does skin tightening work?

Aesthetic Specialists of Brevard uses TempSure™ Envi, a skin tightening system that delivers radiofrequency energy to the deep layers of your skin. The energy from the device makes your skin produce two proteins that keep it tight and strong:

Collagen

Collagen is a fibrous protein that makes your skin tight, dense, and hydrated. You produce plenty of it when you’re young, but your aging body has trouble producing enough to keep your skin plump and smooth.

Elastin

Elastin is a protein produced by your body that, among other purposes, keeps your skin tight against your bones. It allows your skin to bounce back into shape after you stretch it or move it around. Like collagen, your body doesn’t produce as much when you get older, causing your skin to sag and lose its form.

What are the benefits of skin tightening treatments?

Nonsurgical skin tightening is a quick and safe treatment type with many benefits. The benefits of skin tightening include:

• No complicated surgery
• No scars
• Fewer wrinkles and lines
• Natural-looking results
• No recovery time
• Quick procedure times (one hour or less)

You’ll enjoy a smaller double chin, jowls, and neck wrinkles, too. Essentially, nonsurgical skin tightening treatments can give you results similar to a face- or neck-lift with much fewer risks and with more subtle changes to your appearance.

How long do the results of skin tightening last?

The results of your TempSure Envi skin tightening procedure last for up to one year. You may need a series of skin tightening sessions to get the results you want at first, but after that, you may come back for maintenance treatments as needed.

The team at Aesthetic Specialists of Brevard creates a treatment plan for you that accounts for your goals and your skin’s tolerance of the treatment.

There’s no magical treatment to keep you looking young forever, but skin tightening treatments can gently reverse some of the most glaring physical features of old age.
