Skin Laxity – Tightening Treatments
Loose skin is one of the first signs of aging in our body. Depending on the skin condition, lifestyle, diet, or genetic predisposition, signs of loss of skin firmness and elasticity may already be noticeable after 30.
Loose skin loses its density and elasticity, causing it to drop. You may notice that the cheeks have sunken at a certain age, the chin has a little bit of a chin, and the oval of the face has changed. The inverted triangle shape characteristic of young faces disappears. The face takes on a sad expression and looks older.
Aesthetic medicine offers a range of innovative treatments that delay the appearance of the first signs of skin aging and eliminate existing wrinkles and laxity.
In Zakrzewscy Clinic, we offer our patients the latest non-invasive and minimally invasive therapies that supplement hyaluronic acid deficiencies in the skin and stimulate cells to increase the production of collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin becomes firm, optimally tightened, and smooth.
Why does the skin lax?
The loss of collagen and elastin, which form the skin's natural scaffolding, progresses with age. In addition, subcutaneous fat tissue and the amount of hyaluronic acid, responsible for the proper skin hydration level, decrease. As a result, the skin becomes loose, grey, and has a "paper-like" structure. Wrinkles and furrows quickly appear on loose skin on the face and other parts of the body, and the existing proportions of individual body parts, including the face, become distorted.
Loss of collagen and elastin in the skin may also result from excessive sun exposure. UV rays split the elastin fibres and cause the collagen fibres to thicken, making the skin less dense and less able to retain water. In addition, the activity of fibroblasts being responsible for the formation of collagen and elastin in the skin decreases.
Premature signs of skin aging may also occur in people exposed to cigarette smoke and other harmful components in the air.
Treatments to tighten loose skin in Zakrzewscy Clinic of Aesthetic Medicine and Dermatology
The spectre of possibilities in skin laxity therapy is very wide. The selection of an appropriate method depends on the body area that requires firmness, the degree of skin laxity, and the patient's expectations and financial capabilities. Before starting the treatments, a medical consultation is held, during which, together with the patient, we determine the optimal plan for the treatment of loose skin.
Anti-aging treatments offered in our Clinic guarantee firming and improving skin tension, significant shallowing of existing wrinkles, and revitalization and rejuvenation of the skin of particular body parts.
In Zakrzewscy Clinic, we offer our patients the following range of treatments aimed at improving the firmness and tone of the skin of any part of the body; these include:
Volumetric lifting - is an excellent facial treatment that quickly improves the tension of the skin. It effectively eliminates, among others, sagging cheeks, furrows running from the corners of the mouth to the chin, and sunken areas around the eyes. The procedure is perfectly safe and comfortable, and the positive effect of the raised facial oval is noticeable almost immediately.
- HIFU lifting - SonoQueen - is a non-invasive, comfortable, and highly effective procedure that stimulates the skin to regenerate and rebuild internally. It firms, tightens, and smoothes the skin of the entire body. The concentrated energy of the ultrasound wave reaches deep layers of the skin, which allows achieving a firming effect comparable to a surgical lifting.
- Chemical peels - procedures involving controlled removal of the horny layer of the skin to stimulate internal regeneration and formation of new epidermal cells. Chemical peels effectively revitalize the skin and soften existing wrinkles.
- Hydrafacial - is a hydro-peel procedure that instantly and spectacularly improves the skin's condition. The treatment deeply cleanses the skin and restores its even color and texture. The skin tension and firmness level are significantly increased, making a face look fresh and radiant.
- Endermologie – is a comfortable face massage that stimulates fibroblasts to increase collagen production in the dermis. The procedure improves the facial contour, eliminates wrinkles, and effectively firms the skin.
- Needle mesotherapy involves the injection of subcutaneously hyaluronic acid enriched with hydrating and antioxidant substances, resulting in spectacular improvement of skin density and hydration internally. This procedure is excellent for grey, tired, and dry complexion. It almost immediately makes the skin regain its natural color, radiance, and freshness.
- Calcium hydroxyapatite (Crystalys) – is administered subcutaneously. Crystalys fills wrinkles and stimulates the skin to produce new collagen fibres, restoring the optimal density and structure of the skin. Crystalys is also successfully used to rejuvenate the dorsal surface of the hands.
- Thermolift - is a safe and effective facelift and other body parts lifting performed with a state-of-the-art Alma Pixel CO2 laser. The laser light beam stimulates fibroblasts to intensive collagen and elastin production, thanks to which the skin regains its original firmness, elasticity, and tension.
