Having fresh and supple skin gives a great boost to one’s appearance. On the other hand, having sagging and loose skin never leaves good vibes and tells the tale of a long hard life. To correct this problem, there are a number of skin tightening treatments that are available.
Like all other parts of the world, Pakistan has these treatments available in some of the top-notch clinics with state of the art equipment like Skn Cosmetic Clinic. We shall take a closer look at these in the following lines.
Microdermabrasion
The treatment uses tiny crystals that are blasted on to the skin with the help of a handheld device. The dead skin from the top surface of the face is removed. The crystals and dead skin are then collected in a chamber. This kick starts the healing process and the production of collagen in the area of treatment.
The results can be seen after a few weeks and they continue to get better. Four to six treatments are needed to achieve the desired skin tightening results. There are no serious side effects and the treatment involves no downtime.
Chemical Peels
These are acidic solutions that come in various strengths. They are applied to the skin in order to remove the damaged top layer. It helps in increasing collagen production. The healing process takes a few days in which some scabs and dead skin come off. The skin gets fresh after the treatment and it is in much better shape. A few treatment sessions can help a person in achieving healthy and supple skin.
Fractional CO2
It is a laser skin tightening in Islamabad procedure that works very well. Carbon dioxide laser is fractionated into thousands of beamlets onto the skin. These beamlets bore tiny holes in the top layer of the skin to jumpstart the healing process. Production of collagen and elastin too is increased as a result.
Within a few days, the skin is completely healed and is smoother and with fewer signs of sagging. Generally, five treatments can do the job though this number can vary in individuals based on their particular needs.
Dermal Fillers
There are different types of dermal fillers that are available to treat sagging and loose skin. These are injected into the skin in order to tighten it. The fillers once injected take a few days to take effect and the skin condition greatly improves, giving the person a younger look.
The results stay in place for a few months before the procedure needs to be repeated. There are no serious side effects of dermal fillers and there is generally no downtime associated with them either. The dermal fillers can be injected an indefinite number of times unless a medical condition prevents it.
