The name Skin tightening is like a holiday. You can travel to many different places, but they aren’t all the same. Many Skin Tightening treatments do very little to restore your natural Collagen and Elasticity. The principle of effective skin tightening is to heat the deeper layer of the skin (The Dermis), as this is where the strength structures are located.
Treatment takes 10-20 minutes.
Prices start from $1000.
Skin tightening has minimal discomfort and no downtime, in general.
Results take 2-4 weeks for full effect, depending on the area treated. Multiple treatments may be needed.
Can be combined with active skin care, thread lifts, and collagen stimulating injections for a more comprehensive rejuvenation.
Available at Ignite Medispa, Wollongong.
Our skin tightening devices are very effective. They use tiny gold plated needles to penetrate into the dermis, and then emit radiofrequency energy between the needle tips, heating the deeper skin layer, causing it to tighten and produce Collagen.
Most other treatments attempt to heat through the outer layer of the skin. This means the Dermis won’t be heated to the same temperature, and increasing the risk of burning the outer layer of skin. Results from Skin tightening tend to improve over time, as the body creates and remodels the Collagen over 2-3 months.
The heating of the Dermis effectively reverses what is changing with age. It restores lost Collagen, and tightens what has stretched, giving you fresh and tight skin, with minimal discomfort and no downtime. Dr Aaron recommends skin tightening for all his patients, as its benefits cannot be overstated. It works great with other treatments in combination such as chemical peels, and Anti Wrinkle injections, meaning you can have smooth, tight skin, with a great complexion and even tone all year round.
Achieve the amazing skin you deserve with a personalised skin rejuvenation plan formulated by Dr. Aaron to ensure you can look amazing, and age gracefully.
Our exclusive Skin Tightening approaches are currently only available with Dr Aaron.
Stretching of the skin on the face occurs with age. The skin then sags, and wrinkles and folds develop as the muscles try and support the skin. Unfortunately, many people try to solve the problem using only Anti Wrinkle injections and Dermal Fillers, and his frequently leads to poor results (AKA looking ‘botched’). Dr Aaron considers Skin Tightening of the face to be vital in any comprehensive and well thought out treatment plan. With tight skin and good amounts of collagen, you can look your natural best, without relying on high volumes of Dermal Fillers or Anti Wrinkle injections.
The ageing neck is one of the most complicated areas to treat correctly in Cosmetic Medicine. There are many changes occurring simultaneously that lead to sagging, heaviness, bands, and a loss of the youthful neck contour. Collagen loss and weakening of the skin strength are common, and significantly under treated. Skin tightening can help provide a strong foundation with which to rejuvenate the neck using treatments such as Anti Wrinkle injections, Fat Dissolving and a non surgical neck lift with a Thread Lift.
Sun damage to the décolletage causes fine lines and wrinkles through collagen loss. By tightening the skin, Dr Aaron can rejuvenate this common sign of ageing with minimal discomfort, and no downtime.
Thinning of the skin on the hands is very common and under treated, and therefore is a giveaway for someone’s true age. Treatment begins with skin tightening to restore lost skin quality and collagen, and can be combined with Dermal Fillers or Collagen Stimulating injections to plump and restore lost volume.
Skin injury often leads to scarring. Scars can be unsightly, especially when affecting the face. By using Skin Tightening and other treatment modalities, the appearance of scars can be improved.
Skin tightening uses powerful radiofrequency energy, delivered with precision with tiny gold plated needles to heat and tighten the structural layer of the skin.
The best areas that can be treated are the following:
There is minimal pain with Skin Tightening, however Dr Aaron has different options for anaesthetic to reduce discomfort if pain is a concern for you.
In general, results are visible within 1-2 weeks. Most people need 3 treatments, a month apart for best results, followed by 6-12 monthly maintenance.
Skin tightening is an extremely safe procedure, with minimal side effects.
Side effects of Skin Tightening include slight redness and swelling which settle over a few hours. Rarely, bruising may also occur.
Skin Tightening is an extremely undervalued treatment. Regular Skin Tightening can help to significantly slow the ageing process, and provide a great foundation on which to perform other anti ageing treatments. If you want to age gracefully, and really look after your skin, then Skin tightening may be ideal for you.
