Skin Tightening by Posh Plastic Surgery

Skin Tightening – Near Infrared (780-950nm)
The Alma Harmony skin tightening hand piece treats conditions of loose and sagging skin caused by aging, especially around the neck, eye and facial area. By penetrating deep into the dermal layer, it creates a firming of the tissue through two processes. Firstly, it causes shrinking of the collagen which tightens the tissue beneath the skin and secondly it causes what is known as micro-thermal injury which simulates repair and regeneration of the dermal layer without damage to the epidermal layer of skin. A series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart can create tighter, fresher looking skin with virtually no downtime.

Causes of Loose Skin

There can be several reasons why patients develop loose skin. Aging is one of the biggest contributors. Collagen protein and elastin protein in the skin tissue keep skin elastic and taut. With aging, the production rate of collagen and elastin declines, leading to sagging skin.

With reduced elasticity, expanded skin is unable to shrink back down adequately. Because of this, losing a significant amount of weight in a short amount of time is a major factor in the development of loose skin. Pregnancy has been known to cause this issue to occur, as well, and it’s not always contained around the abdomen.

Certain types of illnesses can also result in loose skin, as can the treatments for these illnesses. Regardless of the cause of loose skin, Alma Harmony skin tightening is available to reverse the problem.

Preventing Loose Skin

Loose skin is an issue that everyone has to deal with eventually, but people can take a number of steps to delay it. The first step is maintaining a healthy, balanced diet. Nutrients are used by skin cells to help them stay in the best possible condition. Nutrients are also used for the production of collagen and even when shedding older skin cells.

Regular exercise is another point to consider, since it improves blood flow and the immune system. Finally, maintaining a healthy sleep schedule and avoiding stress would be recommended.
