Today, the most annoying of the signs of aging are the looseness and sagging that occur on our face, especially in the lower face area and neck, due to the decrease in skin elasticity. Non-surgical stretching procedures applied for this problem, which started to occur especially in the 30s and early 40s, solves the current problem before it grows, and allows to postpone the surgical procedures that may be required in the future.
What is skin tightening?
Skin tightening with laser can be done with devices using radiofrequency (RF) or ultrasound (HIFU) energy. These lasers provide a controlled temperature increase in the area by giving the energy to the desired depth under the skin. As a result of the stimulation created in the area with this warming, it is ensured that the body produces collagen and elastin, which will provide skin elasticity and tightening . These treatments are especially effective on the lower face, neck, around the eyes, forehead and mid face.
In our clinic, we perform skin tightening with gold needle fractional radiofrequency.
What is the difference between needle and needle-free radiofrequency?
With needleless heads, RF energy is focused by the device and shows efficiency at certain depths and these depths cannot be changed by the user. In needle systems, manual application can be made to the desired depth according to the skin thickness of the person.
How is the application made?
Before the application, a numbing cream is applied to the face and waited for 30 minutes. Afterwards, the face is cleaned and applied. The application takes 20-30 minutes on average. Although there is more sensitivity in certain areas (forehead, under the eyes, above the lips), there is no severe pain.
After application
After the application, redness occurs on the face. This redness, which lasts for about 2-3 hours, can be easily covered with make-up. It is important to protect our face from cold in the first 24 hours after the application. You can wash your face with warm water or take a warm shower. Moisturizing your skin regularly after the application will also increase your comfort after the application.
You can start to see the effects of laser treatments for skin tightening in the early period. But their main activity will appear 30-45 days after the application with the effect of collagen and elastin produced by the body .
