Several factors can cause your skin to loosen and sag. However, the most common causes of loose skin include:

Loose skin after weight loss
Sagging skin due to Aging
Post-Pregnancy skin conditions

You may want to learn how to tighten loose skin to improve your appearance and beauty. You can treat loose skin using a surgical or non-surgical procedure. Most clients prefer nonsurgical procedures since they have shorter recovery periods. But is non-surgical skin tightening ideal for you?

WHO'S A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR NONSURGICAL SKIN TIGHTENING?

Nonsurgical skin tightening works effectively on most clients. However, nonsurgical skin tightening is ideal for you if you meet the following conditions:

You maintain a healthy and balanced diet
You have a healthy weight and work to preserve it
You do not smoke, or those who quit smoking
You take little or no alcohol
You avoid the harmful UV light from the sun
You struggle with sagging skin

Nonsurgical skin tightening may not be ideal for pregnant clients, people suffering from skin infections or conditions, or persons under certain medications. But, before you conclude that nonsurgical skin tightening is not ideal for you, it is good to consult your dermatologists at BAM Aesthetics. Some skin infections can be treated before the nonsurgical tightening procedure.

BEST METHODS FOR FIRMER SKIN

We all want firm skin. But how do you make it firm? Here are some tips and the best method of maintaining firmer, healthier skin.

SKIN-FIRMING CREAMS AND LOTIONS

Skin-firming creams can keep your skin youthful and firm. But since there are numerous skin-firming creams and lotions in the market, you need a little knowledge when looking for tips on how to tighten skin using firming products. When shopping for a skin-firming product, look for one that contains retinoids. Retinoids are derivatives of vitamin A that increase skin cell proliferation, maturation, and turnover. In addition, look for a skin-firming product that contains hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid improves skin firmness while reducing wrinkles to give you a smooth skin tone.

SUPPLEMENTS

While you should not expect supplements to fix your loose skin immediately, they can help make it firmer. You can try hyaluronic supplements and see whether they work for you.

NON-INVASIVE SKIN TIGHTENING PROCEDURES

Sometimes you need more than skin-firming products and supplements to treat loose skin. In most cases, a non-invasive skin tightening procedure will work for you. Non-invasive skin tightening procedures like nonsurgical radiofrequency, laser treatment or ultrasound can treat loose or saggy skin more effectively. The good thing about non-invasive procedures is that their results are gradual and appear natural. They also have little or no downtime since they do not cut or puncture your skin. However, non-invasive procedures may not treat severe cases of saggy skin.

MINIMALLY INVASIVE PROCEDURES

If you have a lot of loose, excess skin, a minimally invasive procedure may be recommended. Minimally invasive procedures use similar techniques and devices as non-invasive procedures but may slightly injure your skin before tightening it. Minimally invasive procedures include:

Surgical radiofrequency. This procedure uses tiny tubes inserted through small incisions in the targeted area. The procedure takes place under anesthesia.
Intense pulsed light. The intense pulse light technology uses short bursts of high-intensity light energy to treat loose skin and age spots. One advantage of intense pulse light is that it can treat multiple skin conditions in one session.
Laser resurfacing. If the non-invasive procedures do not work, you can try laser resurfacing. Laser resurfacing can treat loose skin and rejuvenate your youthful looks.
