Skin Tightening

This is a natural part of aging and can happen anywhere on the body, including but not limited to your face, neck, chest, upper arms, stomach and hands.

Ways To Tighten Skin

Tighten Skin Non-Surgically 

Non-Surgically you can heat skin which is the most common technique, when heating skin to a particular temperature it causes the collagen fibres to shrink and therefore tighten.

We have many Skin Tightening Treatments at Zenith Cosmetic Clinics that can do this. We have listed them below, please do click on each treatment for more information:

• AccuTite, FaceTite, NeckTite & BodyTite 
• CO2 Laser Resurfacing
• Coolsculpting
• EndyMed 
• HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) 
• Morpheus 8 
• Cristal Fat Freezing (Injections)

Also included under Non-Surgical treatments, although not involving heating the skin, is a new treatment called Profhilo. This is an injectable treatment and when injected into skin, Profhilo stimulates the skin cell receptors to counteract skin laxity and improve and restore firmness of the skin! Think of Profhilo as an internal moisturizer with stimulating properties.

History of Skin Tightening

It was first noticed by surgeons, who worked with burns, many decades ago that those who had very mild burns often had less wrinkling of their skin as a consequence. Obviously the lack of control of the skin temperature during a burn is a big issue and results in scarring. Thus the early plastic surgeons devised methods of heating the skin to the precise temperature to get the contraction but not the scarring.

Over time the CO2 laser was developed to be able to apply this burn in a very controlled way and has been used for over 30 years. This was used to burn the epidermis (superficial layer of skin) off to a depth of 0.2-0.3mm.

It was proven that the effect of heating the skin depended on which layer of the skin was heated and to get the heat into the deep layer of skin where our collagen is, was more important than just burning the skin at surface level. It was also discovered that leaving healthy skin between treated areas meant that the treated areas healed better!

Fractional lasers were then developed that could penetrate deeper in the skin. The important difference was that they left untreated areas between columns of treatment, and consequently there was little or no scarring.
