What is skin tightening?
Skin tightening is a nonsurgical treatment option to address wrinkles, lines, and areas of saggy skin that prematurely age you.
The goals of skin tightening are to trigger the body’s own healing ability and stimulate the increased production of new collagen and elastin. These proteins are essential building blocks of healthy skin and can revitalize the look and feel of your face and other areas of your body.
The providers at Atlantic OB/GYN Associates, PC use the latest nonsurgical skin-tightening technology right in their office to achieve optimal results. They offer treatments with TempSure® Envi and TempSure® Firm by Cynosure®.
How does skin tightening work?
Dr. Patel creates a custom treatment that focuses on your unique needs. She can determine which technology is right for you based on your cosmetic goals and your existing health.
You may benefit from treatments using:
TempSure Envi
The TempSure Envi technology uses radiofrequency energy to treat the delicate skin on your face, neck, and hands.
TempSure Firm
The TempSure Firm system uses radiofrequency energy to address loose skin on your:
- Arms
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- Abdomen
During your treatment, Dr. Patel delivers the radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of tissue beneath your skin using a handheld device. The procedure requires no incisions or anesthesia.
You can expect to lie comfortably on an exam table and relax throughout your treatment. Skin-tightening sessions are quick and require no downtime or recovery period.
How long until I can see the results of skin tightening?
After you have skin-tightening treatments with radiofrequency energy, your body’s own natural processes go to work, so it can take several weeks to achieve your desired results.
As your body begins producing new collagen and elastin, you’ll notice your skin begins to plump and wrinkles and lines begin to smooth out. You can expect to see the maximum benefit of your treatment within 4-6 weeks, and Dr. Patel may recommend additional treatments to help you achieve your ideal results.
