People consider loose, sagging skin a sign of aging, and most people want to look as young as possible for as long as possible. Because of this, some individuals seek out treatments for the sagging skin on their faces. There are a few alternatives for Face Tightening in Fairfax County VA.
Face Lift
Older individuals with skin that’s sagging quite a bit may only benefit from the more extreme face tightening alternatives, such as getting a facelift surgery. This tends to be expensive, lead to downtime, and leave scars (although these will be in less visible places, so they won’t be very noticeable). Not everyone is willing to take the risk of having surgery just to look better. However, this is the only way to change all layers of the face and will have the most visible effects.
Ultherapy
One alternative treatment for Face Tightening in Fairfax County VA for those who have relatively mild loose skin is Ultherapy. This treatment uses ultrasound to help increase the growth of new collagen to help minimize sagging skin. It works for the skin above the brows, under the chin and on the neck, and doesn’t require any downtime. This treatment will only affect the surface layers of the skin, so the skin’s appearance will be improved, but there could still be an issue with sagging muscles, for example.
Thermage
Another alternative for treating skin that’s sagging a bit is Thermage. This treatment uses radiofrequency energy to help tighten the skin near the eyes, on the face, and on the body. It may also help improve the amount of collagen a person has and only takes one treatment to have an effect. It isn’t invasive and doesn’t cause the need for any downtime, so it’s perfect for busy people. You’re likely to get the best results if you’re younger and if you visit a provider who does lots of these procedures and uses the larger heads for the Thermage device that provide more pulses. As with any non-surgical treatment, Thermage doesn’t affect the underlying structure of the face, such as the muscles, just the layers of skin near the surface.
