Non-Surgical Skin Tightening: A Beginner’s Guide

There are many reasons we might want our skin to be a little tighter. From sagging jowls to extra skin following weight loss, it was once only possible to do this with a surgical procedure.

Today, thankfully, there are many effective methods of tightening the skin without going under the knife. The following looks at some of the best on the market today—and you’ll be delighted to hear that they don’t necessarily cost the earth… 

The Easy Route to Skin Tightening 

• Non-surgical methods

Non-surgical methods

Wrinkly, saggy, loose skin… There aren’t many of us who’re lucky enough not to be blighted with it on different areas of our bodies. As we get older, it’s virtually a given that the skin starts to droop. This might be on your face, arms, abdomen, butt… Gravity has a lot to answer for! Other common reasons for sagging skin are when you’ve lost a great deal of weight or after pregnancy.

Thankfully there are now a variety of effective options to combat this unwanted phenomenon—whatever the reason behind it might be.

The aim of non-surgical skin tightening treatments is to increase the supportive levels of collagen and elastin within the skin. They do so instantly, lifting and tightening the skin (and without a scalpel in sight!).

The tools behind non-surgical skin tightening are light and laser. These come under different trade names—one of the most successful is Ultherapy. The process uses radiofrequency and ultrasound to reduce the sagging and improve the skin’s structure, refreshing and lifting it for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. 

The process is completely non-invasive. It can be used on almost all areas of the body, including:

• Jawline
• Jowls
• Upper eyes
• Under eye bags
• Cheeks
• Neck
• Stomach
• Upper arm

In conjunction with advanced skin tightening treatments, careful at-home care can further enhance the process. These include: 

• Structured exercise
• The use of dermatologist-approved firming products
• Weight loss (if necessary)
• Massage treatments
• Supplements

Exercise and keeping your weight within healthy parameters also have massive benefits to your whole well-being. Not only will it help with keeping the skin firm and tight, but it will have a wonderful knock-on effect on your health.

• Improved cardiovascular health
• Lowered blood pressure
• Improved blood sugar stability
• Increased energy levels
• Reduces fatigue
• Lowered risk of various health conditions, including diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, etc. 

There really is no need to live with unsightly, sagging skin. No matter what your age, a non-surgical skin tightening treatment can have a dramatic effect. Your dermatologist might also recommend other, complementary treatments that could further enhance the results, such as laser peeling.  

The best treatments are always bespoke, designed for your unique skin and body needs. That’s why it’s important to go to a highly experienced dermatologist who’ll assess you and understand your goals before recommending the best options that will give the results you desire.
