Gravity and time gradually take a toll on our skin as we age. By the time many people hit their 50s and 60s, they feel unhappy with the quality and tone of their skin. Pregnancy, fast weight loss, and the natural effects of environmental exposure can leave you with loose, excess skin.
Fortunately, using non-surgical skin tightening techniques, our skilled plastic surgeons can effectively tighten the skin on your face, neck, and body. By undergoing non-surgical skin tightening in Kansas City, you can enjoy an improved appearance and delay the need for invasive surgery. Call our team at Associated Plastic Surgeons today to learn more about these popular treatments available at our MedSpa.
Several factors are responsible for causing loose and sagging skin. The primary cause is the loss of collagen proteins with aging. Collagen is responsible for the natural elasticity and structure of the skin and gives the face a youthful and smooth appearance.
Collagen provides support to the skin, bones, and other connective tissue. In simple terms, collagen holds the body together. However, starting during the mid-20s, the body makes less collagen, significantly impacting skin aging. Other causes for loose skin include:
For example, exposure to environmental pollutants, smoking, sun exposure, and drinking excess alcohol can increase collagen loss. Weight fluctuations—such as after a significant weight loss or pregnancy—can trigger skin laxity and sagging. The skin cannot always contract after excessive weight loss, which leaves unwanted sagging skin over the thighs, abdomen, and face.
We offer several non-surgical skin tightening procedures in Kansas City that could help restore a youthful and toned appearance. Our team of seasoned plastic surgeons will create a customized treatment plan to address your specific cosmetic concerns and goals. Several non-surgical treatments can occur in combination to improve your results.
Radiofrequency and ultrasound are two treatments applied directly over the target area. They concentrate energy, creating heat and stimulating collagen production, resulting in firmer skin. At Associated Plastic Surgeons, we offer ENDYMED and Morpheus8 skin tightening and contouring, which uses the latest radiofrequency technology to provide safe and effective skin rejuvenation.
Injectable fillers are another non-surgical choice that helps restore the loss of collagen and add volume to areas that are sagging. Fillers can help create a more chiseled structure and help support tissue. They are often applied to the face and require an application every six months to one year to retain the desired effectiveness.
Microneedling is a non-surgical treatment during which tiny needles make small punctures to the skin, which helps stimulate collagen production. Combined with radiofrequency therapies, it can be an effective means of non-surgical skin tightening.
Some men and women may choose thread lifting to tighten lax tissue in the facial area. Tiny needles place special suture threads to lift tissue along areas of the face and create a more youthful look.
Those with mild to moderate skin laxity are ideal candidates for non-surgical skin tightening in Kansas City. Typically, the procedures have the best results on individuals with early signs of aging.
Many of our patients use non-surgical skin tightening to avoid the need for more invasive procedures in the future. These treatments can delay and even eliminate the need for surgery when they are applied preventively. For individuals who have undergone a traditional facelift, non-surgical skin tightening procedures can help maintain the results.
