Types of skin tightening treatments
When you’re born, your skin is rich with proteins called elastin and collagen. These proteins give your skin structure and elasticity. As you age, your body’s production of these proteins slows down. As a result, your skin starts to lose its elasticity.
Thanks to gravity, pollution exposure, stress, and the hundreds of movements that your facial muscles make every day, your skin might start to appear stretched or saggy. Other factors, such as pregnancy and weight loss, can also contribute to stretch marks and sagging skin.
Nonsurgical skin tightening treatments target areas of your skin that have become loose and stimulate collagen production underneath that skin. The two main types of treatment are:
- in-office procedures performed by a trained provider
- at-home devices you can use to give yourself treatment
Side effects
Side effects of skin tightening treatments are mild to moderate. Side effects may include mild:
- swelling
- bruising
- redness
- tingling
- soreness
In rare cases, your skin may become burned. Using a licensed and trained practitioner greatly reduces the risk of serious complications.
