Your skin is made out of proteins called elastin and collagen when you’re born. These proteins provide your skin structure and flexibility. As you age, the protein synthesis in your body slows down and as a consequence, your skin begins to become less elastic and more loose. With gravity, exposure to pollution, stress and hundreds of movements every day your face muscles may begin to stretch your skin and it may become saggy. Stretch marks and sagging skin can also be caused by other factors such as pregnancy and weight loss.
Non-surgical skin treatments are aimed at parts of your skin that are stretched, become loose lose its elasticity, collagen and encourage skin collagen formation.
The first technology to use the concept of “wake up” or rehabilitate collagen was Thermage. This procedure is non-invasive and helps tighten your skin naturally as it restores the production of collagen. Thermage uses regulated radiofrequency waves into the skin to tighten it. The technique is performed with local numbing cream and no recovery time is required.
Thermage requires one session, however, some people can take advantage of several sessions. Other radiofrequency treatment types usually take several sessions for effects to be seen. Regardless of whether you receive one or more treatments, improvements can be noticed only slightly immediately, usually taking 4 months to take effect.
