Loose skin

Aging, weight loss, sun damage, smoking and poor nutrition can all contribute to the loss of elasticity in the skin. And while nothing can completely restore the tightness and firmness of youthful skin, there are effective microneedling (also known as collagen-induction therapy) treatments available to help tighten both facial and body skin.

The Midtown Health and Wellness Clinic - Aesthetics offers the Potenza™ radiofrequency microneedling treatment by Cynosure®, which actually stimulates the body’s collagen and elastin. The Potenza treatment uses ultrafine needles and radiofrequency energy to penetrate the top layer of the skin — with the ability to deliver energy into the dermis, the resulting micro-energy enhances skin tightening (through soft-tissue coagulation).

 
The eDermaStamp® by Dermaroller® microneedling device uses surgical-grade microneedles to reach into the skin’s dermis, triggering the body’s spontaneous healing response and thus stimulating cell proliferation and the formation of new collagen.

 
Rounding out the clinic’s treatments for loose skin, TriPollar® RF Skin Tightening uses radiofrequency energy to gradually heat the deep dermal layers — which contracts collagen fibres and elastin, and results in immediate and long-term skin tightening.

In addition, the clinic carries some of the highest-rated medical-grade skin-care products available to help treat loose skin, such as:

Alastin® Skincare TransFORM Body Treatment

Alastin Skincare Restorative Neck Complex

See the site’s “Skin care and other products” section for more information on these brands.

Daily use of a high-protection broad-spectrum sunscreen is also important to help prevent the development of loose skin. Contact the clinic for information about the sunscreens we carry as well as the treatments and products mentioned above.
