Skin loosening concerns all of us. It is one of the most important challenges for the dermatologist, who has to treat it by using different non-invasive techniques.
Why does the skin loosen?
The basic cause for skin loosening is a decrease in quality and the change in the quality of collagen and elastin. These substances are responsible for maintaining the hydration, elasticity and firmness of the skin.
What are the causes for the collagen and elastin decrease?
• Heredity.
• Hormonal changes (e.g. pregnancy, menopause, diabetes mellitus).
• Solar radiation.
• Low intake of antioxidant vitamins with foods (B12, A, C).
• Sharp fluctuations in weight.
• Exhaustive diets that lead to sudden weight loss.
• Smoking.
• Abrupt interruption of the sport.
What are the appropriate treatments to deal with mild to moderate skin loosening?
• BBL Skin-tyte technology (SCITON) which uses the energy of infrared light to cause temperature rise in the deeper skin layers and to mobilize the fibroblasts to produce ‘’new’’ collagen, resulting in tightening. This collagen production continues for months even after the end of treatment, enhancing the final result.
• RF (radiofrequency) 3 MAX-plus. It is a multipolar radiofrequency, with a mechanism of action similar to BBL skin-tyte (Sciton). It raises the temperature deep into the skin and stimulates the collagen production.
• Mesotherapy with special tightening materials.
• PDO / APTOS thread lifting.
• HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound).
