Skin Tightening
Understanding Nonsurgical Skin Tightening
Nonsurgical skin tightening addresses the natural loss of collagen and elastin that occurs with aging. These proteins are crucial for maintaining skin’s firmness and elasticity. As they deplete over time, skin becomes looser and develops fine lines and wrinkles. Nonsurgical skin tightening uses advanced technologies, such as plasma and ultrasound, to stimulate collagen and elastin production, effectively reversing some signs of aging. This approach improves skin texture and tone without the need for invasive procedures, offering a rejuvenated complexion with minimal downtime.
Treatment Overview
Oak Dermatology utilizes cutting-edge technologies like Opus Plasma and Sofwave™ for nonsurgical skin tightening. Opus Plasma uses fractionated plasma energy to create microscopic channels in the skin, stimulating collagen production and achieving results similar to aggressive CO2 laser treatments but with less downtime. Sofwave™ employs ultrasound technology to deliver deep thermal energy, precisely targeting the mid-dermis to stimulate collagen production and improve skin laxity. Both treatments are quick, typically lasting 30-45 minutes, and allow patients to resume regular activities immediately after.
