A few things in life are inevitable—loose skin is one of them. As we age, our skin thins as collagen and elastin production decline. The results? Sagging tissue, volume loss, and deep wrinkles.
Glanced in the mirror recently and found your appearance doesn’t match your inner vitality? Consider investing in noninvasive skin tightening treatments.
Near Cincinnati, our team at Dermatology Aesthetics of Northern Kentucky empowers our patients to look and feel their best at any age. Whether you’re seeking to restore skin density or enhance elasticity, we have innovative products and services to enhance your self-confidence.
Identifying Skin Laxity
At our skin clinic, every aesthetic journey begins with a personalized consultation.
Before recommending our noninvasive skin tightening treatments near Cincinnati, our providers evaluate laxity using multiple clinical and visual metrics, including:
- Degree of Laxity: We categorize skin looseness into 3 stages: mild (subtle fine lines), moderate (visible sagging), and advanced (significant wrinkles and deep folds).
- Skin Quality: Our providers assess skin density (firmness) and elasticity (tightness) while identifying UV and environmental damage.
- Facial Structure and Support: The structures underneath your skin—the bones and fat layers—support the tissue. We analyze your bone structure and identify lost facial volume.
- Skin Movement: Lines that form during facial expressions, such as frowning or squinting, are dynamic wrinkles, while those that remain visible even when the face is at rest are static wrinkles.
- Anatomical Concerns: We identify facial imbalances that don’t provide ample skin support, highlighting laxity on the neck and jaw.
Identifying the Cause of Skin Laxity
Our providers use these metrics to understand the unique causes of each patient’s skin laxity. We don’t just ask, “Is the skin loose?”—we identify why it’s loose.
True skin laxity, facial volume loss, and aging tissue can look similar, but they require different treatment approaches.
Our Noninvasive Skin Tightening Treatments
Near Cincinnati, our providers choose from our curated range of noninvasive treatments to create a personalized treatment strategy. We tailor our recommendations to your specific type of skin laxity, the underlying causes, and your treatment preferences.
1. Sofwave
Sofwave utilizes SUPERB (synchronous ultrasound parallel beam) technology to address structural skin laxity caused by decreased collagen levels.
The FDA-approved technique heats deep tissue layers to activate the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid (HA). The result is a non-invasive “lift” that yields tighter, firmer, and younger-looking skin.
2. Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers, or hyaluronic acid (HA) based cosmetic injectables physically “fill” sunken or hollow areas of the face to “plump” loose skin caused by declining elastin production. Biostimulatory injections like Radiesse stimulate collagen production while adding volume to hollow or sunken areas of the face.
By restoring lost facial volume with this gel-like injectable, our providers can strategically contour the face and minimize fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
3. HALO
HALO offers a hybrid approach to laser resurfacing by combining ablative and non-ablative wavelengths. This approach resurfaces the skin while simultaneously activating the body’s healing response.
This stimulates deeper collagen remodeling to improve skin tone, texture, and quality with precision.
