Varied Methods For Skin Tightening

By Lelia Hall


The body goes through a lot of toil when we age, what with weight loss and gain, poor dietary habits, and external exposure to sunlight or tanning beds, and pollution. These come together to create fine lines, and loose or sagging areas of the face and body. For people coming out of Cincinnati, OH, finding surgical alternatives for skin tightening is important.

An initial search on the Internet reveals that plastic surgeons have the basic attitude that a nip and tuck procedure is the only true way to get this tightening accomplished. They will swear that it is not risky and has few or no side effects. However, we can never allow ourselves to forget how many women have gotten sick, and died, due to the leaking silicone implants that plastic surgeons also swore were safe.

The fact is, these surgeons have a bad reputation, and many have earned it. There have been some who were not even qualified to perform the procedure for which they were hired, and these charlatans have damaged and killed many women. If one is seeking this type of solution, surgery should always be a last-resort, and they should use great care in choosing a qualified, licensed plastic surgeon who can provide solid references.

Dermabrasion, or microdermabrasion, has become a popular method for ridding the face of fine lines. The kit involves a roller with tiny needles which are rolled across the face. This abrasion of the face causes the body to release elastin which helps tissues shrink back to their original form, and collagen which helps to plump up the epidermis and erase crows feet and fine lines.

Elastin and collagen are two primary proteins involved in maintaining a healthy, young-looking face. The forced release of collagen helps to plump up the face, thus ridding one of tiny lines, crows feet, and sagging. It is a simple solution, and most people only need to use their roller about once a week.

When engaged in these treatments having the proper moisturizer is very important. Shea butter is the most commonly recommended cream due to the fact that it absorbs instantly and leaves no oily residue. The contents of the Vitamin E caplets are also commonly recommended, as these help the dermis to heal without scarring, and can even get rid of old scar tissue.

Chemical peels are frequently utilized to heal scars and reveal healthy skin. This method has seen a great deal of success with not only clearing the complexion, but also healing scars and stretch marks. One must take heed, as this can also result in areas of discoloration which must be kept out of the sun, and can take a good long time to heal.

No method of rejuvenation is complete without the added benefit of a healthy, or at least balanced lifestyle. Exercise and diet alone can go a long way towards keeping the face and body firm and fit. By ridding the body of cellulite, at the same time one treats the outer layer for lines, sagging, or stretch marks; a total makeover can be experienced without the use of a scalpel.
