Skin tightening procedures are able to tighten and smooth the skin for a healthier, more youthful glow. These procedures promote new collagen growth deep within the skin in order to decrease the appearance of wrinkles and provide an overall refreshed look to the skin.
At the office of Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Steven H. Dayan of Chicago, Illinois, we use multiple technologies for skin tightening. These can improve mild to moderate fine lines and wrinkles occurring around the eyes and mouth, as well as mild to moderate skin laxity, or sagging in various spots on the body. It is a good option for individuals in need of more limited lifting who are not yet ready for a facelift, and for those who have already had a facelift and need a little touch-up.
Minimally invasive skin tightening procedures are performed in the office, do not require anesthesia and involve minimal risk. Treatment times average thirty minutes to one hour depending on the area being treated. It is important to remember that these are progressive treatments. Results are not seen immediately but rather improve with time.
Morpheus8
Achieve younger-looking skin on your face and body with this advanced microneedling and fractional radio frequency (RF) device at SDMD designed to smooth the skin. Morpheus8 targets the skin in the treatment area more deeply than any other microneedling device available, affecting deeper layers of skin and fat with the tiny needles and fractionated radio frequency energy. The treatment encourages the skin’s natural healing process while at the same time tightening, lifting, and smoothing lax regions for an immediate and dramatic overall rejuvenation effect, all without the need for surgery.
Morpheus8 may help to:
- Diminish lines and wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds
- Lift and tighten lax skin in various areas, such as around the jowls
- Smooth skin
- Reveal a younger-looking appearance
- Provide long-lasting skin rejuvenation
FaceTite
This is a minimally-invasive solution for contouring the face. Dr. Dayan could help you achieve results similar to a facelift without excisional surgery. FaceTite provides dramatic improvement in skin laxity on the face and neck utilizing minimally-invasive radio frequency energy to melt fat and tighten skin.
This is a safe, effective, and exciting treatment that tends to provide patients with significant aesthetic changes. FaceTite works using RFAL (Radio-Frequency Assisted Lipolysis) and provides exceptional internal and external lipolysis, resulting in 3D remodeling of the fibrous septa.
It is performed under local anesthesia or light sedation. Post procedure, patients can go home and resume regular activities shortly after. Wearing a compression garment is required for the best results.
