Skin Tightning

If you're seeking a solution to combat wrinkles, fine lines, skin laxity, or crepiness, Lebaron Aesthetic Clinic has the answers. We offer a range of non-surgical skin tightening and rejuvenation treatments designed to address these concerns and restore the youthfulness of your skin. Our skincare experts, based in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, provide effective in-office skin tightening solutions to reverse the signs of aging without the need for surgery.

Reason

Skin looseness, also known as laxity, occurs due to factors such as aging, sun exposure, weight loss, genetics, lifestyle choices, repeated muscle movements, hormonal changes, childbirth, medical conditions, and gravity. Collagen and elastin loss with age, UV damage, and rapid weight loss can lead to sagging skin. Skin tightening treatments help restore firmness and elasticity by stimulating collagen and elastin production.

Understanding Wrinkles: Why Do They Form

Wrinkles are a natural consequence of the aging process, primarily influenced by our genetic makeup, which dictates our skin’s structure and texture. However, several factors contribute to wrinkle formation.

Sun Exposure

UV light from the sun is the leading cause of premature wrinkling. It damages and breaks down collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, resulting in a loss of strength, flexibility, and elasticity. This damage leads to lax, loose, and wrinkled skin.

Skin Dryness

Aging leads to a reduction in the production of natural skin oils, making the skin dry. Fine lines and wrinkles become more pronounced in dry skin.

Loss of Fat

Over time, the deep layers of fat in the skin decrease, leading to saggy, loose skin in affected areas, making lines and creases more noticeable.

Smoking

Smoking accelerates the skin’s aging process and exacerbates the formation of wrinkles.

Repeated Muscle Movements

Facial expressions involving repeated muscle movements, such as smiling and squinting, contribute to wrinkles. These movements cause the skin to fold in a specific way repeatedly, resulting in a loss of elasticity, making the folds permanent over time.

How Does Skin Tightening Work?

Skin loosening and wrinkles arise from collagen and elastin breakdown, sun damage, volume loss, and muscle movements. The goal of Lebaron’s skin tightening specialists is to address each of these factors comprehensively.

Skin tightening procedures aim to boost collagen and elastin production in the skin. Daily use of quality sunscreen is essential to protect the skin. Volume can be restored using injectable fillers, and muscle movement can be relaxed with Botox. Adequate moisturization is also vital as part of daily skincare.

At Lebaron Aesthetic Clinic, various procedures are available to increase collagen and elastin production, effectively smoothing wrinkles. Each procedure operates through a distinct mechanism, and the best results are achieved through a combination of these treatments. This approach stimulates the skin to produce more collagen and elastin by delivering messages through different mechanisms.

Some of the procedures utilized to achieve smoother skin include:
– Forma® and Tite® by InMode (utilizing radiofrequency energy)
– Exilis® by BTL (a combination of radiofrequency energy and ultrasound)
– Microneedling with radiofrequency energy (Morpheus8 by InMode)

These procedures work together to stimulate collagen and elastin production, helping you attain the smooth and youthful skin you desire.
