Through age, environmental stressors, and pregnancy we see the changes in the health of our skin. It’s normal for our skin to produce less collagen and elastin. These are the proteins that hold up the skin as if gravity didn’t exist!  

Fortunately, we now have access to technology that can help improve our skin health and give it a youthful and vibrant appearance. While surgery was once the go-to choose for skin tightening, that has changed with the availability of many non-surgical skin tightening options. 

At ZEST, we want to help you feel your best and glow from in and out. We have a range of options for you.  

In this blog, we will explore the effectiveness of skin tightening treatments in addressing various skin concerns. We will also cover whether age should be taken into consideration when seeking skin tightening treatments to reduce signs of aging. 

Why Skin Tightening is a Great Treatment & What Concerns It Can Tackle  

Typically, non-invasive skin tightening treatments work by delivering targeted energy to the deeper layers of skin, which then stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. This leads to a gradual improvement in skin tone and texture. 

Other Benefits of Skin Tightening Include:  

  • Little to no downtime needed.  
  • Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.  
  • Improved overall skin complexion.  
  • Relatively quick treatment – typically 1hr or less.  
  • Painless. 
  • Results can last up to a few years. 

 

There are various laser skin tightening treatments available that address specific issues, and they are safe for both men and women, as well as all skin types.  

One of the questions that remains is whether there is a specific time frame for these treatments. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Non-Surgical Skin Tightening?  

The appropriate timing for skin tightening procedures can differ among patients and can be impacted by weight loss, pregnancy, and other elements. The loss of collagen starts to occur in the mid-20s, and elastin depletion begins in the mid-30s. For the majority of individuals, the mid-30s are the optimum time to initiate skin tightening treatments. Nevertheless, the ages of our skin tightening patients can span from 30 to 65, as substantial results can be observed within that entire age range. 

Although the results may not be as pronounced, skin tightening treatments can still provide benefits even later in life. If a person has noticeable signs of aging, they may need to combine treatments, such as fillers and non-surgical sculpting, to get the results they want.   

For example, an individual over 50 with deep wrinkles may require these additional procedures to restore facial volume and balance.  

Recommendations for skin tightening treatments vary for each client and their specific goals.
