We may be approaching the end of summer, but the warm weather is still here. And with the end of summer comes the last few trips to the beach, cookouts with family and friends, and so much more. But as you’re standing in front of the mirror wearing your swimsuit or a cute summer dress, you take a step closer for a better view. Suddenly you notice that your skin isn’t as tight as it once was. Now you’re starting to look for ways to cover up. And in the heat of the summer, this is less than ideal!
Skin laxity affects more than just your face. It can affect the skin on your neck, arms, abdomen, thighs, and more. Basically, any place on your body that has skin can be affected by the natural aging process. As we age, our bodies begin slowing down production of collagen and elastin and the skin becomes less firm and plump. Areas of laxity and sagging begin to appear, along with wrinkles. But, aging is not the only thing that causes these issues.
Sun exposure and exposure to other impurities in the air can lead to the breakdown of collagen and elastin. Pregnancy and weight loss can also lead to loose, sagging skin. These issues can cause a significant amount of self-consciousness, leading you to try to cover up your body. In the heat of summer, that’s just plain uncomfortable. But just because your skin is starting to age, that doesn’t mean that you need to let it go without putting up a fight!
At Clarity Medical Aesthetics, we can help to restore smoother, tighter skin with these incredible radio frequency treatments:
Exilis Ultra 360
Exilis Ultra 360 is a mono-polar radio frequency treatment that has been approved by the FDA and is used to improve laxity and reduce lines on the forehead, around the eyes, jowls, nasolabial folds, and the neck. It uses both radio frequency as well as ultrasound technology, which enables the radio frequency waves to penetrate deep into the fat layer of your skin. At this depth, the radio frequency heat helps to destroy micro areas of fat cells. Exilis Ultra 360 also heats the skin to 41 to 43 degrees Celsius, the optimal temperature for stimulating production of new collagen and elastin.
Forma Plus
Forma Plus uses SMART RF technology to deliver radio frequency waves. Like Exilis Ultra 360, Forma Plus can be used to treat laxity and reduce lines around the eyes, the forehead area, the nasolabial folds, jowls, and the neck. The SMART RF technology measures the radio frequency energy continuously to ensure that your skin is heated to between 41 and 43 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, collagen and elastin can rebuild, restoring the tightness to your skin.
Fractora
Fractora is a treatment that uses fractional radio frequency to rejuvenate and resurface the skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, improve skin texture, and improve the appearance of crepey skin. With Fractora, we can treat issues such as acne scars, lines on your lips, laugh lines, jowls, sun spots or sun damage, crepey skin under the eyes, and crow’s feet.
Using a micro-pin handheld device, the skin is perforated, or ablated, in a controlled manner while also delivering radio frequency energy to heat the deeper layers of your skin. By perforating the skin, we are able to stimulate the growth of new cells to help re-texturize your skin. The heat delivered into the deeper layers of your skin also aids in stimulating your body’s own natural collagen production.
Body FX
Body FX is a body contouring treatment. It uses a combination of radio frequency energy, deep tissue heating, and vacuum suction. The goal of this particular treatment is to eliminate micro-pockets of stubborn fat and smooth the appearance of dimpled skin. The vacuum suction helps the radio frequency energy to reach the underlying fat. This allows the skin to contract while also destroying the fat cells.
Body FX can be used on several different areas of the body, including the bra line, abdomen, love handles, hips, thighs (both inner and outer areas), and other small pockets of unwanted fat. In addition to destroying unwanted fat cells, the radio frequency energy stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, which helps the skin to contract, improving texture and tone while also reducing the appearance of sagging.
Since people exhibit skin laxity differently on different parts of the body, offering only one type of radio frequency treatment may not solve all of the variations of skin laxity you might be experiencing. With a free consultation, we can help find the best combination of treatments to meet your needs.
I, along with my staff of RNs, undergo regular training to make sure we’re all experts on the latest treatment protocols on all of the radio frequency treatments we offer. This ensures that our patients receive the best possible results.
