All I can ever find on here is face/neck/chest rejuvenation. I am 45 years in good shape, starting to see the usual sag and dryer/crepier skin with sun damage. I know difference of body vs face skin matters. So no CO2 for body or Fraxel? Full body IPL, best tightening like an RF or Ulthera? How can I have 20s skin again, soft supple, no sag, crepe no spots. Best protocol suggestions using multiple devices or creams/peels BODY ONLY. Thanks!
Answer: Skin Tightening Body Thanks for your question. In non-surgical aesthetics, skin tightening is going to be "all about heat delivery". This is because the microinjury of heat is needed to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin, which happens during the healing response to the treatment. There are many devices which deliver what is called "bulk heating"- this means they deliver heat, often through radiofrequency energy, to the tissue without any 'disruption' of the skin surface. Example: Venus Bliss, but there are many, many devices which work "like this". The upside of this approach is zero downtime. The downside is you are often talking about 8 to 12 sessions, then a maintenance session every few months for a while ideally. So that's time and labor intensive. Another downside- because you are transmitting heat from the surface straight through, there is a "limit" to how high the heat can be set in order not to burn the surface skin. The next level of approach, to get around that limitation, is to deliver the heat at the tips of microneedles which penetrate the skin surface. This requires numbing of course. These microneedles are insulated partially so that significant heat does not reach the skin surface (no burn)- so now you CAN deliver very high temps to the deeper skin/fat layers and more heat + more penetration more results in fewer treatment sessions. You pay for this with some downtime- mainly redness, some puffiness, temporary "dots" on the skin- all of that resolves over the course of a few weeks of course. A great example of this type of treatment is Morpheus8 Body. This is the most advanced device of its kind available in the US. So, you could certainly do a series of 3 Morpheus8 Body sessions to any area you wish and achieve a very nice result with minor downtime. Finally, you could also consider a procedure called BodyTite, which is also performed off the Morpheus8 device. This is the "highest level" of tightening in a SINGLE procedure, but it requires more numbing (lidocaine infused into the tissues) and it involves a heat probe gliding in the fatty layer under the skin, delivering the heat to "full thickness" skin and fat. Very potent tightening, but more downtime as you wear a compression garment afterwards for a couple of weeks to speed healing and resolution of swelling. Most clients are satisfied with the results of a single BodyTite session for a region, though it could be repeated if and when desired. This procedure is considered minimally invasive, completely non-surgical. Targeting brown spots requires either laser or IPL and must be done with care if you are planning any sun exposure in the near future, They also cannot be performed on skin that is tanned. I hope that is helpful to you!

Answer: Procedures and treatments for body skin tightening Many factors can negatively affect skin and cause premature aging....poor diet, hormonal changes(peri/menopause), dehydration, genetics, cumulative sun damage, smoking, etc. with regards to body skin tightening I think you have a couple of options. Treat the skin with hydrating serums/creams, protect against further sun damage by using sunscreen, vits such as A & E, get hormones checked....estradiol (bioidentical) is great for the skin. Consider tightening the skin by using a transdermal approach....such as micro-needling +/- RF or you could use something that tightens from underneath the skin like Renuvion (Jplasma) or Bodytite. If this doesn't help then you could consider surgical options such as a tummy tuck....as long as you're ok with the scar. Hope this helps!

Answer: Detailed Treatment Options Hello; with a single treatment; you can only look for a solution to a unique problem. Different treatment options for skin tightening; there are separate treatment options for skin discoloration as well.Non-surgical options for skin tightening; which options such as Thermage flx, Ulthera or Lanluma (PLLA) injection. Surgical options; these are options; such as Bodytite and Renuvion J Plasma. All treatments use different ways; in order to stimulate collagen and the level of expected effects is also different. Thermage method, tries to achieve the heat affect, Ulthera technique tries to success the subcutaneous wounding effect and PLLA tries to achieve this; by directly injected material. Bodytite heats the tissues up to 65-70 °C with Bipolar Radiofrequency. Afterwards, collagen production is stimulated; provides for tightening. My favourite one, among these treatments is "Renuvion J Plasma". With Renuvion J Plasma; tissues are safely heated up to 80-85 °C. This temperature, is the degree at; which collagen production is most optimally stimulated. Later on that, a serious tightening of the skin is happening.There are implementations, such as IPL, Q Switched Laser or Pico Laser in order to decrease for sun-related spots on the skin. The most efficient and lowest side effects are Pico lasers.

Answer: Skin tightening You may be a candidate for BodyTite. This minimally invasive procedure uses RF technology to tighten skin. No general anesthesia is required. Results can be enhanced by adding Morpheus8 treatments. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Answer: The Morpheus8 device can be used on the body with good effect This is a multiple micro needle device with radiofrequency to treat the skin at multiple levels under the surface. Downtime is minimal. This sounds like the best option for you
