Varied Methods For Skin Tightening

By Lelia Hall


As we age, have children, gain and lose weight, it begins to show on the outside. Loss of firmness and plumpness due to a loss of healthy fat can cause a sagging at the jaw line. There are many methods available, some surgical and some not, so that even those in Cincinnati, OH have options for skin tightening.

Unfortunately, the Internet is loaded with surgical solutions that seem so easy. Plastic surgeons will swear that a nip and tuck is the only true way to accomplish this kind of firming, and all other options are placebo. Residents of this fair city remember the claims made by these same surgeons in the 80s regarding silicone implants, and they are not fooled.

Many surgeons earned their bad reputations when refusing to listen to women who claimed to be terribly ill, and they believed it was due to their silicone implants leaking. Many of these women died as a result of their malady, and it was many long years before the medical industry accepted that their complaints had merit. As such, plastic surgery is always a last resort, and one should seek due diligence in finding the surgeon to perform their procedure.

Dermabrasion, or microdermabrasion, has become a popular method for ridding the face of fine lines. The kit involves a roller with tiny needles which are rolled across the face. This abrasion of the face causes the body to release elastin which helps tissues shrink back to their original form, and collagen which helps to plump up the epidermis and erase crows feet and fine lines.

These two proteins are primary players when it comes to revealing a healthy and youthful complexion. By forcing the release of collagen and elastin, one can maintain this look for a long time to come, without surgery. Most people find they only need to use their roller about once a week for best results.

Utilizing the proper moisturizer is very important with dermabrasion, as it opens the epidermis to better absorption. Shea butter is recommended due to the way it absorbs easily and is not greasy. Taking the liquid from Vitamin E and spreading it on the desired areas is another recommended method of moisturizing and protecting the face and body.

Peels are often used for bringing out the healthy lower layers, and getting rid of lines and sagging. This can be an excellent method, but one must be cautious. This technique is known for leaving brown spots behind which are known to take quite a long time to heal, and these areas must be kept out of the sun.

No method of rejuvenation is complete without the added benefit of a healthy, or at least balanced lifestyle. Exercise and diet alone can go a long way towards keeping the face and body firm and fit. By ridding the body of cellulite, at the same time one treats the outer layer for lines, sagging, or stretch marks; a total makeover can be experienced without the use of a scalpel.
