5 Tips and Tricks that Lifts and Tightens Sagging Skin Instantly

An unfortunate effect of age is that our skin begins to sag. Skin can sag on our faces and our arms among other spots on our bodies. Thankfully, there are some procedures which can be performed to lift saggy skin. Some examples include the facelift and the eyelid surgery. While they are effective, these solutions are invasive and expensive. There are other methods to lift your skin that do not require a scalpel and are more affordable.

Here are 5 tips and tricks to lift and tighten sagging skin:

Creams and lotions

There are many types of creams and lotions which can be used to tighten sagging skin. They are advertised to deliver quick, long lasting results. Many of them are versatile. This means that they are also moisturizers. Skin lifting creams and lotions can contain a special ingredient which is known as retinol. It makes the skin produce more collagen which in turn lifts up the skin. Essentially, lotions and creams produce a very subtle effect in terms of skin lifting. This is because they do not penetrate deep enough into the skin to provide long lasting effects.

Ultrasound

This is another non-invasive skin lifting method. Today, dermatologists are using ultrasound to deliver heat very deep into the skin. This heat causes your body to produce more collagen. After 1 ultrasound treatment, most people experience a fair amount of skin lifting once 2 to 6 months have elapsed. Additional treatments will give you better results.

Radiofrequency treatment

In this type of treatment, the dermatologist places an electronic device against your skin. It heats the tissue under your skin. This catalyzes the production of more collagen in your body. Eventually, this special protein lifts up sagging skin. With radiofrequency treatment, the best results are observed in 6 months. By performing the correct skin care, the positive results can last for between 2 to 3 years.

Laser beams

There are lasers which can deliver heat into the soft tissues of your skin without harming its top layer. Lasers are effective for delivering an instant face lift. They are especially beneficial for tightening any loose skin on your arms or your belly. Generally, 2 to 3 laser beam treatments are necessary for you to experience long lasting results. These are visible between 2 to 6 months after the procedure is performed.
