Can You Get Skin Tightening Without Surgery?

If you are interested in achieving tighter skin but don’t want to deal with incisions, scarring, and other inconveniences, you should think about getting a skin tightening treatment from Glow Medispa in Seattle, Washington. We can use a non-invasive method called Exilis Ultra to lift and tighten the skin on your face, neck, and other parts of your body.

Can You Get Skin Tightening Without Surgery?

When you started researching ways to firm your sagging skin, you probably read about invasive techniques like brow lifts, facelifts, and eyelid procedures. If you have a demanding job and a busy social life, you might not be able to adjust your schedule and spend weeks recovering from these invasive tightening methods. In addition, you might be worried about getting general anesthesia or dealing with scars or infections.

A Non-Invasive Option

Fortunately, there’s no need to use these invasive techniques to firm your skin. Instead, you can use our specialized Exilis Ultra treatment to tighten your skin in a completely non-invasive way. This treatment uses a unique combination of ultrasound and radiofrequency energy to achieve this cosmetic goal.

Firming Your Skin

During this treatment, we will use an advanced device to carefully transmit radiofrequency and ultrasound energy into your dermal tissues. As the deeper layers of your skin absorb this energy, your tissues will gradually heat up. This heat will destroy some of the fat cells in your target area, and give you a slimmer appearance.

In addition, this heat will contract the collagen fibers in your skin and improve your body’s ability to form new collagen. Collagen is a type of protein that makes your skin strong and tight. Increasing the quality and quantity of your collagen fibers will cause your skin to become smoother and firmer.

Will I Have a Long Recovery Period After I Get This Tightening Treatment?

If you receive an invasive tightening procedure, you will need to spend a long time recovering from your incisions and anesthesia. In contrast, our Exilis Ultra treatment uses gentle, non-invasive energy to destroy unwanted fat cells and lift your skin. Since this energy can move through the surface of your skin without incisions, you don’t need to schedule any downtime after you get your tightening treatments.

How Many Tightening Treatments Will I Receive?

We will discuss your tightening plan when you have your first meeting at our office in Seattle. Typically, you will notice dramatic improvements in your skin’s texture and firmness after you get three tightening sessions. We will wait seven to 10 days between each of your skin tightening appointments.

The length of your Exilis Ultra sessions will depend on the size and condition of your target area. As you might expect, your treatment will take more time to complete if you are treating larger areas of skin. In general, we will likely need four to 30 minutes to improve each area on your skin.

What Will This Firming Treatment Feel Like?

Some minimally-invasive skin tightening methods use aggressive, harsh techniques to firm your skin. These treatments can be very uncomfortable, and you might have to use local anesthesia during your appointments.

Fortunately, receiving an Exilis Ultra treatment will be a very easy and comfortable process. In fact, this treatment feels very similar to a hot stone massage. Since this technique is so gentle, you won’t need to use lidocaine or other types of local anesthesia during your firming sessions.

Can I Combine This Technique With Other Non-Invasive Treatments?

If you would like to remove a large amount of fat during your treatments, you could combine Exilis Ultra with Vanquish ME treatments. Vanquish ME is a non-invasive body contouring technique that also uses radiofrequency energy to enhance your appearance. This treatment can be used on your flanks, stomach, thighs, and other places.

When you receive a Vanquish ME treatment, we will send radiofrequency waves into your unwanted fat cells. Unlike other body contouring treatments, this technique does not use uncomfortable pulses or suctioning energy to change your body. Instead, you can lie back and relax while we gently melt away some of your fat cells. After about four to six weeks, the circumference of your target area will be reduced and your body will look firmer and slimmer.

How Long Does This Tightening Treatment Take to Achieve Results?

If you use this technique to improve your sagging skin, you will notice improvements in your appearance within a short period of time. In general, your skin will begin to look tighter and firmer after you get your first treatment. As you receive more Exilis Ultra treatments, these changes will become more visible. You will probably see the final results of your tightening treatment after several months.

Achieve Beautiful Skin

If you have loose, sagging skin, you don’t have to receive an invasive procedure that requires general anesthesia and incisions. Instead of dealing with these inconveniences, you can quickly correct this issue by receiving Exilis Ultra treatments.
