What Is Skin Tightening? 

Sagging skin is one of the most notable signs of aging. Natural thinning of the skin due to collagen and elastin breakdown, combined with the loss of underlying structures leads to the skin following the path of least resistance and gravitational effect, migrating to downwards. DNA damage from lifestyle factors such as drinking, smoking, chronic sun exposure, and stress can all expedite these unsightly changes.

With today’s technology and advanced science-based clinical trials, we have many tools to both prevent and correct these factors at the cellular level. Laser heat devices encourage cells to continue to work for you and produce new collagen, actually thickening and lifting the tissue. You may not even know that dermal fillers actually encourage the production of new healthy collagen in the region they are placed, leaving a correction for years past the life of the product.

This new way of aging; preventing collagen breakdown, repairing at the cellular level and stimulation the synthesis of healthy tissue necessary to look young, is the way of the future. When more correction or repair is required, multi-modality solutions will be required to correct skin laxity. Fortunately, almost all of our treatment options offer minimal to no downtime. When injectables are required to assist in the skin lifting process, Dr. Maltais offers a microcannula in place of a needle for injecting which minimizes the chance of bruising.

Allow us to construct a personalized protocol to lift, tighten, contour, define and correct the areas that bother you most.

All treatment options are available for the body as well.
