Best Face Tightening & Rejuvenation in Alpharetta, GA

Aging! It’s not a happy word. It’s better than the alternative for sure. But why does aging have to mean we look well, OLD? Hint….it doesn’t!

As we age, collagen and elasticity in the skin begins to decrease, all across our bodies, not just the face. As skin gets looser, you may notice fine lines, crepiness and even deeper wrinkles begin to appear. The other most notable change that we hear all the time is things just seem to be sagging or melting downward.

Loose skin allows the natural positioned fat pads in the face begin to bulge and migrate downward. This results in jowling at the jaw line, deep folds between the side of the nose and the corners of your mouth and even from the corners of the mouth to the chin. Eyelids get droopy and cheeks seem less full and rounded. These changes are all part of the natural cycle of aging and left alone, we’ll all see them…eventually.

Eventually doesn’t have to mean today or even soon if you do the right things to take care of your skin and push collagen production again. Today is a GREAT time to be aging because there are so many non-invasive and minimally invasive options to choose from in procedures that will tighten the skin. Ten to twenty years ago, you waited until things got really bad and then had a face lift or other skin reduction surgical procedure. Not anymore!

Enter The Age of ANTI-AGING!

What does anti-aging mean? It means doing things to slow and prevent the signs of aging like skin laxity, droopy, sagging, falling skin, wrinkles and even texture and pigmentation.

Every person is different and depending on the age you are starting your routine, you’ll be looking at different options. Some people genetically age well, while others see very early signs and even significant skin laxity in their 40’s. Most men and women start to see dramatic aging in their 50’s. By then, the depletion has been going on for decades and you are seeing all the signs that you probably don’t like in the mirror.

When to Start Anti-Aging Procedures and Treatment

So when do you start anti-aging procedures and treatments? BEFORE YOU START SEEING IT! If “I knew in my 20’s what I know today, I would have taken better care of myself (and my skin)” is something we hear often from men and women that want to correct the aging they are seeing. So, for those of you still in your 20’s START NOW!!

Want Some Advice?

Stay out of the sun.
Use a GREAT sunscreen ALL THE TIME.
Use a great skin care line that rejuvenates your skin and keeps it hydrated.

This is for everyone.

It’s the beginning but the best advice anyone can give you to slow the aging processes of your skin.

Next Steps

BOTOX NeuroToxins

Think wrinkle reduction but also wrinkle prevention as the muscles that move the skin are stunned temporarily. Over time those muscles will atrophy (get smaller) or if started early will prevent them from getting bigger from “working out” by facial expressions.

Collagen Boosting Procedures

MicroNeedling

Microneedling is the BEST procedure for maintaining youthful skin. Tiny needles are used on a pen to create micro-channels to deliver high quality skin care products to the layers that produce collagen. These micro-channels also get your skin to heal itself boosting new collagen formation. This is somewhat corrective improving tightness, firmness and even fine lines and texture. It’s the best procedure for maintenance. Even if you’ve had a surgical facelift or other minimally invasive skin tightening procedure, Microneedling is your go to for maintaining those results longer.

Laser Procedures and IPL (Intense Pulse Light)

Laser procedures and IPL (intense pulse light) for tightening, texture and lightening areas of discoloration from pigment (sun damage). Clear skin without rough texture or dark pigment spots always gives a more youthful appearance. IPL will reduce dark spots deep in the skin and even improve skin texture and tightness.

RF Skin Tightening with FORMA

RF Skin Tightening with FORMA a completely non-invasive procedure that feels like a hot wand facial. The RF wand is massaged across your skin emitting the RF energy into the deep layers. This RF energy contracts and builds collagen all without any down time or discomfort. It can be used on any area of the face, neck or body where crepiness is starting to show (or even before) to tighten skin and develop new collagen for a lasting result.

What about correcting laxity and droopiness after it’s already there?

Now we get into bigger procedures that can be used for maintaining your youthful appearance or getting it back again if you are already seeing those signs of aging like laxity, volume loss, droopiness, crepiness, fine lines and even deeper wrinkles.

Ultherapy

Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure with no downtime, no visible marks on the skin, no needles, just ultrasound energy that is focused at the deep collagen layers to create micro-thermal injury points which contract and cause new collagen to form. This procedure lifts and tightens the skin and is great for someone that just can’t afford any time where their skin is injured and showing that they had a procedure performed. We use this a lot in men and women with careers where they are in front of people every day and don’t want anyone to know they’ve had a procedure done.

Rf Microneedling with Morpheus 8

RF Microneedling with Morpheus 8 is the true powerhouse of collagen building procedures that are minimally invasive. Tiny needles are stamped into the skin and the RF energy (radiofrequency) is delivered to the tip of the needles creating tiny vaporized areas of skin injury. These stamps are performed at multiple depths throughout the skin resulting in skin tightening, contraction, lifting and even refinement of unwanted fat pockets like jowling and the double chin. There is about 3 days of healing time where you just don’t look your best so this isn’t for everyone. But most people can find a few days to step back from their busy life. It’s not a surgery or major laser procedure that requires weeks of time to recover. This is a few days of tiny pin holes and slight redness. The procedure requires a series of at least 3 treatments to see results. Those are done every 4 to 8 weeks for maximum results.

Laser Resurfacing

Laser Resurfacing is a big procedure with a lot of recovery and downtime (like weeks!). It’s great for surface layer skin issues because the laser literally burns down through the skin layers and then all new skin grows up revealing more youthful tighter skin. This procedure is for people that can really afford to take weeks away from their normal life as they recover.

Surgical Procedures

Of course, surgical skin tightening procedures including face lifts, neck lifts, eye skin reduction and even skin reduction on the body. Nothing matches a surgical result and for some people surgery is really the only option due to the amount of laxity present. However, surgery isn’t for everyone and some people are just not even candidates for surgery. So, the minimally invasive options can provide good results even when things have gone too far!

We’ve treated people with RF Needling Morpheus 8 into their 80’s with good results. We never expect to see a 20 year old again appear in the mirror, but improvements can still be significant for many people that are beyond the age of a facelift.
