Aging happens to all of us, and in many cases, we see that as a “level up.” With age comes experience and a mindset that we did not have one or two decades ago. That said, wisdom is not the only thing that comes with age. Sagging skin and wrinkles are sure to follow.
We lose about one percent of our ability to produce collagen per year starting with our early 20s. This means that by the time you hit 50, you’ll be down around 30 percent of the natural collagen production rate. To improve said production, we will go over a series of treatments that complement one another to achieve an enhanced aesthetic.
Why Combine Face and Body Treatments?
Achieving tight and firm skin often requires you to come to Park Avenue Medical Spa for more than one procedure. Every treatment can stimulate the collagen at a different level and in different manners, and when combined, these treatments can trigger a deeper effect. This ability to target multiple layers can be quite effective in receiving both the instant and the progressive effects.
Plus, different skin tightening treatments are more appropriate for specific areas of the body. Some are gentler and better for the sensitive area of the face. Others are recommended for areas with thicker skin, making them a better choice for the body. By combining them, you can receive a harmonious aesthetic that looks natural.
Top Combinations to Try Out
When it comes to skin-tightening combos, there are multiple options that offer a synergic effect. The most popular combinations at Park Avenue Medical Spa include the following:
1. Sculptra® Aesthetic and Venus Legacy™
Volume loss is one of the greatest culprits for making your skin look saggy. However, a filler and radiofrequency combination can help restore skin quality. Sculptra® Aesthetic uses poly-L-lactic acid to trigger collagen and elastin production in the long term, with results lasting for up to two years. You can use it on different areas of the face, with most patients addressing sunken temples and sagging cheeks.
The treatment is often combined with Venus Legacy™, which tightens the skin on the body and reduces the aspect of wrinkles. By delivering magnetic pulses and radiofrequency into the skin, it creates microscopic injuries at different skin layers, triggering a new production of collagen and elastin in the treatment area.
2. Morpheus8™ and Exosome Therapy
Microneedling has been an effective way to trigger collagen production, as the tiny needles create small injuries in the skin. These “channels” are not enough to leave any scars, but with treatments like Morpheus8™, they are enough to tell your body that something needs to be healed. Your healing response begins sending more collagen to the area, thus tightening the skin.
To improve the skin tightening effect, the treatment is often combined with exosome therapy, which promotes cell regeneration and regulates collagen production. The growth factors should have an easier time entering the skin after the microchannels are created, reaching the deeper levels of your dermis.
3. PDO Thread Lift and Sofwave™
Those requiring an instant lift along with the skin-tightening effect can call on a PDO thread lift. This procedure involves the use of dissolvable sutures that are pulled into position under the skin, offering an immediate lifting effect. Over time, the threads stimulate collagen and elastin, tightening the skin and keeping sagging at a minimum.
Thread lifts are often combined with Sofwave™ treatments, which penetrate the skin using ultrasound energy. It can be used on both the face and the body, enhancing the skin-tightening effect and offering continuous benefits over the next few months. As a bonus, it can provide short-term improvement in the appearance of cellulite.
