Firm skin is one of those qualities you don’t normally think about until you don’t have it anymore. Whether your skin has given way to the effects of aging or it’s lost some of its firmness due to the stretching and release of pregnancy or weight fluctuation, seeing sagging skin on your face or body can put a damper on your self-confidence.

Considering how common it is to want firmer skin, it’s no surprise that there are a lot of theories, old wives’ tales, and myths about skin tightening. Our team at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center helps patients achieve firmer skin on a daily basis, so to help you get the real facts, we’re taking a look at four common myths about skin tightening.

Myth: Surgery Is the Only Way to Tighten Skin

Plastic surgeries that tighten the skin are quite common – facelifts, neck lifts, arm lifts, tummy tucks, and so on. While these procedures are highly effective when you’re relying on the skilled hand of a board-certified plastic surgeon, they’re not the only option.

Our Viora Reaction™ skin tightening treatment offers targeted skin firming by using pressure and warmth to stimulate new collagen in your skin. This collagen tightens and tones the skin, whether you are treating your face, neck, buttocks, abdomen, thighs, or other areas. Treatments like microneedling and fractionated laser skin resurfacing produce mild skin firming as well by boosting your collagen growth.

Myth: Exercise Can Tighten Your Skin

You’ve likely seen those YouTube videos demonstrating “facial exercises” that are intended to tighten the skin. Unfortunately, because your skin’s laxity is not related to muscles, there are no exercises for the face or body that will tighten your skin. If you build muscle in your body, you may add enough volume to “fill in” some of your loosened skin, but this is as close as exercise can get to tightening the skin. The only effective ways to firm your skin are professional skin tightening treatments and cosmetic surgeries.

Myth: Only People with Limited Skin Types Can Get Skin Tightening Treatments

There is a kernel of truth behind this myth. Laser treatments like fractionated laser skin resurfacing do produce some skin tightening and laser treatments aren’t always suitable for every skin type.

However, our primary skin tightening procedure, Viora Reaction™, uses radiofrequency energy and not lasers to produce the deep warmth that stimulates your collagen production. As a result, Viora Reaction™ skin tightening is safe and effective for all skin types.

Myth: Body-Firming Creams Can Effectively Tighten Skin

If you go through any skincare aisle in a drug store, you’ll see creams that claim to tighten your skin and reduce cellulite. Unfortunately, these aren’t the at-home miracles that you might expect.

At best, these creams produce temporary skin smoothing. They may do this by moisturizing your skin or by using caffeine to dehydrate the fat cells in your cellulite, making the cellulite look temporarily smoother. However, these are day-by-day results only. The only way to truly firm your skin, rather than making your skin seem firmer, is to stimulate new collagen production, and topical creams don’t penetrate your skin in a way that makes this possible.

Getting Reliably Firmer Skin

Skin tightening is an extremely common goal for people of nearly all ages, but because it’s in high demand, there is an abundance of false hacks and snake oil potions that have popped up. The truth is that only knowledgeable cosmetic healthcare providers like aestheticians and plastic surgeons can offer treatments that effectively tighten the skin.

Gone are the seasons of spring and summer spent in long skirts and pants. At Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center, we prioritize our patients looking and feeling their best, spurring us to keep up with the latest technology to address common concerns. Two exceptionally common concerns seen in our industry are loose, sagging skin and stubborn cellulite. To tackle these cosmetic grievances, we offer our patients Viora Reaction™, a non-invasive technology for skin tightening and cellulite reduction.

atlanta laser hair removal So, how does Viora Reaction™ work? The innovative technology functions by using three simultaneous radio frequency modes to effectively treat and tighten lax skin, particularly in areas such as the neck and face. Viora promotes collagen and elastin fiber production and evens imbalanced skin tone, wrinkles and fine lines. While most patients can have noticeable results after one treatment, multiple treatments are typically recommended to optimize results.

In addition to functioning as an anti-aging treatment, Viora can also lessen the appearance of cellulite. Contrary to popular belief, cellulite is not a direct correlation with excess fat. Rather, cellulite appears due to deviations in skin thickness and fat deposit concentration. Just under the skin’s surface, connective collagen fibers are pushed and pulled by even the smallest amounts of fat, creating an uneven, dimpled skin surface texture. Using the same power of radio-frequency used in treating lax skin and controlled suction, application of the Reaction™ hand piece aids in increasing circulation and decreasing the appearance of cellulite in the treatment area(s). Because this minimally-invasive procedure does not physically modify the substructure of the dermis like more traditional body sculpting procedures, follow up sessions (typically six to eight) are recommended to produce maximum cellulite reduction results.

Our FDA-approved medical grade lasers can safely treat almost any area of the body; popular areas for hair removal include the legs, underarms, arms, face, chest and bikini.
