Banish excess, loose skin at the neck without surgery At drs skincare Hamilton, ON

As we age, the loss of structural components in the skin can cause tissues to slide downward. When this happens, patients may suddenly be confronted by very obvious-looking laxity and loose skin at the neck and lower portion of the face. Additionally, environmental factors such as sun exposure can degrade elastin and collagen – the proteins responsible for the elasticity and firmness of our skin.

drs skincare has patients across the age spectrum who visit our office in Hamilton, Ontario, seeking solutions to poorly defined jawlines and facial contours. In fact, skin tightening is one of our most popular treatments, and for good reason.

What is skin tightening?

Skin tightening is not any one type of treatment. It is a category of aesthetic and non-surgical treatments. Various procedures and devices may be used to tighten the skin and recontour the face or body. The specific treatment package that is most appropriate for you depends on factors such as the location of the excess or loose skin, as well as the severity of the laxity that is present.

Although we can often provide non-surgical strategies to reduce laxity and tighten skin, we will explain this to you in consultation in cases where we believe surgery should be a consideration.
