Why Does Skin Become Loose?
Loose skin generally develops due to the natural ageing process, during which the body produces less collagen and elastin, leading to a gradual decrease in skin firmness and elasticity. Genetics, environmental factors such as sun exposure and smoking, and rapid weight changes can also play a role in sagging skin.
The Dr. Jodie clinic offers a variety of treatments designed to support skin tightening and firming. These treatments primarily work by stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. Treatment options include the Scarlet S Radio Frequency Microneedling device, Laser Genesis and IPL skin rejuvenation.
To help prevent sagging skin and optimise treatment outcomes, it is important to maintain an appropriate skincare routine, including the use of 50+ SPF sunscreen, regular sun avoidance and a healthy lifestyle.
How Does Dr. Jodie’s Scarlet S Radio Frequency
Microneedling Device Near Burwood Help Tighten Skin?
The Scarlet S Radio Frequency Microneedling device represents the forefront of minimally invasive skin tightening techniques. By combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy, this advanced technology activates the body’s natural healing processes and encourages the production of collagen and elastin. This can support firmer, tighter skin with enhanced elasticity and a fresher appearance. The Scarlet S Radio Frequency Microneedling device may also help improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores and other textural concerns.
The Scarlet S Radio Frequency Microneedling device generally requires minimal recovery time. Most clients experience mild facial redness for 1 to 2 days, and some notice faint, temporary grid marks that resolve within 1 to 2 weeks. The device uses gold-plated, tapered, non-insulated microneedles designed to heat the full thickness of the skin in a single pass. Even so, all devices carry risks, and these will be carefully discussed with you at your Dr. Jodie appointment before proceeding with treatment.
