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 decrease in skin firmness and elasticity. Genetics, environmental factors like sun exposure and smoking, and even rapid weight changes can also contribute to sagging skin.
Fortunately, the Dr. Jodie clinic offers a variety of treatments designed to tighten and firm your skin. These treatments primarily stimulate 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 results, it is essential to maintain an appropriate skincare routine, including the use of 50+ SPF sunscreen, practice sun avoidance, and lead 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, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin. The result is firmer, tighter skin with enhanced elasticity and a more youthful appearance. Additionally, the Scarlet S Radio Frequency Microneedling device also helps improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars and enlarged pores, as well as other textural imperfections.
Interestingly, the Scarlet S Radio Frequency Microneedling device requires minimal recovery time. Most clients experience mild facial redness for 1-2 days, with some barely visible, temporary ‘grid marks’ that resolve within 1-2 weeks. Compared to devices like Morpheus 8 and Secret RF, Scarlet S treatments generally involve less pain and downtime. This is due to its patented technology with gold-plated, tapered, non-insulated microneedles that heat the entire skin layer in a single pass. Other technologies rely upon multiple passes, increasing bruising, swelling and recovery, without any increase in efficacy or outcome.
