When excess and sagging skin become a problem, HIFU skin tightening might be the right treatment. Dr. Muniandi Velayuthan and his team can educate patients on the advantages of using this service versus traditional excess skin removal with plastic surgery. Below are some frequently asked questions about HIFU skin tightening treatment available at Dermed Clinic of Johor Bahru.
What causes skin to become loose and saggy as we age?
Before undergoing treatment for skin laxity, the team at Dermed Clinic educates patients on the root cause of loose skin on the face and body. As part of the natural ageing process, our skin gradually loses elasticity, and collagen production decreases. This results in skin thinning, sagging, and wrinkling. Environmental factors, including sun exposure, smoking cigarettes, and poor diet, also contribute to premature ageing. On the body, skin laxity may also be the result of extensive weight loss, where stretched skin does not bounce back as it once would.
Is HIFU skin tightening treatment considered safe?
HIFU skin tightening treatment is a safe and non-invasive option for improving skin laxity. It uses ultrasound energy delivered by a device to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin without causing any potential damage to surrounding tissue. However, as with any medical procedure, there might be some minor side effects, including redness, swelling or tenderness at the treatment site, which typically resolve within a few days.
What areas can be treated with HIFU skin tightening?
We might recommend HIFU skin tightening for:
- Face and neck. It improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, and jowls on the face and neck. It can also help lift drooping eyelids.
- Décolletage. This treatment tightens the skin on the chest and décolletage area, reducing signs of ageing such as crepiness or sun damage.
- Arms. HIFU is often used to tighten loose skin on the upper arms, commonly known as “bingo wings.”
