WHY DOES THE SKIN LOSE IT'S "BOUNCE"?
Most of us have now heard about collagen. This substance lies within and immediately underneath our outer protection, the skin itself. The appearance of a young and healthy skin depends upon the creation and maintenance of naturally produced new collagen.
As we grow older, our collagen can become stiffer and more fibrous. In addition, if we lose significant weight, for example, by dieting or exercising, our existing collagen may no longer enjoy its former, magical properties to restore our skin to its original condition. In short, our skin may look to be tired, flabby or “wrinkly.
The old expression, to be happy in your own skin, is a telling one. We all would wish to present our best front to the outside world. Sometimes it is difficult to do so when “your own skin” does not make you happy or pulls you back from realising your objectives with the confidence you should otherwise enjoy. Here at Essex Laser Lipo we can provide you with both skin tightening treatments and cellulite reduction treatments.
SKIN TIGHTENING - HOW DOES IT WORK?
Well, specialist and new-generation technology is the basic answer, but the science works as follows.
The Advanced Body Tight system operates state of the art technology, which incorporates wholly safe Radio Frequency (“RF”) waves, to target old or stressed collagen. Our consultants are professionally trained to apply RF to the targeted treatment areas. The effects of the RF are twofold: first, to promote the breakdown and natural bodily discharge of the old collagen; second, and more important, to promote the safe and natural creation of new collagen.
RF is now internationally accepted as being the new generation of safe and effective cosmetic treatment of skin issues across the board, provided, of course, that the equipment utilized by clinics is in the forefront of aesthetic treatments and not past its sell-by date!
Our technology and equipment lead the field.
What, actually, happens is that our state of the art RF system heats the skin and the skin’s underlying tissue to a depth of about 8mm, entirely painlessly. Those underlying tissues contain the all-important collagen. The effect of the RF process is threefold:-
a) to shrink old and tired collagen, which results in an immediate tightening effect on your skin
b) to allow the old and tired collagen to be broken down, absorbed and then released by the body naturally and without any harmful consequences
c) to stimulate the creation of new, healthy and refreshed collagen.
The Advanced Body Tight system is specifically designed to rejuvenate both the skin and, more particularly, the underlying collagen tissues within a programme of between 3 to 6 months for a long-lasting effect. Whilst the immediate results of our system will be obvious, its proper and longer-term benefit will naturally depend upon our clients undertaking the full course of the recommended treatment programme.
At Essex Laser Lipo Aesthetic Clinic, we are concerned to ensure that our clients not only fully understand but are totally comfortable with the treatment programme devised by Advanced Body Tight system. Our professional consultant will be pleased to answer any additional questions that you may have in relation to the Science and how that science may apply to you, individually, at a preliminary and free consultation.
