Even a simple surgical procedure can have complications. Luckily, you don’t need a plastic surgeon to reduce wrinkles or achieve tighter skin and smoother body contours. The Center for Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery in Washington, DC, offers non-invasive
skin tightening procedures to improve your skin’s look and feel without going under the knife.
Wrinkles, cellulite and sagging skin are all normal parts of aging. As you get older, your skin becomes thinner and loses its elasticity. Fat is more likely to protrude through the weakening connective tissue, which results in cellulite. While these are all perfectly normal, it can harm your body image. Non-invasive therapies can treat these issues and restore confidence in yourself, which can significantly impact your overall wellbeing.
Radiofrequency energy therapy
Dr. Burgess offers several forms of radiofrequency energy therapy that can target wrinkles, cellulite and sagging skin throughout the body. While some patients may see improvement after a single visit, others may need to schedule three visits within the first month. The results are long-lasting and touch up treatments can be scheduled at your convenience to maintain the results.
- Pellevé can improve the appearance of wrinkles. The device uses radiofrequency energy to heat target tissues to stimulate the production of collagen. This will lift your skin and tighten treatment areas as your collagen remodels.
- Pellefirm is a newer technology designed to use radiofrequency energy to contour areas such as the buttocks and thighs. It can reduce skin dimpling and tighten sagging skin by breaking down the area’s fat and connective tissues.
- Ultherapy is an ultrasound energy device that can attain the same results in larger areas. If you have loose, sagging skin around your arms, neck or chest, Ultherapy is the only FDA approved treatment short of surgery that can help.
Rejuvenate your skin
