Loose/Baggy Skin
What causes loose or baggy skin?
There’s nothing you can do to stop ageing, but there is a lot we can do to help to prevent the visible signs of ageing. How our skin looks affects how old we feel and how old we look to others. Your skin is hugely influenced by your body’s general wellbeing and if your body is not healthy it is often reflected by your skin.
Firm and youthful looking skin can be difficult to achieve but you will be surprised at how regular moisturising / hydration of the skin will help. Exercise is very important to maintaining firm skin because without it, your skin can look dull and your muscles can start to deflate causing your skin to hang. Eating a healthy balanced diet and drinking plenty of water will also help to keep you looking and feeling young.
How fast and how much your skin ages is determined by, in part, genetics. Far more important factors are smoking, pollution, sun tanning stress and lack of sleep and poor nutrition.
So is there anything you can do to lessen the effects of aging on your skin? Yes, you have lots of options and the first thing you need to do is to talk to the expert therapist at totalcare.
The experts recommend:
M3 #aestheticsreborn Face and Body Machine
Our M3 device has a range of face and body treatments designed to treat a wide variety of conditions. For body fat, why not try no-needle mesotherapy, ultrasounds, or ultrasonic liposuction?
No-Needle Mesotherapy is 21st century beauty. With four phases of current, it pushes up to 97% of a specific ampoule into the deep dermis. This stimulates your circulation and cellular regeneration which will give your skin a firmer and glowing look. A non-invasive alternative to needling with ZERO downtime, blood, needles, or pain.
Ultrasounds stimulates slack facial muscles and baggy skin to become firmer. We use Action de Gala ionised cosmetics to treat any conditions specific to you. An excellent and effective treatment.
Radiofrequency is also used for skin tightening, it’s a body contouring technology that uses RF wavelengths to tighten loose stretched skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Ultrasonic Liposuction is a combination of 2 treatments that together give you all the gain and none of the pain, helping you slim, tone and target the specific problem areas of your body. Not only is it for weight loss and cellulite treatment, but it is a personalised and stress free therapy. Firstly ultrasound metabolises fats and reduces cellulite. Then direct infra-red heat melts the broken-down fat and enlarges the capillaries to make it easier for the toxins to leave; while it improves your overall bodily function and the healthy appearance of your skin. The infra-red heat also relaxes any stress in the muscles and encourages cellular regeneration. We then combine it with the Dermomassager to bring the melted fat to the lymph nodes. Also works excellently with LinfoPress.
