How does Skin Tightening Work?
There are three basic factors which contribute to a great skin look: Collagen, Elastin, and Hyaluronic Acid.
Collagen is a protein which promotes strength to your skin, helping it to appear more youthful and healthier. About 80% of the dermis – the part of your skin that’s under the outer layer — is collagen. As you get older and collagen production declines, you develop fine lines, loose skin, and dryness.
Elastin, as its name implies, enables your skin to stretch and bounce back; it is elastic.
Hyaluronic acid alleviates dry skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and speeding up wound healing.
When one or more of these elements is not in enough supply there are a variety of issues you might notice in your mirror:

Profound If there is any treatment out there which recreates ALL THREE essential elements of healthy skin (collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid), it’s Profound. Profound tightens the skin but also creates more volume and elastic tissue especially in the area around the jowls and the wrinkles around the mouth. Studies have shown that the Profound procedure produces one-third the effect of a surgical face-lift. It is extremely effective at treating sagging skin, especially (but not limited to) under the arms. Also, currently, it is one of the only two FDA approved treatments for cellulite.
Facial Fillers As the skin matures in the face, it loses volume and starts to sag. Fillers, such as Juvéderm and Restylane, are substances injected into the superficial layers of the skin. They fill the skin, adding volume and plumping sagging skin.
Botox Injections How to get rid of crow’s feet? Botox is the famous injectable medication that relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles. This is a perfect treatment to get rid of all wrinkles above the cheeks.
