The skin loses collagen and elastin as you age, leading to skin conditions like sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. While this is a normal part of aging, advancements in aesthetic medicine provide effective skin tightening solutions to restore tightness and achieve a youthful appearance.
At Cerulean Medical Institute in Kelowna, BC, we provide several non-surgical treatment options that stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. Learn more about Radiesse, RF skin tightening and microneedling for tightening skin.
Understanding Skin Laxity and the Role of Collagen
Collagen and elastin are the most abundant proteins in the skin, helping it to maintain firmness, tightness and structure. As you age, your body’s collagen and elastin production slow, causing the skin to lose its structure and elasticity. External factors such as UV exposure, pollution, smoking, and poor nutrition can accelerate this process. Treatments that boost collagen synthesis and stimulate skin cell renewal are the most effective for reversing skin laxity and promoting tightening.
Our Treatments for Skin Tightening
At Cerulean Medical Institute in Kelowna BC, we offer a range of advanced non-surgical treatments designed to restore skin firmness and elasticity. Whether you prefer an injectable approach or non-invasive thermal energy our procedures are customized to meet your needs. Best results ae achieved with a combination treatment approach of injectable collagen boosting with energy-based technology.
Radiesse
Radiesse in Kelowna is a biostimulatory collagen boosting dermal filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite or CaHA microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which primarily add volume, Radiesse stimulates the body’s natural collagen production.
When injected, it provides immediate volume correction and promotes long-term skin strengthening. Over time, the CaHA microspheres integrate into the skin, triggering it to produce new collagen. Commonly used for facial contouring, jawline definition, and hand rejuvenation, it can also improve skin laxity in the neck, décolletage, and body. Results can last up to 18 months.
Radiofrequency (RF) Skin Tightening
RF skin tightening in Kelowna is a non-invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to heat deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening tissues. Unlike lasers, RF energy is not dependent on skin type or pigmentation, making it a versatile treatment for various skin tones. The device emits controlled heat deep into the dermis, triggering new collagen and elastin production. This heat-induced treatment results in immediate micro skin tightening, with continued improvement over several months. This nonsurgical skin tightening treatment is commonly used on the face, neck, abdomen, arms, thighs and buttocks and is often combined with microneedling for enhanced results.
Microneedling
Microneedling in Kelowa, or collagen induction therapy, involves using fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. These injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production. This results in firmer, smoother, and tighter skin over time. Microneedling is effective for fine lines, acne scars, and stretch marks.
When combined with RF energy, microneedling can enhance collagen production at deeper skin layers, leading to additional skin contraction and tissue remodeling. This combination is ideal to tighten loose skin on the face, neck, and body while improving overall skin texture and elasticity.
