Question 1

what is involved in  laser skin tightening?

Accepted Answer

Heating collagen: True noninvasive skin tightening involved using an energy device to heat the dermis near 43 degrees c.  This causes collagen denaturation and contraction.  My favorite device uses infrared light but more important then the device is the doctor administering it.

Question 2

has anyone ever had laser skin tightening done?

Accepted Answer

Laser Skin Tighten: We successfully perform laser skin tightening procedures at my practice. The procedure is quite successful in properly selected patients. I am happy to answer specific questions you have about the procedure.

Question 3

has anyone ever had laser skin tightening done after 60?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Resurfacing or fractionated laser can help remove wrinkles around mouth, lower lods and cheeks. It will not have much effect on sagging skin. If skin tone is reasonable devices such as ultherapy, exilis, and skin tyte will have effect on jaw line and upper cheek area, although it is not a facelift.

Question 4

is preparation h used for skin tightening permanent or temporary?

Accepted Answer

Temporary: My understanding is that the ingredient in prep h that draws water from the skin has been removed. But even if i'm wrong, it is still only a temporary solution - your body moves water into any area of subcutaneous tissue that lacks it; so the "tightening" effect will last only until you stop applying prep h.

Question 5

are there any foods for skin tightening that also increase losing weight?

Accepted Answer

Sort of.: A healthy, well-balanced, limited-calorie diet will accomplish both of these things.

Question 6

if your under 22 and lose a ton of weight what are the chances of your skin tightening and if it is loose?

Accepted Answer

Depends on...: ...What you mean by a "ton" - the more weight you lose, the more loose skin will be left behind; but age 22 means you were overweight for a comparatively short period of time - plus young skin recovers more quickly from such stresses. So there is a good chance that at least most of the loose skin will resorb by itself, given  time.

Question 7

can something be done to help with penis skin tightening?

Accepted Answer

C'sider circumcision: Most definitive treatment for phimosis (tight foreskin) is circumcision. Steroid cream treatment may help temporarly, but usually not a long term solution for adults. Suggest you consult a urologist.

Question 8

are there any foods to aid skin tightening while losing weight.?

Accepted Answer

No.: Just keep losing weight; in most cases the tightening will take care of itself, though it may take some time. The important thing is getting rid of your excess weight, and bravo for doing that! if loose skin turns out to be an issue, you can worry about that later. Loose skin won't affect your health, but fat certainly will!

Question 9

does anyone know of a good skin tightening cream i can pick up in paris?

Accepted Answer

I'm sure there are..: ...Plenty of options in paris, just as there are here. But in 30+ years of practice I have never encountered a "skin tightening" product delivers any sort of lasting result, and i doubt very much that french products are any better than ours. Bring back one of those little replicas of the eiffel tower instead.

Question 10

what type of doctor handles skin tightening?

Accepted Answer

Plastic surgeon!: There are many technologies and physicians who claim ability to tighten loose skin, but all of these work to a minimal degree at most. Peels, lasers, and dermabrasion can tighten surface wrinkles, but if the skin and underlying tissues are lax, you will simply change your wrinkled jowls to smooth jowls. The same goes for abdominal skin stretched by pregnancy or deflated after massive weight loss!
