The science behind sagging skin?
Before we discuss facial contouring in Thunder Bay, ON, it’s important to understand how skin loses its tightness in the first place. Healthy skin is rich with collagen and elastin proteins. Collagen keeps skin firm, whereas elastin keeps skin elastic.
Skin becomes looser as it loses these important proteins. These protein levels diminish naturally over time, but outside factors may cause these levels to decrease as well.
You may lose collagen and elastin if you come into contact with excessive amounts of UV or pollutants. Alcoholics may also lose elastin and collagen quicker than other people.
Contouring With Emface
The first option for facial contouring in Thunder Bay, ON, is Emface. Emface is a treatment that provides results similar to a facelift without the need for invasive surgery.
Using a combination of radiofrequency energy and electromagnetic stimulation, the Emface treatment causes muscle contractions in the face. Similar to lifting weights at the gym, these contractions build muscle for a more toned look.
This treatment also triggers collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, tighter skin. When combined, these effects can help your face look younger and rejuvenated. You don’t need to go under the knife to see facial contouring results.
Feel the Power of Fillers
Another option for facial contouring in Thunder Bay, ON, is our dermal fillers. While it doesn’t use the same technology as the Emface treatment, filler is an excellent way to restore lost volume. If you have noticed droopy, sagging features, then these injections can help you regain your plump, youthful appearance.
We’ll customize your filler procedure based on your needs. When you come in for a filler treatment, we’ll let you sit back while we make our injections. And one of the best parts of our dermal fillers treatment is the minimal downtime.
After just a day of recovery, you can enjoy increased volume for up to 2 years.
Cut Down on Chin Fat
A common reason our clients come in for facial contouring is because of excess chin fat. People store fat in a deposit beneath the chin, leading to a “double chin.”
You can reduce the appearance of your double chin with a Belkyra injection. Belkyra is made of deoxycholic acid, a material that the body naturally creates to destroy fat. When injected, it goes to work eliminating fat cells in the treated area.
Many of our clients only need one Belkyra treatment to experience noticeable fat-reduction results, though we may recommend additional treatments depending on your condition.
But the best part of the Belkyra injection process is that its results are permanent. Once your treatment is complete, the destroyed fat cells are gone for good, and healthy lifestyle habits can help you maintain the benefits forever.
