THREADS FOR NON-SURGICAL BODY SKIN TIGHTENING

NON-SURGICALLY LIFT AND TIGHTEN YOUR BODY WITH THREADS IN ST. GEORGE, UT AT RIVERSIDE MEDICAL ARTS.

We have seen the positive aesthetic facial results that can be achieved with Threads. Now the specialists at Riverside Medical Arts are offering Threads to tighten the skin on the body. This non-surgical technique safely and effectively lifts and tightens loose skin for specific parts of the body, especially the tummy, buttocks, arms and knees.

WHAT ARE THREADS AND HOW DO THEY WORK FOR BODY SKIN TIGHTENING?

Threads are needles that are pre-loaded with a polydioxanone (PDO) thread, which is absorbable. The whole needle is inserted in the interstitial tissue (tissue between cells) at the subdermal level, parallel to the surface of the skin. The needle is then pulled out and the PDO thread remains under the skin. The PDO thread stimulates collagen that eventually tightens the skin.

Specific protocols are employed by the skin tightening specialists at Riverside Medical Arts to achieve the desired results for the body. Examples of skin body tightening using Threads include:

  • EZ-KNEE MESH WITH THREADS SMOOTH
  • BUTT LYFT WITH THREADS

Other areas of the face and body that can tighten loose skin include the face, neck, breasts, arms, stomach and the waist. Learn more about Threads for face lifting.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THREADS FOR THE BODY?

As with the face, the benefits of this non-surgical body tightening procedure are:

  • Natural Results
  • No Cuts or Incisions
  • No Surgery
  • Quick procedure

HOW LONG DOES THE EFFECT LAST?

Because the tightening can continue to show results for up to 6 months, the actual benefits can last for 12 – 18 months.

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR THREADS FOR THE BODY?

If you have been troubled with loose skin in the tummy, buttocks and/or knees and are close to your ideal body weight and desire a non-surgical answer, this could be the body tightening procedure for you.

WHO ARE IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR AN IPL TREATMENT?

Patients who have light skin and are bothered about the damage sun exposure has done to their skin may benefit from IPL treatments. Furthermore, this procedure may be used to address vascular conditions, including broken capillaries that are commonly found in the legs and thighs. Also known as photo facial, IPL also addresses some laxity or loss of firmness in the skin.

HOW DO IPL TREATMENTS WORK?

IPL technology involves the emission of short blasts of high-intensity light in order to penetrate the layer below the skin’s surface. The aim of the treatment is to damage the production of melanin, which is the substance that makes up the brown pigmentation in the skin, as well as the blood vessels that are responsible for the broken capillaries. While the skin naturally repairs the damage, the skin becomes smoother with a more even skin tone.

WHAT CAN BE EXPECTED DURING AN IPL TREATMENT?

During your IPL treatment, you will feel a sensation that most of our patients in St. George describe as similar to the snapping of a rubber band. However, this can provide more discomfort to you than others as individuals have different levels of tolerance to pain. Our doctors at Riverside Medical Arts will provide you with the necessary information about the procedure, including what to expect before, during, and after the treatment.

HOW IPL TREATMENTS DO I NEED?

A series of treatments is required when it comes to IPL procedures in order to achieve optimal results. Usually, three to six treatment sessions, which are a month apart, are needed.
