Skin Tightening
Skin Tightening Treatment stimulates sub-dermal collagen production, to cause the collagen to contract and tighten itself, which reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The contraction of collagen allows room for new collagen production and tissue remodeling that creates younger, fresher skin.
How Does Skin Tightening Work?
​Skin Tightening therapy causes tissues to contract, which in turn safely tighten skin and increase its contour. Due to the Skin Tightening Treatment, we can reach the sub-dermal layer of the skin. The sub-dermal layer is the subcutaneous layer where the body stores fat in the subcutaneous layer. Other components include collagen-rich connective tissue and a network of blood vessels and nerves.
When the skin tightening is performed, the molecular friction in the tissue causes the collagen tissue to contract and made firmer while encouraging the production of new collagen proteins. This creates an immediate skin tightening effect with a smoother skin and a lifted complexion.
What about Cellulite?
The Ultrasound Cavitation targets the cellulite tissue through frequency vibrations to stimulate the production of subdermal collagen. The procedure triggers tissue remodeling as well as the synthesis of fresh collagen and elastin.
​
Why is it difficult to reduce cellulite?
​
In the human body, a web of connective tissues hold the skin and fat together. Since the connective tissue is a solid sheet, there are holes where fat can attach itself and develop to create a "cottage cheese look." Even with exercise and healthy diet, the loose net of tissue means more spaces where fat can poke through.
​
The best way to reduce cellulite is to get a professional treatment done at Xenia Skin Care & Spa. During treatment, vibration waves penetrate the skin that tightens the skin and boosts collagen production, which result in tighter, more taught skin which looks younger and smoother.
​
Which are the areas where treatment is more effective?
At Xenia Skin Care & Spa, Skin Tightening is used to treat patches of loose skin: face, neck, arms, stomach, and cellulite.

What does it feel like?
The treatment is non-invasive and painless. You may feel a warming sensation and slight feeling of vibration on the areas being treated.
​
Is the treatment safe for everyone?
The treatment is safe for everyone as long as you are over 18 years old and do not have any major health contraindication.
​
How many treatments will it take to see results?
You may notice immediate skin tightening after your treatment. Afterwards, the results continue as the proteins produce more new, fresh collagen over the next five days.
We recommend a course of 8 to 12 treatments spaced twice per week to get the ideal results. It is important that your expectations are realistic.

​
​
Are results permanent?
Results will be permanent or long-lasting as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle. The visible benefits include tighter skin and a smoother surface with less wrinkles and sagging skin. As a complementary benefit, there is significant improvements in tolerating sun damage. Since sun is the main factor in producing aging skin, the treatment helps with photoaged skin, hyperpigmentation, and other effects caused by the sun.
