Skin Tightening for Body
Loose or sagging skin is an inevitable, yet frustrating, side effect of weight loss, aging, or simply genetics. At Heal n Cure, we offer radiofrequency skin tightening in Glenview to help patients restore firmness and elasticity.
Equipped with advanced technology and medical expertise, Dr. Meena Malhotra has built her reputation as a leader in functional medicine, approaching each patient’s care plan by getting to the root causes of their concerns—rather than stopping at surface-level symptoms.
We bring this same philosophy to aesthetics, and recognize the deep connection between your skin health and your overall wellness. Simply put, skin tightening treatments aren’t just about looking younger, but rather about restoring balance, confidence, and vitality from the inside out.
Skin Tightening With Radiofrequency
At Heal n Cure, we offer 3 advanced devices that utilize radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten and rejuvenate the skin.
Emface
Emface is a non-invasive, needle-free device that helps tighten and contour the cheeks, jawline, and submentum; it’s a promising solution for those looking to tighten loose skin and enhance facial appearance without undergoing surgery. By leveraging advanced RF in combination with precise electromagnetic stimulation, Emface provides comprehensive non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
Exion
Exion integrates fractional RF energy, targeted ultrasound, and microneedling to tackle various skin issues. This cutting-edge treatment works to decrease skin laxity, diminish wrinkles, remove age spots, and improve skin texture and tone, delivering natural-looking rejuvenation without the need for surgery.
Morpheus8
Morpheus8 can treat the face and neck, using RF energy combined with a microneedling technique to reach deeper layers of the dermis. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, Morpheus8 can effectively reduce signs of aging, improve skin texture, and restore a more youthful, radiant complexion. It’s a game-changer for those seeking a non-surgical facelift solution or to revitalize their skin and combat the natural effects of aging.
“Am I a candidate for radiofrequency skin tightening?”
Using radiofrequency skin tightening in Glenview, loose or sagging skin—caused by aging, weight loss, or simply genetics—can be corrected.
Aging & Genetics
Collagen and elastin, structural proteins that allow our skin to “snap back,” naturally decline with age, but genetics also play a role in their production. Some patients are naturally more likely to (1) produce less collagen and (2) break it down more quickly.
Additionally, healthy skin naturally renews itself through cellular turnover and maintains hydration through molecules like hyaluronic acid. Over time, this turnover gradually slows, causing the skin barrier to become less and less effective in holding moisture. Less moisture means thinner, drier skin that’s more prone to laxity.
Environmental factors like sun damage and pollution can affect the health and laxity of the skin.
Hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, and growth hormone influence collagen production, fat distribution, and skin thickness. During aging, or after rapid or extreme weight loss, these hormone levels shift, reducing the body’s ability to maintain skin integrity. From a functional medicine perspective, these internal imbalances are the “root causes” that accelerate sagging skin.
Weight Loss
Underneath the skin lie fat and muscle tissue, both of which act like natural “fillers.” Even if you are maintaining a steady weight over time, muscle tone and subcutaneous fat naturally reduces with age, lessening the underlying structure and causing a hollowed or sagging appearance. During significant weight loss, however, that fat and muscle mass can diminish, leaving behind excess skin.
The results of a non-surgical facelift are most natural if you continually treat skin laxity along your weight loss journey; if you wait until you’ve lost a significant amount of weight, you may need a surgical option instead.
Note: You are not a candidate for radiofrequency skin tightening in Glenview if any of the following apply:
- You have uncontrolled diabetes
- You have an active skin infection (including cold sores)*
- You have active skin cancer
- You have recently used Accutane
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
*If you have a history of cold sores, we can discuss pre-treatment with medication like valacyclovir to help prevent a flareup before your skin tightening treatment.
