Popular Methods of Skin Tightening

Skin tightening doesn't have to be an objective only for those with a budget for it. There are optional methods for skin tightening that are not cost-restrictive.

Over-the-counter products

Department stores sell beauty creams. If your goal is to skin tightening, get creams that have the natural ingredients of Coenzyme Q10, Wakame, or Cynergy TK, which already have a successful track record of successfully tightening the skin.

Don't forget that you have to check for allergic reactions, though. Get a sample, first, apply on a hidden part of your body and after 48 hours, see if there is any swelling, itching or pain. If there's none, then go ahead and purchase the product and start your daily treatment!

There are also natural skin care products that can smoothen facial skin. Such products aid in the production of elastin, replacement of the collagen for cell renewal and epidermal healing. The natural and effective Coenzyme Q10 and Dead Sea Salt ingredients are components in all these products.

There is a Seaweed Orchard Mask that guarantees a moisturizing effect and the exfoliation of dead skin cells. Anti-wrinkle serums and creams are also available.

Acne Treatments

There are three acne treatments that are highly recommended. Pronexin is proven at fighting acne with no side effects, Acnetin with its 33 natural ingredients is one powerful acne treatment and Oxvercin, another treatment with no side effects is an acne serum.

Laser Skin Tightening

Those with a higher budget can choose cosmetic surgery and laser skin tightening treatments. These treatments take at least twenty minutes, longer with bigger areas treated.

One such treatment is Gentle YAG laser treatment, successfully proven to tighten the skin and stimulate new collagen production at the same time. When the laser heats up the layers under the skin, new collagen grows, which results in taut-looking skin. For optimal results, you should have an average of six treatments.

There is very minimal pain associated with this treatment. Costs vary from $350 to $700 per treatment. After the final/6th treatment, you can expect your skin to be tighter by 20% - 80%.

By then you'll probably be comfortable with laser procedures and might want to use laser treatments to take out unwanted hair. Laser Hair removal is done by the use of laser light beams penetrating the skin and destroying the follicle. This treatment costs $504 per treatment, as per national average estimates. A full effect can be seen after four treatments.
