What is Nonsurgical Skin Tightening?
Throughout the course of our younger years, we can enjoy an ample reserve of collagen and elastin, which helps to keep our complexion supple and youthful. Over time, this foundational stock of nutrients can diminish, making these tissues become less firm, which results in wrinkles and droopy skin. If you want to firm and rejuvenate your skin without cosmetic surgery, then you may be a great candidate for nonsurgical skin tightening at Elysium SurgiSpa. With the use of innovative radiofrequency (RF) technology, nonsurgical skin tightening helps to boost collagen and elastin generation to give you more taut, glowing skin.
