Why More People Are Choosing Nonsurgical Skin Tightening With Opus®

By: Cory Gaiser, M.D.

There’s no question that lines, wrinkles, and loose skin are among the most common and most frustrating side effects of aging. A primary cause of these developments is the loss of collagen, which occurs naturally over time. While cosmetic surgery is certainly an effective anti-aging solution, many men and women prefer a more convenient, less invasive, and less expensive alternative to plastic surgery. For these patients, board-certified physician Dr. Cory A. Gaiser and the expert team at New Body Aesthetics in Cincinnati, OH are proud to offer a number of cutting-edge nonsurgical body contouring treatments, including radiofrequency skin tightening. Keep reading to learn more about the benefits of nonsurgical skin tightening with Opus, and find out why more and more patients each year are turning to this exciting treatment.

 

Causes of loose skin

Lines, wrinkles, and loose skin develop over time as a natural consequence of aging and are primarily due to the breakdown of collagen fibers, as well as a decline in new collagen production. Additional factors may contribute to a patient’s skin laxity, including:

 

  • Genetics
  • Sun exposure
  • Diet
  • Lifestyle
  • Smoking
  • Poor skin care routine
  • Stress
  • Weight fluctuation

 

What is the best skin tightening treatment for me?

There’s no shortage of over-the-counter creams and collagen-based supplements that claim to tighten the skin. However, most of these products are insufficient or ineffective. Without a doubt, professional skin tightening treatments and procedures – like Opus RF skin tightening – are among the most beneficial solutions for getting firmer skin with reliable and long-lasting results.

 

How does RF skin tightening work?

Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening with the state-of-the-art Opus technology works to boost the body’s natural production of collagen by delivering targeted energy to deep layers of the skin. During the procedure, which can typically be completed in less than an hour, patients will lie comfortably in one of our private treatment rooms. The Opus device is passed over the skin and administers radiofrequency energy waves that heat the skin to a precise temperature. This triggers the body’s natural regeneration process, which stimulates the production of new, healthy collagen fibers. Over the next several weeks or months, patients will begin to notice their skin looking smoother, tighter, firmer, and more youthful.

 

Where can Opus skin tightening be performed?

Common treatment areas for RF skin tightening with Opus include:

 

  • Face
  • Neck
  • Under the chin
  • Arms
  • Abdomen
  • Buttocks
  • Thighs
  • Knees

 

During your initial consultation in Cincinnati, OH, Dr. Gaiser will evaluate your problem areas, discuss your goals, and determine whether RF skin tightening may be right for you.

 

Does RF skin tightening hurt?

The majority of patients find radiofrequency skin tightening virtually painless. For men and women who may be anxious about pain with RF skin tightening, our caring team can apply a topical anesthetic prior to treatment. After RF skin tightening, patients can expect mild redness, swelling, and irritation. These side effects of RF skin tightening typically resolve on their own within a few days.

 

With Opus RF skin tightening, you can get the body of your dreams in as little as one treatment!

For patients hoping to get tighter skin without surgery, RF skin tightening offers no incisions, no anesthesia, minimal side effects, and long-lasting results.
