Skin Tightening in Long Island, NY
Over the years, the skin loses some of its elasticity, making it difficult for it to “snap back” into place after changes to the body. After weight loss or pregnancy, it’s not uncommon to be left with loose, hanging skin. Luckily, advances in minimally invasive technology allow us to treat loose skin without the need for extensive downtime or recovery.
Am I a Candidate for Skin Tightening Treatments?
If you’ve recently lost weight or have loose skin due to pregnancy, you might be a candidate for skin tightening treatments. Candidates for skin tightening:
- Have mild to moderate loose skin
- Have moderate skin elasticity
- Want to tighten loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy
Minimally invasive skin tightening is ideal for patients who have mild concerns, as severe skin sagging often requires surgery to remedy.
If loose skin is detracting from your appearance and bringing your confidence down, minimally invasive skin tightening might be for you. To see if you are a candidate, call Dr. Daniel Bienstock, MD, FACS, today at (516) 776-9988 or fill out our online contact form to schedule a consultation with Dr. Bienstock.
What Are My Skin Tightening Options?
After significant weight loss or changes due to pregnancy, the last thing you’d like to see is loose, sagging skin. What’s more frustrating is loose skin is quite difficult to remedy without surgery—until now. Dr. Bienstock offers skin tightening treatments to remedy aesthetic concerns caused by loose skin. In addition, his patients can see even better results when non-surgical skin tightening options are paired with liposuction.
During your consultation, Dr. Bienstock will listen to your goals and examine your skin to test its elasticity. Once you decide that skin tightening is ideal for you, he’ll create a plan that incorporates one of the following options.
Renuvion®
Renuvion®, also known as J-Plasma®, is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive skin tightening treatment for use on the face and body. This treatment firms and tightens the skin by combining the heat of radiofrequency (RF) and helium, which causes an immediate contraction of the skin and tissues. RF technology also recontours the tissues, boosting collagen production for improved results over time. During treatment, you’ll be given anesthesia for comfort while Dr. Bienstock carefully inserts the Renuvion® device just under the skin through tiny incisions.
Skin Tightening and Liposuction
Renuvion® can be performed alone, but it is almost always used in conjunction with liposuction. As liposuction gently removes excess fat from the treatment area, Renuvion® can be used to instantly tighten and constrict tissues for a smooth, contoured result. Dr. Bienstock commonly uses this technique to treat submental fat (a double chin), as Renuvion® is gentle enough on the face and more effective than other non-surgical options. Renuvion® and liposuction are commonly performed in the following areas:
- Abdomen
- Chin and neck
- Jawline
- Thighs
How Much Does Skin Tightening Cost in Long Island?
The cost of Renuvion® will vary from patient to patient due to differences in treatment areas and whether the treatment is paired with liposuction or not. During your consultation, Dr. Bienstock will create a unique skin-tightening treatment plan for you and then provide you with an accurate cost estimate.
