How to Tighten Loose Skin?

With so many skin tightening devices on the market how do you know which one to choose? The technology in these devices has rapidly advanced over the last few years and there are several new devices coming down the pipeline. These energy based devices stimulate collagen which smooths, tightens and lifts skin. They can be used on the face, neck chest, abdomen and any area of the body where there is loose skin. They are safe and effective when performed correctly and often only one treatment is needed with little t no downtime. As the technology advances, surgery will possibly be a thing of the past and will not be needed until much later in life. When starting early, utilizing tightening devices to stimulate collagen for "collagen banking" as a preventative measure to prevent the aging process, we can delay aging and the need for surgery After watching this video, you learn how these devices work, and in my expert opinion, which ones I recommend.

I earned my Medical Degree from UC Irvine and completed my residency in Dermatology at UCLA. Upon completing my residency, I joined the full-time faculty at UCLA as a Clinical Instructor and Professor in Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery. I then went on to complete advanced fellowship training in Dermatologic Surgery at UC Davis and Cosmetic Dermatology at the Laser and Skin Surgery Center of Northern California with world-renowned expert, Dr. Suzanne Kilmer. After fellowship, I was appointed the Director of Dermatologic Surgery at the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Northern California where I remained active in clinical trials and have been on the forefront of the latest advances in aesthetics and dermatology. As an Orange County native, I love the SoCal community and currently enjoy being a Dermatologist in Newport Beach, CA.

My areas of expertise include cosmetic dermatology with a focus on injectable neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin), as well as dermal fillers (Juvederm, Voluma, Volbella, Vollure, Sculptra, Restylane, Belotero, and Radiesse). In addition, I travel nationally and internationally where I teach other physicians injection techniques and about the latest advances in dermatology. I am highly-trained in the use of lasers and energy-based devices to treat all aspects of photoaging, including fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, brown spots and facial vessels. I offer a comprehensive approach to body contouring with the use of minimally-invasive procedures. In addition, I specialize in Dermatologic Surgery including Mohs micrographic surgery, blepharoplasty, skin cancer excisions, sclerotherapy, surgical earlobe repair and cosmetic tattoo excisions.
