With so much jargon surrounding skin treatments, it’s hard to know what’s what and, most importantly, what’s right for you.
We’re all about making your life easier so we have broken down the difference between two of the most heard phrases – ‘skin tightening’ and ‘skin rejuvenation’.
As well as explaining what each means, we’ll explore some of the expert anti-ageing treatment options for both.
Skin tightening
What it means: skin tightening is all about making your skin firmer and less saggy, while reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Why you may need it: with age, our collagen (which provides skin structure and firmness) and elastin (which gives skin its ‘bounce back’ ability) begin to decline.
This leads to skin sagging, loss of definition, and lines and wrinkles.
Treatments that can tighten skin: we recommend procedures that can stimulate collagen and elastin production, as this will lead to tighter, firmer skin. My go-to treatments use radiofrequency heat energy to achieve this such as Forma, Secret RF and Morpheus8. A bespoke consultation will determine the best approach for you.
Skin rejuvenation
What it means: skin rejuvenation focuses on enhancing your general skin quality, making it look brighter and more youthful.
Why you may need it: general skin ageing and certain conditions such as acne, hyperpigmentation or rosacea may make our skin look uneven in tone and texture. They can also lead to skin dryness, oiliness, discolouration and dullness, which can make us look older and more tired.
Treatments that can rejuvenate skin: there are lots of skin rejuvenation options to choose from, but some of our favourites include skin needling, Profhilo, HydraFacial, ZO Skin Health Peels, Viscoderm Hydrobooster, Dermalux LED and Lumecca.
