What Causes Sagging Skin?

Am I a Good Candidate for Sagging Skin Treatment?

Non-surgical skin tightening treatments, such as Accent Prime and Opus Plasma, are generally safe and effective for most people. However, certain factors can affect whether or not you are a good candidate for these treatments. Good candidates for non-surgical skin tightening typically have the following:

• Mild to moderate skin laxity
• Good overall health
• Realistic expectations for the results of the treatment
• No active skin infections or skin conditions

Is There Any Downtime With Sagging Skin Treatment?

Non-surgical skin tightening treatments, such as Accent Prime and Opus Plasma, do not require downtime. Patients can typically return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area, but these are typically short-lived and fade within a few hours or days. You should avoid direct sun exposure for a few days after the treatment and use sunscreen to protect your skin. You should also avoid using exfoliating or harsh skin care products in the treated area for a few days after the treatment.

Unlike a single plastic surgery procedure, our non-invasive treatments do, however, typically require a series of treatments (usually three Opus Plasma or 3-6 Accent Prime), but involve no pain or downtime.  Your skin can feel a little “spicy” after an Opus Plasma treatment, but this is temporary and much less bothersome than post-surgery pain!
