Welcome to Helio Health and Wellness
What Is Skin Laxity?
Skin Laxity, or sagging skin, is an unfortunate side effect of aging. Over time, our bodies begin producing less collagen and elastin content. When this happens, skin laxity, especially in the face, has the effect of making people feel much older than they really are. Until now, those struggling with loose skin only had their plastic surgeons to turn to. Thankfully, non-surgical skin rejuvenation is now a simple visit away! At Helio Health and Wellness, we’re proud to offer the innovative Potenza™ RF treatment to improve the look and feel of your skin.
FAQs about Skin Laxity
What Causes Skin Laxity?
Aside from aging, skin laxity can also be caused by rapid weight loss. You do your best to maintain your appearance, we know that, but sometimes it seems like mother nature is not working in your favor. To make matters worse, certain environmental factors can increase the rate at which your skin loses elasticity. Frequent exposure to sunlight, irritants, and other factors has been shown to exacerbate signs of aging in the face. If you’re looking for a great treatment to stop sagging in its tracks, we’re here to help!
What Causes Skin Laxity?
Our amazing Potenza™ RF treatment uses ultrafine needles and radiofrequency energy to penetrate the top layer of your skin and trigger your body’s natural healing process. The triggered healing amps up your collagen and elastin production, tightening and refreshing your skin. The restorative properties of this device can provide you with the miraculous skin transformation you’ve been searching for.
What Are the Results of Treatment?
No recovery time is needed after Potenza™ RF. Following your visit, you are free to return to your normal daily activities. In most cases, several treatments are needed for best results. You may experience some redness and tenderness after your visit, but these side effects will subside after a few hours. To learn more about this and our other treatment options, we welcome you to visit our Austin center!
