Skin tightening

More effective than cosmetics!

Over time, our skin’s texture changes as a result of various physiological processes. As we age, the skin produces less collagen and elastin.

These proteins are essential for maintaining skin firmness, elasticity, and smoothness. When more is broken down than is produced, the skin loses its firmness, leading to wrinkles and sagging. Additionally, prolonged exposure to light (UV rays) and excessive sun exposure over the years damages the skin, particularly on the face.

Individual predisposition can also cause the skin to become uneven, wrinkled, or blotchy. The good news is that we can halt these processes, slow them down, and even take steps to improve your skin, making it healthier, smoother, and firmer once again.

Look radiant!

How can you look better and look natural?

There are various ways to achieve a fresh, radiant look. Advancements in aesthetic medicine have given us the tools to help every patient enhance their appearance, making facial skin appear firmer and healthier immediately after treatment. However, the vast array of anti-ageing products can be overwhelming. That’s why at SK-AESTHETICS, we recommend a one-to-one consultation to achieve the best possible results. A holistic facial treatment – or, as we call it, a full-face treatment – consists of many small, customised elements, tailored to the unique characteristics of each individual’s skin and skin type.

Patient satisfaction

How satisfied are our patients with the results?

For most of my patients, the goal is to look better, healthier, and fresher.

Many people have skin-related worries, including discoloration, pigmentation issues, or wrinkles. Thin, translucent skin can also cause frustration. I offer effective treatments to address these concerns, helping patients achieve a renewed sense of well-being, satisfaction, and happiness. They finally enjoy looking in the mirror again.

Innovation

Which skin tightening treatment is most effective?

The effectiveness of skin tightening facial treatments varies from person to person, influenced by factors such as individual skin type and the extent of skin ageing. At SK-AESTHETICS in Rapperswil-Jona by Lake Zurich, we offer aesthetic facial treatments that are thoroughly tested and safe.

My recommendation for achieving the best results begins with a one-to-one consultation to determine the most effective methods for you. Good skincare, including sun protection, is essential for maintaining the long-term benefits of any therapy.

We offer a holistic facial treatment, which we call the full face treatment. This combination treatment can include biostimulants, botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid fillers, skin boosters, laser therapies, and more.

We will be happy to advise you and work together with you to find the most effective skin tightening and facial rejuvenation approach for you.

Risks

What are the risks and side effects of facial skin tightening treatments?

Any facial skin treatment can cause reddening. Slight swelling may occur but can be managed with cooling pads, cooling face masks, or a cooling cream.

Skin tightening treatments are safe as long as they are used correctly. The latest technology makes them even more safe. For example, the Pico Laser is also used to remove tattoos.

My advice

The skin loses its smoothness with age as a result of natural physiological processes, environmental factors, and genetic influences.

From my perspective as a doctor, improving the health and texture of your skin is straightforward. It can be done with a targeted combination of injectables and various lasers. Daily sun protection in the morning and a skin-renewing cream with retinol or fruit acids in the evening are the foundation for healthy, radiant skin, even when undergoing more extensive skin tightening treatments.

FAQs – Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to care for your skin?

Less is often more, especially when it comes to skin care. Apply a high sun protection factor sunscreen each morning as a base, even under make-up. In the evening, after cleansing your face, use a skin-renewing cream with retinol or hyaluronic acid.

Are expensive cosmetic products better than cheap ones?

No really. Often, the fewer additives such as fragrances, emulsifiers, or preservatives in a cream, the better it is tolerated. My recommendation for patients is to use two specific creams: an oil-free sun cream during the day and a night cream with retinol or hyaluronic acid in the evening. This advice suits almost all my patients, with very few exceptions.

How often do I have to repeat laser skin tightening treatments?

The frequency of top-up laser treatments for skin tightening depends on the type of laser treatment, the condition of the skin, and any previous skin damage. Many non-invasive laser treatments require three sessions at intervals of 3–6 weeks. In contrast, some invasive treatments may only need to be repeated every one to three years.

What is needed to protect the skin well, even when young?

The most crucial step is to use a good sunscreen with a high sun protection factor, even in winter. Apply sunscreen every morning, either alone or under your favourite cream, for life. This practice is the best way to prevent wrinkles and maintain beautiful, healthy facial skin.
