How to Tighten Sagging Skin

Firming Sagging Skin Begins with Rejuvenation Treatments Targeted to Stimulate Cell Repair

One of the most FAQ when starting an anti-aging skin care regimen is how to tighten sagging skin.

Jasmine, a frequent visitor to this site asked many questions regarding her desire for firming sagging skin.

Her interest in learning the strategies that reduce sagging skin echo what we all want to know. . .

Here are my questions now:

1. I have noticed some sagging and I know its age related. What do you recommend to reduce sagging skin? I need to do something that works well for firming sagging skin and really learn how to tighten sagging skin for the long-term!  I have to confess that I  really want great results.
   
   
2. One of your recommendations is using a Botox alternative. Do you recommend that for me? If yes, how do I incorporate it in my existing skin care routine? Will that take care of sagging or is it more for lines and wrinkles? Will it work on the prevention of future wrinkles?
   
   
3. What do you suggest for hyper-pigmentation?
   I have some light pigmentation. That makes the skin look uneven and not bright. I want my skin to look healthy.
   
   
4. You have also suggested taking before and after pics. I was thinking that it would be useful in order to see what results I am getting. Do they need to be professional ones or would regular snapshots from a camera do just as well?

Sue, I really appreciate all your guidance. You are taking the guesswork out of how to treating aging skin care issues. You are doing all the research which is very hard to do and I just take your results and apply it to me. How cool is that?! Thanks so much."

And my response. . .

And the quick answers to Jasmine's questions:

1. The best anti-aging ingredients targeted to firm skin are DMAE, hyaluronic acid, antioxidant enriched products and retinol.
   
   Additionally, there are several spa treatments that work in concert with these ingredients that provide great results in firming sagging skin including microdermabrasion, the galvanic spa, micro needling collagen induction therapy, and the Nuface toning device.
   
   
2. The OTC alternative to Botox is an anti-aging ingredient called Argireline which temporarily "freezes" the muscles to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and provide the appearance of firmer skin.
   
   
3. The best ingredients to use for hyperpigmentation are a combination of retinol and hydroquinone products along with an occasional skin peel and microdermabrasion treatment.
   
   
4. Create a chronological history of before and after pictures of your rejuvenation efforts by taking your own snapshots.  (No need to go to a professional!)  Since visible signs of rejuvenation results are very gradual, a photo history demonstrates the results that you have achieved over time.  They are really quite inspiring too!
