Skin elasticity is one of the most important indicators of youthful skin. With aging, collagen and elastin production decrease, and the skin loses its elasticity. According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nur Cihan Coşansu, clinical treatments offer effective solutions to increase skin elasticity.
Why Does Skin Lose Its Elasticity?
Skin elasticity decreases due to many factors:
- Aging
- Decreased collagen and elastin production
- UV rays
- Smoking and alcohol consumption
- Improper nutrition
- Stress
- Dehydration
Clinical Treatments That Boost Skin Elasticity
1. Radiofrequency (RF) Treatment
RF treatment increases collagen production by sending heat to the lower layers of the skin. This way, the skin tightens and its elasticity increases.
2. HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
HIFU targets the deep layers of the skin with focused ultrasound. It triggers collagen production and provides skin tightening.
3. Gold Needle (Fractional Radiofrequency)
Gold needle uses microneedling and radiofrequency together. It stimulates collagen production by creating controlled micro damage in the skin.
4. PRP Treatment
PRP, prepared from the person's own blood, accelerates cell renewal and increases skin elasticity.
5. Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy nourishes the skin with micro-injections of vitamins, minerals, and hyaluronic acid.
6. Biostimulating Fillers
Biostimulating fillers such as calcium hydroxyapatite and poly-L-lactic acid stimulate collagen production and increase skin elasticity.
7. Laser Treatments
Fractional lasers increase collagen production by renewing the skin in depth.
Lifestyle Tips That Support Skin Elasticity
- Use sunscreen every day
- Drink plenty of water
- Consume foods rich in antioxidants
- Avoid smoking and alcohol
- Get adequate sleep
- Manage stress
- Do regular exercise
How Long Do the Effects of Treatments Last?
The duration of effects of clinical treatments varies according to the method applied. Generally, the effects last 6-18 months. Regular care helps the results be more permanent.
Increasing skin elasticity is possible with clinical treatments. According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nur Cihan Coşansu, the most appropriate treatment plan should be determined according to the person's skin condition. With regular care, the elasticity of your skin can be preserved for a long time.
