Sagging Skin or Dimpling Skin |
|
At Pier Laser Med Spa, although we expect technology one day to come up with an effective, cost efficient and reliable way to help sagging skin noninvasively, we are not there yet.
There are many machines being sold, which mostly employ radiofrequency with manufacturer's claims that they effectively help sagging or dimpling skin. Although I believe that sometimes there is some temporary benefit, the studies documenting this as cost/effective are usually funded by the manufacturers. Objective comparisons are lacking. A double-blinded, placebo controlled prospective study by a respected university has not been done. Could it be that mildly slapping the area for some mild skin swelling is just as effective as these expensive machines?
We are still looking for a machine or treatment that delivers a "home run" in this area, but still have not been impressed with the current "state of the art", so we do not offer noninvasive treatments to our patients at this time.
