The best aesthetic treatments to restore the firmness of the skin, leaving the belly smooth and firmer, include radiofrequency, Russian current and carboxitherapy, because these contract the existing collagen fibers and promote the formation of new collagen cells.
Collagen is the main protein that gives structure and firmness to the skin and when it is reduced or slightly contracted the result is a flabby skin, which seems to be wrinkled and with great elasticity. Therefore, to combat sagging skin in any part of the body, it is essential to act on existing collagen fibers and form new fibers.
Thus, the best aesthetic treatments against sagging belly include:
1. Radio frequency
In radiofrequency equipment is used that glides on the skin producing a pleasant heat, which should never exceed 40ºC. The waves emitted by the device act directly on the skin, contracting the existing collagen fibers and also promotes the formation of new collagen fibers. The results are progressive and after about 21 days the skin is even firmer than in the first days after application. But for the skin to be completely smooth, without any sagging, it may be necessary to have a session every 15 days, for a period of approximately 3 months.
If the person still has some abdominal fat the radiofrequency is able to help in its elimination, however, if the objective is in addition to firming the skin to eliminate localized fat, a treatment protocol involving radiofrequency with lipocavitation can be performed, because that way you will achieve excellent results, without having to resort to plastic surgery.
2. Russian Current
In the Russian current, electrodes are used that are placed on the skin, producing low intensity electrical current. This current stimulates the muscles promoting their contraction more efficiently, because the contraction ends up being stronger and lasts longer than the contraction performed in an abdominal exercise. This improves muscle tone, making the abdominal muscles firmer.
This is an excellent treatment for women after childbirth because in addition to combating flaccidity by improving the musculature under the skin, it also decreases abdominal diastasis, which happens when the rectus abdominis muscle becomes very flaccid and removed, due to the growth of the belly in pregnancy. In this case, treatment can be performed daily, preferably 5 days a week and can begin 15 days after normal delivery and 1 month after cesarean delivery. When associated with the use of creams to treat flaccidity, the results are even more satisfactory.
3. Criolift
It uses a cold system called a peltier cell, which manages to decrease the local temperature up to minus 10 degrees, promoting vasoconstriction and increasing the tone of the skin and muscles, thus decreasing abdominal flaccidity.
4. Mesolifting
They are injections of rejuvenating substances or medications indicated by the dermatologist that moisturize and regenerate the skin, decreasing the sagging of the belly. The most commonly used substances include hyaluronic acid and alkaline phosphatase.
5. Microcurrents
It is a type of electrostimulation, which uses low intensity currents to promote skin rejuvenation, increasing the firmness of the skin of the entire abdominal region. In addition, it improves tissue nutrition and oxygenation, generating a revitalizing effect on the skin. This stimulus also promotes the production of a greater amount and better collagen fibers, which may be associated with massage and the use of cosmetic creams.
6. Galvanic current
It can be used to promote a low intensity continuous electric current that passes from one electrode to another, making a small aggression on the skin so that it can regenerate. This healing leads to the formation of collagen tissue, filling existing gaps and the result is an increase in skin firmness.
7. Carboxitherapy
Carboxitherapy consists of the application of several injections of medicinal CO2 under the skin, which act by promoting blood flow and improving dermal oxygenation and increasing the production of fibroblasts and, consequently, new collagen and elastin fibers in the treated skin. It is excellent for eliminating flaccid and stretchy skin, but it causes some discomfort and therefore the treatment should not be maintained for more than 4 sessions, approximately.
This treatment has its important contraindications and side effects and for this reason it should only be carried out by a physiotherapist specialized in functional dermatosis and before starting treatment, the person must be informed of the risks of carboxitherapy and sign the consent form.
