Firm Up, Weight LIfting for the Skin? Not Exactly!

Can you skip fillers , lasers, ultrasound and heat treatments, and just do some heavy lifting to improve the facial physique? We have muscles in our face, so overall facial structure can be improved by some exercising, but as for the skin itself there's no current plan to be able to firm it up just in the gym! How firm your skin is basically the same question as to how much collagen, thickness and elasticity you skin has. And the exact nature of your skin elasticity aslo has to do with you skin tone, too much DNA breakdown and the skin isn't healthy. We want to help our patients understand the principles behind skin care, and understanding what makes the skin firm is important. Firmness of skin has to some extent become a marking term without a real definition. As your skin care advisor what we want for your skin is a natural amount of skin rebound, appropriate skin tightness, overall good skin tone; and all of these components are just a bit different than just the skin elasticity. So building the elastin or collagen fibers through the use of appropriate treatments or products will help firmness. The best firm skin will have both emollient properties and, what we've been talking a lot about, high water content and stay moisturized. So again, making your skin firm and making it moist are really doing the same thing, we want to make your skin full of water! And just like we want to strengthen the skin, but not exactly put you on a weight lifting plan, we also want to make your skin full of water, and not only drinking a glass of water will do that!
