A noninvasive approach to off-face skin laxity and tightening: a review of the literature.

A noninvasive approach to off-face skin laxity and tightening: a review of the literature. Semin Cutan Med Surg. 2015 Sep;34(3):118-128 Authors: Jerdan K, Fabi S Abstract Off-face skin scales tailored to each anatomical site can measure laxity and tightening of the neck, chest, arms, hands, abdomen, buttocks, and medial thighs. Although surgery may be indicated for major weight loss patients, other noninvasive modalities may be considered including: CO2 laser, bipolar radiofrequency, monopolar radiofrequency, microfocused ultrasound, and combination therapies. We provide a review of the literature for each modality and relevance to the off-face anatomical sites. PMID: 26566567 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
