BODY SKIN TIGHTENING WITHOUT SURGERY

3D SYSTEM SLIM-TIGHT® 

Being a true expert in cosmetic body-lift procedures, Dr. Ektor also acknowledges that this type of surgery is not for everyone, as it requires significant downtime and preparation. In an effort to overcome these limitations, Dr. Ektor has developed a unique 2-step system for achieving spectacular 3D skin tightening results without the need to go under the knife. Discover the Slim-Tight treatment and forget loose skin forever.

STEP 1: 3D THREAD-LIFT

Saggy or Loose skin is not an easy problem to deal with. To achieve visible and long-lasting tightening, the Slim-Tight® protocol involves as a first step the application of surgical-type threads (e.g. silhouette soft® threads)  in order to create a 3D network of connective tissue-like support within the skin. This supportive matrix functions as a scaffold for new cell growth and collagen production that will stimulate skin contraction and tightening, while the thread-cones 'lock' the loose skin in place, thus preventing its return to its original shape. Treatment areas that can be targeted include the arms, thighs, buttocks and knees. This procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia in the office and it is virtually painless.

STEP 2: 3D SKIN REMODELING

In Step 2 of the Slim-Tight® protocol the aim is to promote skin remodelling via increase in hydration, elasticity and collagen production, in order to achieve a long-lasting result. PROFHILO® BODY is the first ultra-pure injectable hyaluronic acid (HA)-based product designed for treating skin laxity. It has one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market and the unique formulation contains different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid which work towards its Hydrolift® Action. These injections are carried out in the treatment area immediately after the treads are placed, under local anaesthesia in the office. Treatment areas that can be targeted include the arms, thighs, buttocks and knees.

FAQs

  • What is the advantage of the Slim-Tight treatment compared to other options?

In contrast to other treatments in the market that usually apply energy e.g. radiofrequency, ultrasound to heat-up the tissue and stimulate contraction, the Slim-Tight treatment actually 'reconstructs' the normal tissue anatomy by first introducing a connective tissue-like network of surgical threads that lifts the loose skin, before adding extra strength and elasticity to the tissue via injection of an ultra-high concentration hyaluronic acid solution that effectively remodels the deep tissue structure. This makes it possible to achieve much more impressive results which also last significantly longer.

  • How many treatments are required for visible results?

The treatment is carried out in one session, which usually lasts 1 hour. Optionally, for better results and based on doctor recommendation, it is possible to repeat the injection part (step 2) of the treatment at 1 month.

  • How long do the results normally last?

The results of the treatment will last 18 -24 months, depending on the condition of the skin and lifestyle (diet, excersise).

However, even  after this period, the tissue is left in a better condition than its state before treatment, due to the fact that 

the Slim-Tight treatment changes the deep tissue structure since in improves its elasticity and hydration. 

  • Which areas of the body can be treated with Slim-Tight?

Treatment areas that can be targeted include the lower abdomen, arms, inner thighs, outer thighs, buttocks and knees.

  • Is the Slim-Tight treatment painful?

This procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia in the office and it is virtually painless.
