What Is Face Toning

By Denise Richards

Many people are using facial toning programs as a means to hide their age. Facial toning techniques can be the best way to reduce sagging skin and give us a more youthful appearance. There are three main varieties of toning methods including cosmetic, surgical and non-surgical methods.

Most toning cosmetics use the same methods to make the skin tighter. They use compounds which will repair damaged collagen bonds, and cause the skin to form new bonds, helping it return to the levels it had when you were younger. Collagen and elastin are two of the structures in the skin which hold it together and make it much firmer and more toned. There is a big difference between toning products, and you need to lean toward the ones that contain natural compounds rather than potentially harmful chemical ingredients.

You can also use non-surgical methods to increase the amount of collagen in the skin, often through the use of ultrasound or radiofrequency waves. One example of this is a new procedure called Thermage. It uses radiofrequency waves which heat the skin. This causes the body to build new collagen bonds to firm and tone the skin and repair any damaged collagen bonds as well. Strengthening facial muscles can also tighten the skin and you may want to try making unusual facial expressions in order to work them all equally.

If none of these work or you want intense facial toning effects, you need to consider a partial or full face lift. Although the most extreme, it can be very effective especially if you only need a partial face lift. When you have a face lift, your extra skin and fat are removed. The facial muscles may also be cut and then sewn together again so that the face looks much more toned as a result. There are no other toning methods that are as effective as a face lift, but there are also no other methods with as many potential side effects.

By looking into each of these methods, you can pick the one that is best for you. It can give you the tight, toned facial skin you have always wanted and make you happier overall with your appearance. Because it is your face you want to make sure that you are taking the time to learn everything about the procedure you have selected so that you can achieve the maximum benefit while reducing the chances of negative side effects. - 30516
