Body Flaccidity
Flaccidity occurs when the skin's support fibers (collagen and elastin) are affected by a lack of nutrients or oxygenation, leading to tissue atrophy (muscular or cutaneous). The main causes for this are aging, sedentary lifestyle, genetic predisposition, hormonal imbalances, and inadequate weight loss processes.
The recommended physiotherapeutic treatments are:
a) Radiofrequency: This non-invasive treatment increases the temperature of the skin tissue through high-frequency electric currents, improving blood circulation and nutrient supply, tissue hydration, oxygenation, and accelerating the elimination of catabolites and lipolysis. It promotes collagen fiber realignment and an increase in fiber count, as well as an increase in the thickness and density of the epithelial tissue, along with soft tissue regeneration. It is indicated for patients with mild to moderate skin flaccidity.
b) Russian Current: Stimulates the muscles through electrodes connected to devices that generate low-intensity electric currents. It improves muscle tone and, consequently, the flaccidity of tissues.
c) Carboxytherapy: Increases blood flow to the area, while also stimulating the production of collagen and elastic fibers, which are responsible for skin firmness.
d) Mesolifting: Indicated for improving muscle tone, tissue oxygenation, and combating flaccidity through the application of faradic current.
e) Microcurrent: The application of special low-intensity currents causes relaxation, rejuvenating the face and reducing the appearance of expression lines.
