Non-Surgical Skin Tightening treatments use advanced energy-based technologies to lift, firm, and tighten loose or sagging skin without surgery, needles, or downtime. These treatments work by delivering controlled heat energy deep into the skin's dermis and subcutaneous layers, causing immediate collagen contraction and triggering long-term collagen remodeling (neocollagenesis). The result is firmer, smoother, more youthful-looking skin on the face and body. Multiple technologies are available including radiofrequency (RF), ultrasound (Ultherapy), laser, and infrared light.
Delivers electromagnetic energy to heat dermis (40-45°C), causing collagen contraction and remodeling
Best for: Mild to moderate laxity, cellulite, body contouring
High-intensity focused ultrasound reaches SMAS layer (4.5mm deep) for deep lifting without affecting surface
Best for: Significant lifting, brow lift, neck lift, deeper tissue tightening
Infrared energy penetrates deep to stimulate collagen while cooling surface skin for comfort
Best for: Gentle tightening, sensitive skin, no downtime needed
Laser energy heats collagen in dermis causing immediate contraction and long-term remodeling
Best for: Precise treatment, combining with other procedures, faster results
Device delivers controlled energy (RF, ultrasound, laser, or infrared) to targeted depth in skin
Tissue heated to therapeutic temperature (typically 40-65°C depending on technology) while surface cooled
Heat causes existing collagen fibers to contract and tighten, producing immediate lifting effect
Body's wound healing response triggered, producing new collagen and elastin over 3-6 months
Skin continues to tighten and lift as new collagen forms, with peak results at 3-6 months
30-90 minutes depending on areas treated
None - immediate return to all activities
Before: Consultation to assess skin laxity and choose appropriate technology. Photos taken. Skin cleansed and gel applied
During: Device passes over treatment area delivering energy. Warm to hot sensation felt (varies by technology). Ultherapy may cause brief discomfort when energy pulses. Most treatments comfortable and relaxing
After: Mild redness for few hours (most technologies). Possible mild swelling with ultrasound treatments. No restrictions - makeup can be applied immediately. Return to all activities same day
Results: Some immediate tightening visible. Progressive improvement over 2-6 months as collagen builds. Single treatment often sufficient, some choose yearly maintenance
Typically 1-3 treatments
Ultrasound: 1 treatment (lasts 1-2 years) | RF: 3-6 sessions | Laser/Infrared: 3-5 sessions
20-30% improvement in skin laxity
Peak results at 3-6 months. Results last 1-2 years. Annual maintenance recommended
