We will take a closer look at how these treatment modalities work, the most popular treatments on the market today, and why so many women and men are turning to non-surgical treatments to enhance their appearance for better—without downtime or a surgical procedure.

Why Skin Loses Its Glow

Your skin is made up of two essential proteins – collagen and elastin. Both of these proteins provide structure, strength, and elasticity. After your 20s, your body starts to produce less collagen and elastin. Choosing sun exposure and lifestyle habits along with the natural aging process equal thinner, less firm skin with less youthful bounce.

Signs you need to consider treatment include:

Sagging around the cheeks, jaw line, and neck
Fine lines and wrinkles
Crepey skin texture
Dull or uneven tone

This is where skin tightening treatments come in to help – they promote skin to regenerate from the inside out, giving firmness, more tone to the skin and that healthy glow back.

What Exactly Are Skin Tightening Treatments?

Skin tightening treatments involve a non-surgical outcome with a range of energy types (radiofrequency, ultrasound, and laser) to stimulate collagen and improve the skin structure. Because these procedures do not involve surgical incision, they generally require less downtime than surgical lift procedures and develop a more natural effect over time.

If you are looking to improve your face, neck, arms, waist, or thighs there is always a treatment option that will suit your desired outcome.

How Skin Tightening Brings Back Your Glow

Here’s how these treatments can help rejuvenate your skin:

1. Collagen and elastin stimulation

The foundation of skin tightening is collagen. Skin tightening treatments start your body back on its journey to producing its natural collagen, which helps your skin to feel and look more firmer, plumper and allows your feeling more resilient.

2. Increases blood circulation

Many of these procedures also increase your blood flow, increasing the carrying of oxygen and nutrients to your skin cells leading to an improvement of your natural glow.

3. Skin texture improvement

Loose, crepey skin can easily make your complexion appear tired. Skin tightening can address rough and uneven textures reducing the loss of fine lines along with improving an overall intermediate appearance to your skin.

4. Facial and body contouring

Many skin tightening treatments can also assist in reducing mild deposits and/or moderate fluid retention to assist you in gently shaping the jawline, cheeks, or body to appear more lifted

Most Effective Skin Tightening Options

Here is a short, easy and popular list of noninvasive skin tightening methods:

1. Radiofrequency (RF) energy

RF energy heats the deep layers of your skin, stimulating collagen and resulting in tighter, firmer skin over time.

2. Ultrasound

Ultrasound technology such as Ultherapy® provide focused energy deep below the skin that will lift and tighten the skin over time.

3. Laser Skin Tightening

4. Microneedling with RF and/or exosomes

Microneedling has tiny needles that create micro-injuries in skin in hopes of stimulating healing, collagen, and further improvement of tone and texture of skin. When the microneedling is paired with RF or exosomes (commercially powerful regenerative compound serums) the results can be nothing short of incredible.

In Treatment: What to Expect

Most skin tightening procedures take about 30 to 90 minutes based on the area to be treated. You may feel some warming or tingling, but you’ll have very little painful sensation. You practitioner mighht recommend scheduling several treatment sessions separated by a few weeks, for best results.
