Our non-surgical skin tightening procedures are ideal for improving loose skin on areas of the face like the forehead and brow, lower face, neck, and eye areas. Our procedures include the use of RF Microneedling as well as laser treatment. Dr. Rubinstein’s practice Laser & Cosmetic surgery Specialists, PC in Hudson Valley, NY offers both Microneedling RF and Precision Tx Laser to patients seeking aesthetic skin rejuvenation.
*Each patient is unique and individual results may vary.
Our skin tightening procedures can also be used to treat the abdomen, arms, thighs, buttocks and other areas on the body. They are FDA-approved for non-surgical toning and wrinkle treatment as well as for the treatment of acne and acne scarring.
Microneedling RF (radio frequency) and Precision Tx Laser have been referred to as a non-surgical facelift because some believe they can provide results comparable to facial plastic surgery. The radio frequency energy contracts and tightens the collage while preserving the surrounding tissue for a smoother, younger, more toned appearance, while our laser treatment tightens the skin from underneath while also melting fat in the face and neck.

Skin Tightening Treatments
Genius RF
RF microneedling, or radiofrequency microneedling, is an innovative skin rejuvenation procedure. RF microneedling is a type of collagen induction therapy used to treat skin laxity, fine lines and wrinkles, blemishes, acne scarring, enlarged pores, sun damage, rough skin, and stretch marks.
The device uses a combination of radiofrequency waves and needles to produce a series of tiny, controlled skin injuries. These injuries initiate new skin growth, which reduces the appearance of scars and wrinkles.
The Genius RF microneedling device is the gold standard of microneedling since it provides the plastic surgeon with feedback during treatment, improving comfort and accuracy. Proprietary technology shows the surgeon the exact delivery of radiofrequency energy in real-time, with presets and needle tips for all types of skin and areas of the body.
Compared with other skin rejuvenation treatments, RF microneedling is minimally invasive while offering noticeable results.
Precision Tx Laser
The Precision Tx Laser treatment is a recent development in skin rejuvenation and dermal tightening that directs heat energy directly below the skin from within. Minor incisions are created around the face so a fiber optic wire can be inserted under the skin. Once this is in place, an Nd:YAG 1440-nm laser delivers energy that liquefies fat and heats the dermal layer of skin. During other laser procedures, the heat must penetrate through the top layers of skin, emitting a lot of heat energy to reach deeper tissues, which can cause extended healing times. By accessing the tissues below the superficial layers of skin, fat can be melted and suctioned out of the face and neck, including the jawline and below the chin, while simultaneously rejuvenating and tightening the skin.
The results include smoother skin, youthful contours, and improved skin elasticity. Often referred to as non-surgical facelift, the Precision Tx Laser may be best for younger patients who would like to postpone a traditional facelift. The treatment is completed in-office under local anesthesia and sedation is unnecessary. After a single session, Precision Tx Laser patients will see continued improvement for months after the procedure.
After Skin Tightening Treatment: What to Expect
After treatment with Precision Tx Laser, patients may go home, and it is better for a friend or relative to drive. A compression bandage is wrapped around the treatment areas for support and inflammation control. These bandages can be removed after 48 hours, and the patient usually is cleared to work after 3 days. Strenuous work and exercise should be avoided for at least 2 weeks, and a chin strap should be worn at night for 4-6 weeks.
Some skin tightening and fat removal may be seen immediately, but final results are not seen for 3-6 months. In most cases, only one treatment is needed, and results usually last 3-5 years.
Possible Complications of Skin Tightening Treatment
The Precision Tx Laser lift is a very safe procedure with few complications. Patients will experience some bruising and swelling, and most patients find that over-the-counter medication sufficiently controls any discomfort.
