Skin Tightening Benefits for a Youthful Appearance
Skin tightening procedures offer a non-invasive solution to combat the effects of aging and skin laxity, rejuvenating your appearance without the need for surgery. These treatments stimulate collagen production, leading to firmer, more youthful skin. Safe and effective, skin tightening can be a transformative experience that boosts both your look and confidence.
The Procedure
Skin Tightening
The skin tightening procedure utilizes radio frequency (RF) treatment to stimulate the deep layers of the facial skin. During this non-surgical treatment, a handheld device is used to deliver radio waves to a wide range of skin colors and conditions. The RF energy helps firm the skin by stimulating collagen synthesis in the deeper layers and promoting a healing response in the cells. This helps to improve elasticity and reduce loose or sagging skin.
This helps to further enhance collagen production which firms the skin surface even more while also promoting natural production of elastin for long-lasting results. There are many treatment options available for those looking to achieve tighter, firmer facial skin with minimal downtime or risk of side effects. With an experienced plastic surgeon on board, you can rest assured that your desired results will be achieved safely and efficiently.

Precision Tx Laser
The Precision Tx Laser is a non-surgical procedure that innovatively tightens skin by delivering heat energy beneath the skin through small incisions and a fiber optic wire. Using a Nd:YAG 1440-nm laser, it targets the dermal layer directly, melting fat and enhancing skin firmness with minimal surface heat exposure for faster healing. This procedure is ideal for younger patients looking to postpone traditional facelifts, offering smoother, more youthful skin and improved elasticity in the face, neck, jawline, and chin. Administered in-office with local anesthesia, this non-surgical facelift yields ongoing improvements over months with a single session.
