Skin Tightening

We have 2 proteins that help our skin stay full, firm, and smooth, collagen and elastin. As we age, the production slows, causing sagging, laxed skin. Skin tightening temporarily halts this process and restores a more youthful appearance with little to no downtime. A non-surgical procedure that uses targeted energy to heat deep layers of the skin which stimulates collagen and elastin production, gradually improving skin tone and texture. Skin tightening can also help fibrous tissue to smooth cellulite. Our kin tightening treatments use focused ultrasound energy, heating skin at specific depths (up to 5mm deep) and locations. This promotes collagen production, helping skin become firmer. Treatments are delivered with a handheld device, which transmits the ultrasound waves through the skin’s surface. Ultrasound technology has been used in medicine for many decades and is known for its safety. Older patients wanting a mini facelift without surgery and younger patients wanting to maintain their skin and prevent skin laxity during the aging process will find this quite effective.
