Feel like time is leaving its mark a little more than you’d like? You’re not alone—and you’re in luck! While we can’t stop the clock, SkinDC can help you look and feel younger with a few quick, effective skin-tightening treatments. From non-invasive options like Ultherapy and Exilis to minimally invasive solutions like FaceTite and collagen-stimulating fillers, we’ve got something for everyone.
Microneedling
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing process to improve skin elasticity and firmness. This procedure uses tiny, controlled micro-injuries to promote the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins essential for youthful, tight skin.
Perfect for those looking to address fine lines, wrinkles, and mild skin laxity, microneedling offers a safe and effective solution with minimal downtime. Microneedling can be customized to suit various skin types and concerns, making it a versatile options for individuals seeking a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance.
Whether used alone or combined with Pure PDGF+, microneedling helps achieve smoother, firmer skin, restoring confidence and radiance!
Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten skin, improve texture, and redefine contours – all without surgery! This innovative device delivers RF energy deep into the skin through tiny needles, stimulating collagen and elastin production while remodeling underlying layers for long-lasting results.
Ideal for areas of the face and body, Morpheus8 can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, skin laxity, and even stubborn fat. Its customizable setting allows it to target individual concerns, making it suitable for all skin types and tones.
With minimal downtime and powerful results, Morpheus8 is becoming a favorite for those seeking a non-invasive approach to smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy is a popular choice for tightening loose skin on the face, arms, knees, upper eyelids, neck, and décolletage, and all without needles, incisions, or downtime. Instead, this non-invasive procedure uses focused ultrasound energy to target the deeper layers of your skin, where collagen is produced. By triggering your skin’s natural repair process, Ultherapy stimulates collagen production. This gradually firms and lifts the skin, creating natural-looking results that improve over time.
One of the reasons so many people turn to Ultherapy is how seamlessly it fits into daily life. Treatment is just a few hours, you don’t need a ride to and from, and there’s no recovery period, so you can go right back to your routine after treatment.
But convenience isn’t the only thing that makes it appealing—the results are what truly stand out. While you might notice a slight tightening effect early on, the most noticeable improvements show up over the next three to six months as your body continues to produce fresh collagen. Watching the transformation can be incredibly exciting, especially knowing the effects can last for two years or more!
Exilis
Another non-invasive, no-downtime-required skin tightening treatment at SkinDC is Exilis. Exilis penetrates deep into the skin to heat targeted areas of the skin to stimulate collagen production using a combination of radiofrequency and ultrasound energy. And don’t let “heat beneath the skin” scare you—while the heat works deep below the surface to tighten and firm, the device’s cooling system keeps the top layer of your skin protected and comfortable. For many, the treatment feels like a warm stone and with sessions lasting just 15 to 30 minutes, it’s a quick and relaxing way to improve skin laxity.
Another great feature of Exilis is how customizable it is. The energy levels and settings can be adjusted based on your unique needs, making it versatile enough to address a range of skin tightening concerns for all skin types and tones the following areas:
- Around the eyes
- Above, below, and at the corners of the mouth
- The chin and jawline
- Along the neck
- The décolleté area
Like Ultherapy, the results from Exilis take a little time as your body produces fresh collagen, with the best results typically appearing around the three-month mark. During this period, your skin will gradually become tighter and more refreshed—leaving you with a natural, glowing look that others will notice without ever guessing you had anything done.
FaceTite
If you’re not ready for surgery but still want more noticeable results than non-invasive options, FaceTite could be a perfect fit. This minimally invasive treatment uses radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) to tighten loose skin and sculpt areas like the jawline, neck, and lower face. The heat works below the surface to boost collagen production while melting small pockets of fat, leaving you with smoother, firmer skin and more defined contours.
Unlike Ultherapy and Exilis, your FaceTite treatment might require light sedation, so you might need a ride to and from the office—but the results are absolutely worth it. In just a few weeks, you’ll begin to see your skin becoming tighter and more defined, with the most noticeable changes showing around the 12-week mark as collagen production kicks into full gear. Best of all, these results are long-lasting, letting you feel confident in life’s most important moments for years to come.
Collagen-Stimulating Fillers: Sculptra & Radiesse
Collagen-stimulating dermal fillers are injectable skin-tightening treatment options. At SkinDC, we offer two skin tightening injections: Sculptra & Radiesse! Let’s check them out.
Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid filler that works by gradually rebuilding your skin’s collagen network. Instead of providing immediate volume, it focuses on long-term improvement. As your collagen is restored, your skin becomes firmer and fuller, helping reduce the appearance of wrinkles and folds over time. It’s ideal for patients who prefer subtle, natural-looking changes that develop gradually.
Radiesse, on the other hand, delivers both immediate and long-lasting results. It’s made with calcium-based microspheres that add instant volume while also stimulating collagen for ongoing benefits. Its scaffolding-like structure smooths out wrinkles, folds, and lines around the mouth and chin. Results can last up to 12-18 months, giving you smoother, more supported skin for the long haul.
Both fillers are excellent options for achieving firmer, more youthful skin with lasting results.
