Amazing Skin Tightening Treatments That Really Work!
As you age, it's natural for your skin to sag a bit. Unfortunately, this leads to a less youthful appearance.
The good news is you can give your face a lift and remove wrinkles without major surgery. You can have an enjoyable experience while nipping it in the bud!
Below are a few skin tightening treatments that actual work.

Ultrasonic Skin Scrubbing Therapy
(UltraSkinScrub or UltraGlide-mini)
-
Reduction of deep and elimination of small fine wrinkles
-
Deep pore cleaning, detox & lymph drainage
-
Dramatic tightening, lifting, toning, hydration and product penetration, especially jawline, eyes and neck.
-
Reduction or elimination of dark circle/puffiness under eyes.
-
Collagen production boost
-
Scar and acne improvement
-
Improved skin breathing
If you’re only dealing with mild skin sagging, dark circles or puffiness ultrasound therapy may prove to be the perfect solution. It’s a great choice for women over the age of 30 as prevention and who want to ‘age’ gracefully.
When performing this treatment, a handheld device is placed directly on the skin with a natural conductive gel and ‘scrubbed’ then smoothed over treatment areas. Ultrasonic has the ability to reach deep below the surface. Heat and waves remove debris, dead skin cells, dirt, then induce the production of more collagen, which helps greatly reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Cell turnover increases dramatically. Over time, expect your face to look younger and tighter. I really recommend the UltraSkinScrub for anyone (18-100) that wants a deep clean and is prone to large or clogged pores especially in the T-zone and nose.
For good reason, ultrasonic therapy has become quite popular in recent years. It’s especially effective at tightening the skin around your eyebrows and neck and maximizing penetration of serums. Because ultrasonic therapy is non-invasive and does not cause any downtime, clients don’t have to worry about missing time off from work. There are no needles or stitches involved. For a special event, its great pared with an OxygenBreath mini for an immediate glow and also an investment in age prevention.
Side effects are minimal. Although you may experience temporary redness and slight swelling, these symptoms should subside quickly. The entire procedure usually lasts between 45-60 minutes. While the results of ultrasonic therapy can last for an entire year, you will likely need a few and then maintenance occasionally. Although the cost of ultrasonic treatment may seem expensive at first, it’s quite affordable in comparison to facelift surgery.

Radio Frequency Therapy
-

Like ultrasonic therapy, radio frequency therapy is another safe way to tighten your facial skin. Better than laser (surface only) because it safely penetrates deep layers. This should appeal to women who want to avoid the risks that come with surgery. It’s been cleared by the FDA for more than 15 years and many high-profile celebrities rave about how well it works.
So, what exactly is radio frequency therapy? Similar to ultrasonic therapy, it triggers the growth of collagen (neocollagenisis) and cell turnover by sending heat deep beneath the skin. However, radio frequency energy is used to cause thermal damage which pushes collagen fibers tightly together. Soon after and with multiple treatments, your skin will gradually start to tighten and exhibit a younger glow. Redness around the face is the most common side effect, which should go away after 24 hours.
Although radio frequency therapy isn’t an invasive treatment, I still take the necessary steps to deter side effects. Before the treatment is performed, you can request a numbing cream applied to the skin to minimize any discomfort. A gel will be used as well, which helps the device to smoothly glide over the skin.
Radio frequency treatments are quick and easy. You can even get it done during your lunch break. The average session only takes around 45 minutes. Keep in mind that radio frequency skin tightening is not a quick fix. Clients need to receive about five-six treatments on average and then, 2-3 maintenance treatments yearly.
Radio frequency therapy is easier on the wallet than some other skin tightening treatments.
MicroNeedling Therapy
-
Addresses a variety of skin health improvement
-
Tighten, penetrate, encourage hair growth, repair, correct, chemical free.
-
Highly recommended in combination with radiofreqency (both pro device and at-home device for RF).
So….you begin to see more wrinkles, scarring, stretch marks, hair loss, lax-sagging skin, brows gone wrong, these issues can have an impact on the way you perceive and feel about yourself. One of the best proactive services I offer is Micro-Needling
Although micro-needling might sound scary to some people, it’s a minimally invasive treatment. Micro-needling involves pricking your face with hundreds of tiny pins. Because these needles only cause minor puncture wounds, you’ll barely even feel them. First a topical anesthetic is applied to your skin. When performing a micro-needling treatment, a pen-like tool is used. It’s evenly moved across the skin. Your body perceives an injury to the skin, this induces the release of collagen and elastin fibers, part of the body’s natural healing process. While the procedure itself only takes about 45-60 minutes to complete. The use of a topical anesthetic usually takes 20-30 minutes to take affect which allows for prep time.
After receiving micro-needling therapy, your body responds by increasing collagen and elastin production. This treatment definitely helps to counter the effects of aging. New, more vibrate skin gradually starts to emerge. Over time, you can look forward to seeing noticeably fewer wrinkles and more vibrant skin.
Micro-needling has definitely proved to be effective. According to a study, four micro-needling sessions can increase collagen production by 400 percent. You only need to receive one session per 1-2 month.
Micro-needling is generally safe for most people. Nevertheless, it’s not advisable for pregnant women. You should also avoid micro-needling when using certain acne products.
* Micro-needling is also effective in breaking up pigment in eyebrows when an old tattoo is fading or is incorrect in shape. This allows placement of more natural looking strokes, for a great look .
