Noninvasive Skin Tightening Treatments: Firm, Younger Skin Without a Facelift
Loose, sagging skin along the jawline, neck, arms and abdomen is one of the most common concerns as people age or lose weight. Many women and men want firmer, smoother skin but have no interest in expensive, painful facelift surgery that can require weeks of downtime.
Today’s skin tightening treatments use advanced radiofrequency and laser energy to firm loose skin without a facelift. Skin tightening treatments heat deeper layers of skin to contract existing collagen and trigger new collagen for firmer skin over time.
At Better U Medical Spa in the Teaneck, NJ area, we offer a full range of skin tightening treatments for the face and body. The skin tightening experts at Better U Medical Spa match each patient with the option that best fits the patient’s degree of laxity, goals and schedule.
Facial Skin Tightening Treatments
The face and neck often show the first signs of laxity, such as softening jowls, a less defined jawline and loose skin under the chin. Facial skin tightening treatments address these concerns with energy-based technology that firms the skin from within.
Facial skin tightening treatments range from noninvasive options with no downtime to minimally invasive options for more noticeable laxity. Because we offer several facial skin tightening treatments at Better U Medical Spa, every patient can find an approach that fits his or her needs.
Hollywood Laser
The Spectra Hollywood Laser is a gentle, noninvasive option for patients who want mild skin tightening and firming along with a brighter complexion. The Hollywood Laser uses very short laser pulses to warm the deeper layers of skin and stimulate collagen while also evening skin tone.
Hollywood Laser sessions are quick and comfortable with little to no downtime, which makes the Hollywood Laser an ideal starting point among skin tightening treatments for patients who want a subtle refresh. This is why the Hollywood Laser is a popular first step in skin tightening at Better U Medical Spa.
JuvaShape Skin Tightening
JuvaShape skin tightening uses radiofrequency energy to heat the tissue beneath the skin’s surface. The heat contracts collagen fibers and prompts new collagen over the following two to three months.
JuvaShape skin tightening can firm lax skin and soften fine lines on the face, neck and chest. JuvaShape requires no numbing and no downtime, and most patients benefit from a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart followed by periodic maintenance.
VShape Skin Tightening
VShape skin tightening uses two types of radiofrequency energy, one that works near the surface and one that reaches deeper layers of tissue. Treating multiple depths at once allows VShape to tighten loose skin on the neck and jowls with a comfortable warmth.
VShape skin tightening is noninvasive, suitable for all skin tones and requires no downtime, so patients can return to work or social plans immediately. This makes VShape skin tightening an excellent choice for early jowling at Better U Medical Spa in the Teaneck, NJ area.
AccuTite / FaceTite Skin Tightening
AccuTite and FaceTite skin tightening are minimally invasive options for patients with moderate laxity who want more dramatic results than noninvasive skin tightening treatments provide. Both use radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis, in which a slim probe placed beneath the skin through a tiny opening delivers controlled heat.
FaceTite skin tightening addresses larger areas such as the jowls, jawline and neck, while AccuTite uses a smaller probe for precise areas around the mouth, under the eyes and along the brow. Both also melt small pockets of fat, so they can sharpen the jawline and smooth a double chin at the same time.
AccuTite and FaceTite are performed under local anesthesia in a single session, and most patients return to normal activities within a few days. The skin tightening experts at Better U Medical Spa evaluate each patient’s anatomy to determine whether AccuTite or FaceTite will provide the best results.
Body Skin Tightening Treatments
Loose skin on the body often develops after pregnancy, weight loss or with age, especially on the abdomen, arms, thighs and knees. Diet and exercise reduce fat but do not tighten lax skin, which is why many patients turn to body skin tightening treatments.
Body skin tightening treatments offer a minimally invasive alternative to a tummy tuck or arm lift for patients with mild to moderate laxity. Body skin tightening treatments at Better U Medical Spa firm and contour the body through tiny openings with short recovery times.
BodyTite Skin Tightening
BodyTite skin tightening uses the same radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis technology as FaceTite. BodyTite gently melts and removes unwanted fat while heating the tissue beneath the skin, which contracts the skin and stimulates new collagen in a single session.
BodyTite skin tightening is ideal for the abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs, back and bra line. BodyTite is performed under local anesthesia, patients wear a compression garment for a short time afterward, and results continue to improve for several months as new collagen develops.
AccuTite Skin Tightening
AccuTite skin tightening works beautifully on the body as well as the face. The small AccuTite probe is well suited to precise body areas with modest laxity or fat, such as the knees, inner thighs, upper arms and small areas of the abdomen.
Body AccuTite skin tightening offers the same benefits as facial AccuTite, including tiny openings, local anesthesia and a quick recovery. AccuTite can also be paired with BodyTite to refine smaller areas after larger body skin tightening treatments at Better U Medical Spa.
Which Skin Tightening Treatment is Best for Me?
The best skin tightening treatment depends on the degree of skin laxity, the area being treated, the amount of excess fat and the downtime the patient prefers. Patients with mild laxity often see beautiful results from noninvasive skin tightening treatments such as the Hollywood Laser, JuvaShape and VShape, while patients with moderate laxity usually benefit most from AccuTite, FaceTite or BodyTite.
Many patients also combine skin tightening treatments for the most complete result, such as FaceTite for the jawline followed by JuvaShape maintenance sessions. For very significant laxity, the skin tightening experts at Better U Medical Spa explain every option clearly so each patient can choose with confidence.
Skin tightening treatments are fully customized for every patient at Better U Medical Spa in the Teaneck, NJ area. After examining the skin and discussing each patient’s goals, we recommend the skin tightening treatments that will deliver firm, smooth and natural-looking results.
