What Areas of the Body Can Benefit from Nonsurgical Skin Tightening?

If you're noticing that your skin has lost some of its elasticity with age, you're not alone. Many people experience sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines as their natural collagen and elastin supplies diminish. Fortunately, nonsurgical skin tightening treatments can help reverse these frustrating signs of aging. At Pure Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics in Orlando, FL, dermatologist and aesthetic specialist Dr. Debra L. Grayman offers a wide array of state-of-the-art nonsurgical skin tightening treatments to help rejuvenate and refresh your appearance.

Take a closer look here at some of the common treatment areas for nonsurgical skin tightening — including the jawline, abdomen, and buttocks — and find answers to popular questions about what to expect with nonsurgical skin tightening.

What is nonsurgical skin tightening?

As we age, our skin's ability to maintain its firmness and elasticity decreases due to declining collagen and elastin production. Nonsurgical skin tightening treatments work by stimulating your body's natural production of these essential proteins. These treatments use advanced energy-based technologies — like radiofrequency, lasers, or heat — to tighten and tone loose skin, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

With innovative devices like Alma Opus Plasma®, Alma Harmony® XL PRO, and Alma Hybrid®, Dr. Grayman and our dedicated aesthetic team can help you achieve exciting results without the need for invasive surgery.

How does nonsurgical skin tightening work?

During your RF or laser skin tightening session, the treatment area will first be cleaned thoroughly, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort. Using specialized handpieces, the respective energy type is delivered directly to the skin's deeper layers. This process generates heat, which stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin. Over time, these new supplies of collagen and elastin help to improve skin firmness and elasticity.

Sessions typically last between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated, and most patients can resume their daily activities almost immediately after their appointment. Patients start to notice gradual improvements as the skin regenerates in the weeks and months following treatment.

Where can I get nonsurgical skin tightening?

Nonsurgical skin tightening is a versatile procedure that can address mild to moderate skin laxity in various areas of the face and body. Some of the most common treatment areas for nonsurgical skin tightening include:

• Face
• Neck
• Jawline
• Abdomen
• Arms
• Thighs
• Buttocks

What are the benefits of nonsurgical skin tightening?

There are a number of reasons to consider nonsurgical skin tightening vs. surgery to tighten loose skin. Some of the most exciting benefits of laser and RF skin tightening without surgery include:

• Minimal downtime
• Quick treatment sessions
• Long-lasting results
• The ability to treat multiple areas simultaneously
• Safe and effective for different skin types and tones
• No incisions, sutures, or scarring

Still, it is important to understand that not everyone may qualify for nonsurgical skin tightening. In certain cases — like when someone has pronounced skin laxity or a large amount of hanging skin — surgical skin removal may be more appropriate. Prior to treatment, Dr. Grayman or one of our experienced aesthetic providers will conduct a thorough consultation and skin assessment to determine whether one of our modern skin tightening treatments may be appropriate and effective for you.
