Skin Tightening Treatment
Price: ₹ 2500 /- Duration: 2 Hrs (Approx.)
Skin tightening treatments aim to firm and lift loose or sagging skin, often by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. These procedures can be surgical, but there are many non-surgical options available today with minimal downtime and risk.
Non-surgical skin tightening treatments
Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening
What it is: This procedure uses low-frequency electromagnetic waves to generate heat in the deep layers of the skin (dermis), which stimulates collagen and elastin production.
Good for: Mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, and body.
What to expect: The hand-held device delivers a warm, tingling sensation. Minimal discomfort is common during and immediately after the procedure. Results are gradual, appearing over two to six months, with effects potentially lasting for years with proper skincare.
Example: The Thermage procedure uses RF technology to stimulate collagen, resulting in smoother, tighter skin.
Microneedling with RF
What it is: This combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy. Tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, while the tips simultaneously deliver RF waves deep into the dermis. This dual action significantly boosts collagen and elastin production.
Good for: Acne scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, and general skin texture.
What to expect: A topical anesthetic is applied before treatment to minimize discomfort. Some redness and swelling are normal for a few days. Results are visible over several months, and a series of sessions is often recommended for optimal results.
Ultrasound skin tightening
What it is: This technique uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to target the deeper foundational layers of the skin, including the SMAS layer (the same one treated in a surgical facelift). This controlled heat triggers the body's natural regenerative response to produce new collagen.
Good for: Lifting and tightening sagging skin on the face, neck, and brow.
What to expect: Most patients report mild warmth or tingling during the procedure. A single session may provide good results, which develop gradually over a few months and can last a year or more.
Example: Ultherapy is a well-known brand of ultrasound skin tightening treatment.
