Quick answer · What is Skin Tightening Treatment?
Non-surgical skin tightening uses controlled heat to firm loose skin. Focused ultrasound (HIFU, such as Ultherapy or Shurink Universe) reaches the deeper SMAS layer to lift, while radiofrequency (such as Thermage) heats the dermis to tighten and smooth. Sessions usually take 20–90 minutes, downtime is minimal, and results build over two to six months as new collagen forms. Many patients maintain them once a year.

How it works
Two kinds of heat, aimed at different layers
Focused ultrasound places tiny heat points deep in the tissue, down to the SMAS layer that a surgical facelift tightens, so it suits lifting the jawline, brow and neck. Radiofrequency spreads heat more evenly through the dermis, which suits crepey texture, fine lines and the delicate eye area. Your doctor often combines the two, or adds a skin booster, depending on what is causing the laxity.
-
Consultation & assessment
A doctor examines skin thickness, laxity and facial structure, then explains which device or combination suits you and why.
-
Tailored treatment
Numbing cream is applied if needed, then energy is delivered area by area at the planned depth and intensity.
-
Collagen builds
Some firmness is often visible the same day. The main tightening develops over two to six months.
Before & after
A crisper jawline and firmer skin
