Skin Tightening Treatments
Nothing radiates vitality, health, and youthful attractiveness more than firm, taut, smooth skin. But as we age, our skin inevitably begins to loosen and sag. There’s no need to despair. Advanced medical technology has produced skin-tightening techniques that use radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic energy to restore and support younger-looking skin.
Our team members at The Aesthetic Plan are experts in administering the most innovative treatments. Under the direction of Dr. Ted Y. Fisher, The Aesthetic Plan has earned its reputation as Fullerton’s top luxury aesthetic medicine and surgery facility. Dr. Fisher invites you to schedule a consultation about the benefits of skin tightening treatments. At The Aesthetic Plan, we celebrate and practice the “virtuous cycle” that begins with health, which leads to beauty, which in turn leads back to health!
Skin tightening refers to non-surgical and minimally invasive surgical procedures developed to firm and smooth loose and sagging skin, resulting in a younger-looking appearance.
This innovative and safe concept uses low-frequency radio waves to generate heat. When transmitted into deep skin layers, this heat energy stimulates the production of new skin cells. It boosts levels of collagen and elastin, which together provide the foundation of firm, healthy skin.
Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening is often perfect for people who want dynamic results but don’t want the expenses, risks, discomfort, and downtime of cosmetic surgery. While more temporary in nature, RF skin tightening results rival those produced by a surgical facelift.
Skin tightening can:
Treatments are particularly effective for tightening saggy skin on the face, neck, arms, hands, and abdomen.
The procedure is quick, produces minimal discomfort and downtime, and no scarring or peeling.
At The Aesthetic Plan, we have invested heavily in a wide range of advanced RF treatment devices, each of which addresses particular needs and goals.
During your consultation, we’ll explain the strengths and features of each of these devices to match your needs. We offer a wide range of treatment technologies:
We also offer ThermiSmooth RF, which delivers impressive results on frown lines, double chins, and sagging facial and neck skin.
Your treatment is outpatient, meaning you can go home after your session. After cleaning and sterilizing your skin, your provider will move a hand-held radio frequency device over your treatment areas. You may feel some warmth and mild tingling, but typically nothing beyond that.
Some RF skin tightening devices deliver their electromagnetic energy through a small probe inserted just underneath the skin. Either way, the whole procedure generally takes an hour or less.
You’ll see some changes in your skin's appearance virtually right away. However, your skin will continue to get tighter for up to three months following your treatment.
Unless your treatment area is particularly large, you should be able to resume your normal activities in a day or less. You can wear makeup immediately after your treatment. Going forward, just practice good skin care, including the daily use of a high-quality sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher).
Most people require only one to three sessions, although in some cases, we may recommend an additional treatment to maximize your results.
Yes, that option is available. Some RF skin tightening can be combined with Botox, dermal fillers, and microneedling.
You’ll see a dramatic difference in your appearance within 72 hours.
Remember that your skin is constantly aging. But with diligent skin care, you can expect your results to last years.
About 200,000 Americans receive some type of skin tightening procedure each year.
The most likely risk of radiofrequency therapy for skin tightening is overexposure, which can result in a burn. Additional side effects may include treatment marks, dark spots, and redness.
