Harness the Power of Regeneration

What is skin tightening?

Our non-surgical skin tightening treatments use advanced technology to stimulate your skin's production of collagen and elastin, visibly improving skin tone and elasticity. As we age, collagen production slows, causing sagging skin, wrinkles, and uneven texture. Non-surgical procedures like radiofrequency energy microneedling, laser resurfacing, and regenerative growth factors work beneath the surface to tighten skin, improve elasticity, and restore a firmer, more youthful appearance.

At Clarity Acne & Aesthetics, we offer multiple treatment options, including RF microneedling for deep collagen remodeling, laser resurfacing for texture and tone improvement, and regenerative exosome or PRP therapy for enhanced healing and elasticity. Patients may opt to have one procedure or combine procedures for more dramatic results.

RF Microneedling (PiXel8-RF)

PiXel8-RF microneedling combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to deliver heat into the skin’s deeper layers, stimulating collagen production and firming sagging skin. This procedure is ideal for addressing laxity while minimizing fine lines, acne scars, and pigmentation. RF microneedling is a highly effective non-surgical skin tightening solution for those who want to avoid plastic surgery.

Laser Skin Resurfacing (CO2, Erbium YAG, Clear + Brilliant)

Laser skin resurfacing is a highly effective way to tighten skin and improve overall texture. CO2 laser resurfacing treats deeper layers, improving skin laxity and wrinkles. Erbium YAG is a gentler resurfacing option for fine lines and mild sagging skin. Our Clear + Brilliant laser uses multiple wavelengths to refresh the skin, improving tone and elasticity with little to no downtime.

Regenerative Aesthetics (Exosomes, PRP)

Exosomes and PRP use powerful regenerative growth factors to enhance skin-tightening treatments. Exosomes deliver more collagen stimulation and faster healing, while PRP (platelet-rich plasma) triggers collagen production using your body’s natural growth factors. When combined with RF treatments or laser therapy, these regenerative therapies accelerate recovery and enhance results for firmer, more youthful skin.

A Sculpted Silhouette Without Surgery

What is the skin tightening procedure like?

Every treatment begins with an in-depth consultation, where your provider learns about your goals, assesses potential treatment areas, and recommends the best approach for your unique needs. Before your skin tightening procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied for enhanced comfort.

The details of your treatment will depend on the method used:

  • RF Microneedling: A handheld device delivers RF energy through micro-needles, reaching deeper layers of the skin to trigger collagen production.
  • Laser Resurfacing: A fractional laser delivers heat to tighten loose skin and improve texture.
  • Exosomes/PRP: Applied post-treatment or administered via injections to enhance healing and collagen stimulation.

Most procedures take 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and method.

Skin Tightening Recovery

Recovery from non-surgical procedures is minimal, allowing you to resume most activities quickly.

What to expect:

  • RF Microneedling & PRP – Expect mild redness and swelling for 24–48 hours.
  • CO2 & Erbium YAG Laser Treatment – 3–7 days of peeling, redness, and sensitivity as skin heals.
  • Clear + Brilliant & Exosomes – Minimal downtime, mild redness fading within 24 hours.

To maximize results, avoid sun exposure, exfoliating treatments, and heavy makeup for a few days. Using broad-spectrum SPF helps maintain and extend results.

Skin Tightening Results

Results appear gradually as collagen and elastin production increases. Most patients see firmer, smoother skin within 4–6 weeks. As the skin continues to repair and rebuild itself over the next 3-6 months, fine lines are reduced for a smoother, more youthful appearance. For optimal results, multiple sessions may be recommended based on your goals and degree of skin laxity. With proper skin care, patients enjoy long-lasting improvement in the firmness, tone, and texture of their skin.
