In general, non-surgical skin tightening procedures work by using targeted 
energy to heat deeper layers of skin, which stimulates collagen and elastin production and gradually improves skin tone and texture. Some treatments also affect fibrous tissue to help smooth cellulite. There are numerous FDA cleared skin tightening treatments and technologies on the market; each uses a unique mechanism to achieve the desired result.

Why consider non-surgical skin tightening?
As we age, production of collagen and elastin—two proteins that help our skin stay plump, firm and smooth—slows down, resulting in areas of lax, sagging skin on the face, neck and body. After having children, aging, losing a substantial amount of weight the elastin fibers in the skin dont allow for the same retraction on its own. If you are bothered by skin laxity, non-surgical skin tightening can help restore a firmer, smoother, more youthful appearance with little to no downtime.
