Skin Tightening

As we age, the natural production of collagen and elastin in the skin decreases, leading to sagging and the development of fine lines and wrinkles. Skin tightening treatments can help restore a youthful, firmer appearance by stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity. At Thomas Dermatology, we offer a variety of advanced, non-invasive skin tightening treatments designed to lift, firm, and rejuvenate your skin. These treatments provide effective results with little to no downtime.

What is Skin Tightening?
Skin tightening is a non-surgical procedure that uses advanced technology to target the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This process helps to improve the texture, tone, and overall appearance of the skin, leaving it smoother and more youthful. Skin tightening treatments can be performed on various areas of the face and body to address concerns such as loose skin, fine lines, and wrinkles.

How is Skin Laxity Treated?
We offer a range of treatments at Thomas Dermatology to help tighten and rejuvenate the skin. These treatments are safe, effective, and customizable to your specific needs:

MediRAF
MediRAF is a radiofrequency (RF) treatment that uses controlled energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This heat helps tighten and lift the skin, resulting in a more youthful, smoother appearance. MediRAF is ideal for targeting areas with mild to moderate skin laxity, such as the face, neck, and jawline. The treatment is non-invasive, comfortable, and requires no downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking non-surgical skin tightening.

MediShape
MediShape combines radiofrequency energy with mechanical massage to enhance skin tightening results. The treatment works by delivering RF energy to the deeper layers of the skin, while the massage component promotes lymphatic drainage and improves circulation. This combination of technologies helps tighten and smooth the skin, reduce the appearance of cellulite, and improve overall skin tone. MediShape can be used on the face, neck, and body, and is a great option for those looking to address skin laxity, fine lines, and uneven texture.

Pelleve
Pelleve is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production in the skin’s deeper layers. The heat generated by Pelleve helps to tighten the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Pelleve is particularly effective for areas of the face that show signs of aging, such as the forehead, under the eyes, and along the jawline. The treatment is comfortable, with no downtime, and results can be seen gradually over several weeks as collagen production is stimulated.

Dermal Biostimulators
In addition to traditional skin tightening treatments, dermal biostimulators such as Sculptra and hyperdilute Radiesse offer an innovative solution for long-term skin rejuvenation. These injectable treatments stimulate collagen production over time, providing a natural, gradual improvement in skin tone, volume, and elasticity.

Sculptra is a dermal biostimulator made from poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible substance that stimulates collagen production in the skin. It works gradually over time, helping to restore lost volume and improve the overall texture and firmness of the skin. Sculptra is often used to treat areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and temples, where volume loss and skin laxity can occur. The results from Sculptra develop over several weeks to months as collagen production increases, providing natural, long-lasting improvements in skin appearance.

Radiesse is a popular dermal filler that provides both immediate volume and long-term skin rejuvenation benefits. When diluted, Radiesse becomes a biostimulator, effectively stimulating collagen production over time while also addressing skin laxity. Hyperdilute Radiesse is commonly used to treat larger areas of the face and body, such as the neck, décolletage, and lower face. The treatment works by improving skin tone, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and restoring elasticity, making it a great option for patients seeking overall skin rejuvenation.
