If loose, sagging, or crepey skin is affecting your confidence, skin tightening can help improve firmness and texture on your face and body. Advanced Aesthetics Lopez Plastic Surgery offers personalized options tailored to your unique concerns, anatomy, and goals.
Refine lax skin from your face to your body
Skin tightening uses nonsurgical or minimally invasive treatments to address loose, sagging, or crepey skin on the face and body. These treatments can stimulate collagen production, remodel tissue, and improve skin firmness. Depending on your degree of skin laxity and desired results, your provider may recommend Morpheus8 or a more aggressive approach. A personalized consultation helps determine which option best suits your anatomy, concerns, and goals.
Skin tightening treats:
- Loose or sagging skin
- Crepey skin
- Mild to moderate skin laxity
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loss of firmness and elasticity
- Uneven or rough skin texture
- Laxity along the jawline and neck
- Loose skin on areas of the body
How does Morpheus8 skin tightening work?
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with fractional radiofrequency (RF) energy to remodel tissue beneath the skin. Its microneedles penetrate to controlled depths and deliver RF energy directly into targeted dermal and subdermal tissue. Tissue resistance converts this energy into heat, creating precise zones of thermal coagulation that contract existing collagen fibers while leaving surrounding tissue available to support healing.
This controlled response activates fibroblasts and stimulates neocollagenesis and neoelastogenesis: the production of new collagen and elastin. As these structural proteins develop and tissue remodels over time, the skin may become firmer, smoother, and more resilient. Adjustable treatment depths and energy levels allow your provider to customize Morpheus8 for different areas of the face and body.
Benefits of Morpheus8 skin tightening:
- Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production
- Improves the appearance of loose or crepey skin
- Promotes firmer, smoother-looking skin
- Treats both facial and body concerns
- Requires no surgical incisions
- Involves less downtime than surgical procedures
- Improves skin texture while addressing laxity
- Produces gradual, natural-looking improvements
What if I need even more skin tightening?
Morpheus8 can be an ideal option for mild to moderate skin laxity, but nonsurgical treatments have limits. If you have more pronounced sagging or want a greater degree of correction, your treatment plan may include a more advanced option. Depending on your anatomy and goals, we may recommend FaceTite or facelift surgery.
FaceTite
FaceTite offers a more aggressive approach for facial and neck laxity. The treatment delivers radiofrequency energy beneath the skin to contract tissue and stimulate collagen remodeling. It may suit you if you want more correction than Morpheus8 can provide without undergoing traditional facelift surgery.
Facelift
For more advanced facial sagging and deeper tissue descent, facelift surgery can provide more comprehensive rejuvenation. Dr. Lopez repositions facial tissues to address concerns like jowls, lower-face laxity, and loss of jawline definition. He tailors each procedure to your anatomy and goals while emphasizing natural-looking facial refinement.
