Skin tightening includes popular treatment options that help achieve younger-looking skin without surgery or downtime. This technology gently heats the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin, the building blocks of firm, youthful skin. Your skin’s texture can be greatly improved with one of our popular skin tightening options – Ultherapy®, Morpheus8, and Vivace®.
Am I a candidate for a skin tightening treatment in Atlanta?
You could be a candidate for skin tightening if you have loose skin that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise. Treatment of lax abdominal skin can be part of a nonsurgical Mommy-makeover. Crepey skin of the arms and knee areas are a common complaint as we age. When you schedule your consultation, Dr. Elizabeth and her staff will go over all available treatment options in detail, assess your goals, and help you determine which is right for you.
There’s more than one option for non-surgical skin tightening!
At Atlanta Face & Body, we feature three very effective means of skin tightening treatments. Read on to learn more about these effective options or click the links for each treatment for even more in-depth information.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy stimulates collagen production by delivering focused ultrasound energy not only to the dermis of the skin but to the foundation layer (SMAS) underneath as well. This ultrasound energy triggers a natural response under the skin, jumpstarting the regenerative process that produces fresh, new collagen, which results in lifting and tightening of tissue. While Ultherapy won’t duplicate the results of a surgical facelift, it is a clinically proven, non-invasive alternative with no incisions or other disruptions to the skin. The ultrasound energy can be used on all skin types.
Morpheus8
Morphheus8 is a minimally invasive microneedling device that utilizes radiofrequency energy to revitalize the skin of the face and body. It’s the first and only FDA-cleared technology to provide deep subdermal adipose tissue remodeling. Basically, this fractional treatment penetrates the deeper layers of the skin and fat to boost collagen and elastin production to promote a smoother, more youthful appearance.
