Lift, Firm, and Rejuvenate Without Surgery.

Experience Expert Skin Tightening at Ciaravino Total Beauty

Youthful skin isn’t just about softness and radiance—it’s also about structure. As collagen and elastin decline with age, the skin begins to loosen and lose its natural lift. Under the direction of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kriti Mohan, our expert team uses scientifically backed, non-invasive treatments to restore your skin’s firmness.

What Is Skin Tightening?

Skin tightening refers to a collection of non-surgical procedures that stimulate collagen production, remodel skin tissue, and restore elasticity.

Unlike surgical lifts, these treatments use energy-based devices or biostimulatory injectables to encourage the body’s natural regenerative process. The result? Firmer, smoother, and more resilient skin over time—without incisions or downtime.

Skintyte: Gentle Infrared Skin Tightening

Skintyte uses infrared light energy to gently heat the dermis, triggering collagen contraction and long-term remodeling. It’s ideal for treating mild to moderate skin laxity on the jawline, neck (“turkey neck”), cheeks, and even the body.

Benefits include the following:

No downtime or discomfort
Suitable for all skin types
Perfect for patients looking to maintain firmness as they age
Often paired with BBL HERO™ for full-spectrum skin rejuvenation

Pixel8-RF: Microneedling Meets Radiofrequency

Pixel8-RF is a powerful combination of radiofrequency and microneedling, delivering heat deep into the dermis while creating micro-channels that stimulate collagen regeneration. It’s especially effective for:

Jowls, under-chin laxity, and loose neck skin
Acne scars, enlarged pores, and fine lines
Melanin-rich skin types with minimal risk of hyperpigmentation
Tightening crepey skin on the face or body with visible lift over time

Contour TRL / Laser Resurfacing: Soften Fine and Deep Lines

Contour TRL is a customizable ablative laser that resurfaces damaged skin and stimulates profound collagen renewal. It can improve texture, tone, and fine lines while also delivering a noticeable tightening effect—earning it the nickname “laser facelift.”

Benefits include:

Ideal for moderate to severe laxity
Smooths deep wrinkles and refines skin structure
One of the most comprehensive laser options available
Results continue to improve for months post-treatment

Sculptra®: Biostimulatory Firming from Within

Sculptra is an injectable collagen stimulator made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Rather than adding instant volume like traditional fillers, it gradually encourages your body to rebuild collagen, restoring internal structure and visible firmness.

Benefits include:

Best for cheeks, jawline, and temples
Results build gradually over 3–6 months
Enhances skin density and elasticity
Long-lasting, with results up to two years

Profractional: Collagen Support for Long-Term Skin Strength

Profractional is a fractional laser that targets tiny zones of the skin, leaving the surrounding tissue intact to speed up healing. It’s ideal for patients with mild to moderate tightening, improved texture, and pore refinement.

Benefits include:

Stimulates collagen and elastin production
Great for fine lines, rough texture, and early laxity
Minimal downtime with long-term benefits
Often used in maintenance plans to extend results of other treatments

Skin Tightening FAQs

At what age should I consider skin tightening treatments?

There’s no perfect age—skin quality matters most, not your birth year. Many patients begin preventative treatments in their 30s or early 40s, while others seek tightening in their 50s, 60s, or beyond to address visible laxity. We tailor every plan based on your unique skin behavior, not the calendar.

How do I know which skin tightening treatment is best for me?

That’s what we’re here for. During your consultation, we’ll assess skin laxity, tone, texture, and thickness and recommend the best option—or combination—for your goals. Whether you need subtle firming or deeper remodeling, we design a completely customized plan.

How long do results last?

It depends on the treatment and your skin’s natural aging process. Many tightening treatments offer results that last 12 to 24 months or more, especially with maintenance. Collagen-building injectables like Sculptra continue to improve skin for up to two years.

Can skin tightening treatments be used on the body, too?

Yes! We can treat crepey skin on the arms, knees, abdomen, thighs, and more. Devices like Skintyte and Pixel8-RF are versatile enough to tighten skin nearly anywhere collagen loss has occurred.

Is there any downtime with non-surgical skin tightening?

Most treatments involve little to no downtime. Depending on the modality, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity for 24–72 hours. We’ll guide you through gentle aftercare to support healing and optimize your results.

Can I combine skin tightening with other procedures?

Absolutely. Many patients pair skin tightening with laser treatments, BOTOX®, fillers, or PRP for a more comprehensive rejuvenation. We often create combination plans for those seeking both lift and glow.

How soon will I see results?

Some treatments—like Contour TRL or Pixel8-RF—offer visible improvement within a few weeks, while others (like Sculptra) build collagen gradually over 2–6 months. Most patients notice ongoing enhancement as collagen continues to remodel.

Are these treatments safe for melanin-rich skin tones?

Yes, at Ciaravino Total Beauty, we’re experienced in safely treating all Fitzpatrick skin types. We carefully select devices and settings like Pixel8-RF or Sculptra that are ideal for deeper skin tones and won’t trigger unwanted pigmentation.

What’s the difference between skin tightening and lifting?

Skin tightening focuses on firming and strengthening skin elasticity, while lifting refers to repositioning sagging tissue. Non-surgical tightening offers subtle lifting over time, but a surgical facelift may be the better option for more dramatic repositioning. We’ll help you determine the best path based on your needs.
