Skin Tightening
Treatments
Smooth, firm and refresh your skin without major surgery
Rediscover firmer, smoother skin
As we age, collagen and elastin gradually decline, leading to fine lines, mild sagging and a tired appearance – even when you feel energetic and well.
Our non-surgical skin tightening treatments gently firm and lift the skin of the face, neck and body with little to no downtime. Using advanced, clinic-grade technology, we stimulate your body’s own collagen production to achieve a fresher, tighter appearance over the following weeks and months.
Which areas can be treated?
Skin tightening can be used on multiple areas, including:
- Face (cheeks, jawline, jowls)
- Neck and under-chin area
- Around the eyes (fine lines and crepey skin)
- Abdomen (post-pregnancy or after weight loss)
- Upper arms (“bingo wings”)
- Thighs and knees
At your consultation, we will assess your skin and advise which areas are most likely to respond well.
How do skin tightening treatments work?
We offer a range of non-surgical technologies that gently heat the deeper layers of the skin while keeping the surface comfortable and protected. This controlled energy:
- Stimulates new collagen and elastin
- Improves firmness and elasticity
- Softens fine lines and mild to moderate laxity
- Enhances skin texture over time
Different devices may use:
- Radiofrequency
- Ultrasound
- Laser-based technology
Your clinician will recommend the best option — or combination — based on your skin type and goals.
Who is skin tightening suitable for?
Skin tightening is ideal if you:
- Have mild to moderate sagging or dullness
- Prefer natural-looking improvement rather than dramatic change
- Want a non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime
- Are generally healthy with realistic expectations
If there is significant excess skin — for example after major weight loss or more advanced ageing — a surgical option (such as facelift, neck lift or body contouring) may be more appropriate. If so, we will explain this clearly and honestly.
Frequently Asked Questions
The number of sessions varies depending on the device used, your starting skin quality and the area being treated.
Most patients benefit from a course of 3–6 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart. Many also choose optional maintenance treatments once or twice per year to keep results looking their best.

You may notice a subtle tightening immediately, with fuller improvement appearing over 3–12 months.
Downtime is minimal — most people return to work or social activities straight away.
Results are long-lasting, but the natural ageing process continues; maintenance treatments can help prolong your outcome.
