Skin Tightening Options in Roseville, CA
At Granite Bay Dermatology & Laser Center, we currently offer the following effective skin tightening treatments.
Evoke
Non-invasive Evoke is a facial contouring treatment that remodels and firms tissues around the cheeks, chin, jawline, and neck. Evoke uses radiofrequency (RF) technology to deliver hands-free thermal energy to the skin’s deeper layers. Innovative Evoke treatments are safe and effective on all skin types without downtime.
The Evoke system is designed to specifically target delicate areas to help redefine the features to help patients achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
FaceTite®
FaceTite® provides an ideal solution for patients who aren’t yet ready for or are unable to have surgical facial rejuvenation. With minimal downtime, FaceTite® uses radiofrequency (RF) technology to provide effective results in facial areas including the brows, forehead, nasolabial folds, cheeks, jowls, jawline, and neck.
FaceTite® treatments are performed under local anesthetic. A handheld applicator delivers RF energy into the skin by creating micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production to create a smoother, more even complexion.
FaceTite® procedures last approximately 40 minutes. Patients may feel and see immediate improvements to their appearance with full results visible in three to eight weeks following treatment.
BodyTite®
BodyTite® is a skin tightening treatment designed to also contour fat without the lengthy recovery of surgical procedures. By using radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis, BodyTite® aims to liquefy fat for easier removal as it tightens skin in the treated areas.
Minimally invasive BodyTite® treatments require only small incisions to insert the device into the treatment area. One probe of the device works inside the incision while the other glides along the skin’s surface, applying thermal energy beneath and above the skin. Sessions typically last 30 to 45 minutes per area.
Following a BodyTite® procedure, patients can expect soreness and mild bruising around the incisions; however, these effects should resolve within a few days. Initial results are typically noticeable within two to three weeks; full results are visible in three to six months following the last treatment.
AccuTite®
Like FaceTite® and BodyTite®, AccuTite is designed to specifically tighten skin and reduce fat in small, delicate areas. Minimally invasive AccuTite® addresses concerns like loose, sagging skin around the eyelids. AccuTite® uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to improve skin laxity and tone. By using RF-assisted lipolysis, AccuTite® can also reduce fat to further enhance contours.
We typically perform AccuTite® treatments using a local anesthetic. During the treatment, a handheld cannula applicator delivers RF energy into the fat in the targeted area. The AccuTite® system effectively heats the fat while maintaining a safe, comfortable temperature on the skin’s surface. Liquefied fat is then removed with microcannulas to contour the face and other small areas.
AccuTite® procedures typically last approximately 30 minutes, depending on the targeted areas. Patients can resume most normal activities in two to three days. On average, most patients experience AccuTite® results that are noticeable after six weeks. Results can continue improving for up to a year and typically last up to five years.
Morpheus8®
Morpheus8® skin tightening treatments combine radiofrequency (RF) technology and microneedling to reach the skin’s deeper layers. Minimally invasive Morpheus8® uses thermal energy to tighten skin, reduce fat, and stimulate collagen production across the body.
During a Morpheus8® skin tightening treatment, the handheld device is guided along the targeted area. Microneedles deliver RF energy deeply into the skin for collagen stimulation. Most Morpheus8® procedures take 30 to 60 minutes with no downtime, depending on the treatment area.
Morpheus8® patients may experience slightly swollen or pink skin for a few days. However, it is recommended that patients avoid strenuous activities for 24 to 48 hours and limit sun exposure for a few weeks.
While initial Morpheus8® results are visible immediately after the procedure, full results may take three to four weeks. Most patients experience healthier, firmer, and more even skin tone and find the best results after a series of three to five treatments scheduled four to six weeks apart.
Ultherapy®
Ultherapy® is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment designed to lift and tighten skin on the face, neck, chin, and brow, and diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the face and chest. With no downtime, Ultherapy® uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production and restore tighter, more contoured skin from forehead to décolletage.
Ultherapy® is a safe, non-surgical method to stimulate the body’s regenerative responses. After an Ultherapy® treatment, most patients will see an initial tightening; however, over the next two to three months, the body will keep producing collagen for continued skin improvement.
Individual response to the Ultherapy® treatment, the natural aging process, and lifestyle choices will dictate the longevity of the results. Typically, most patients experience Ultherapy® results that last for up to five years.
Thermage®
Non-invasive Thermage® treatments use radiofrequency (RF) technology to deliver heat within the dermis while keeping the superficial skin layers cool and comfortable. Thermage® helps tighten skin across the body by stimulating collagen production. It is also designed to recontour the body by reducing the appearance of fat and cellulite in as little as one treatment.
Depending on the targeted areas, Thermage® sessions can take 30 minutes to two hours.
Many patients see initial tightening results on the same day as a Thermage® procedure. Over the next two to six months, the skin’s appearance gradually continues to improve due to increased collagen production. On average, patients experience Thermage® results that can last up to two years.
Sofwave™
Revolutionary new Sofwave™ collagen remodeling treatment safely uses ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production, tighten existing collagen, and improve skin’s overall appearance. With minimal downtime, non-invasive Sofwave™ is FDA-cleared to improve fine lines and wrinkles and lift the eyebrows, neck, and submental area with a single treatment that is safe for all skin types and colors as well as all facial areas.
With proprietary Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology, Sofwave™ uses ultrasound energy to target the mid-dermal tissue to remodel collagen while protecting the uppermost layer of the skin. Most patients experience significant improvement after one 45-minute Sofwave™ treatment to rejuvenate existing collagen and encourage new collagen production. Full results are typically visible approximately 12 weeks after Sofwave™ skin tightening treatments.
