Tissue Tightening

Tissue tightening is a painless, non-invasive procedure aimed at tightening and/or lifting sagging, wrinkled skin with no downtime. The treatment uses medium to deep heating of the skin to produce immediate tissue tightening and collagen contraction, followed by continued collagen production over a 6 month period. The treatment tightens sagging skin and smooths fine lines and wrinkles.

A combination of tissue tightening and laser rejuvenation therapies is ideal for anyone who is contemplating a surgical procedure but doesn't want the complications, downtime or expense associated with surgery.

Procedure

The procedure takes about 1 hour, but could vary depending on the size of the area treated. Several treatments are recommended to achieve the final result as it takes time to build new collagen. A series of treatments generally at 4-6 week intervals will deliver the best result of smoother, tighter skin.

Benefits

The benefits of tissue tightening are enhanced when paired with a skin resurfacing treatment, resulting in a total non-surgical restoration. Resurfacing is performed at Trillium Creek with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment and/or Sciton® ProFractional™ Laser treatment to erase superficial wrinkling, brown spots, rough skin, enlarged pores, acne scarring and other irregularities of the skin.

A combination of tissue tightening and laser rejuvenation therapies is ideal for anyone who is contemplating a surgical procedure but doesnt want the complications, downtime or expense associated with surgery. Tissue tightening and laser rejuvenation combined cost about one-third of a surgical procedure.
