elos Skin Tightening (ST)
elos Skin Tightening uses radio frequency energy to gently heat deep skin layers. It is a medically proven solution for tightening lax skin. elos Skin Tightening is a complete anti-aging solution for targeting those telltale signs of aging, including, jowl and neck laxity, sagginess under the eyes, saggy brow lines, and nasolabial folds.
Unlike conventional laser skin tightening treatments that are time and treatment intensive, and often too painful for many patients; elos Skin Tightening offers virtually painless and fast treatment for sagging and wrinkled skin.
This treatment heats the deep dermis of the skin to cause the body's own collagen contraction while preserving the upper epidermis of the skin through continuous cooling of the handpiece. Fine wrinkles are reduced, noticeable lifting can be observed on sagging skin and the texture of your skin becomes smoother, more luminous and toned
This treatment can stimulate long-term collagen rebuilding that leaves patients with younger, tighter looking skin. The initial treatment produces visible results and these improvements continue up to six months after the last treatment.
What areas can be treated?
elos Skin Tightening can treat lax and sagging skin on the face and body
- lower face and neck along
- jaw line and under the chin
- abdomen
- back of the upper arm
- thighs
Who can be treated?
Male, female of any skin type and age can be treated. Your SKYN therapist will advise you if the treatment is suitable for you at your initial consultation.
What happens after the treatment? Are there any side effects?
Immediately after the treatment your skin may feel tight due to the immediate collagen contracture and there may be slight pinkness, as though you have just completed a workout. This will dissipate in an hour or so.
How many treatments of elos Skin Tightening will I need?
The procedure is typically performed in a series of five treatments, spaced two to three weeks apart. New collagen growth typically takes 90-180 days from the first treatment, so a patient will generally begin to see improvement by the third treatment. With time, the treatments will result in a fresh, new layer of the patient's natural collagen. After the initial series, patients may want to have a "tune-up" once a year, and eventually have another series of treatments in three to five years when lifestyle, gravity, time and the elements take their effect. Any part of the body (abdomen, inner thigh, elbows, knees, etc.) may be treated.
Do I have to have my whole face treated?
A full face treatment is necessary for the best results, as this gives an overall lift to the whole face. However, SKYN offers a la carte treatments for forehead lines, nasal labial fold smile lines, jowls and lax skin around the jaw line and neck.
Am I a good candidate for Laser Tightening?
The best course of action is to stop by SKYN for a free consultation.

Some patients may have excessive sagging or under eye bags that require a more aggressive treatment, such as plastic surgery, to achieve the desired result.
