Skin Tightening Treatment Maitland
Skin tightening treatments are designed to address laxity in the face and neck, helping to restore a firmer, more youthful appearance. While some techniques focus on enhancing skin texture, others target volume loss and underlying structural support. Every treatment plan is individually tailored, taking into account your skin type, collagen integrity, degree of laxity, and personal aesthetic goals.
Our Step-by-Step Approach to Skin Tightening
Step 1: Initial consultation to assess skin condition and collagen quality – The success of energy-based treatments depends heavily on the condition of your collagen.
- Sun-damaged collagen typically responds poorly and lacks elasticity.
- Healthy, robust collagen responds more effectively to laser and radiofrequency (RF) therapies.
Step 2: Evaluating Skin Laxity – We assess skin laxity in key areas such as: Cheeks, Jawline and around the mouth, Eyes and Neck
Step 3: Assessing Volume and Tissue Loss – We determine the extent of volume loss caused by: Collagen depletion, Fat pad reduction and Bone resorption. This helps guide the selection of appropriate treatments for restoration and firming.
Step 4: Developing a Personalised Treatment Plan – Your age, skin tone, ethnicity, and desired outcomes all play a role in crafting a treatment plan that improves skin firmness, contour, and overall texture.
Skin Tightening Treatment Options
1. Laser-Based Skin Tightening – The CO₂ laser is ideal for lighter skin types. This laser penetrates deeply into the dermis, stimulating collagen production and repairing sun-damaged skin. This is best suited for medium to deep levels of tightening.
2. Radiofrequency Microneedling (RF Microneedling) – This advanced treatment delivers controlled heat into various layers of the skin, encouraging collagen and elastin regeneration. This can be used as a standalone treatment or combined with fractional CO₂ lasers or biostimulatory injectables. This provides skin tightening with minimal discomfort and downtime.
3. Biostimulators (Collagen Stimulators) – These non-volumising products are designed to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production, improving firmness without adding volume. They are best for mild to moderate facial laxity, and are often paired with fractional laser treatments for enhanced outcomes.
Rejuran Polynucleotide Injections are a type of biostimulators. Rejuran is a superficial collagen stimulator, derived from salmon DNA (polynucleotides). It is used to improve: Skin quality, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, and superficial acne scars. Treatment typically requires 2–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Types of Skin Tightening by Depth
Superficial to Medium-Depth Tightening – Targets the epidermis and upper dermis, improving texture and fine lines.
Techniques include: Light resurfacing with low-power CO₂ lasers, Shallow RF Microneedling and Biostimulatory injections. This is best for individuals in their late 20s to early 40s, focusing on early signs of aging and skin quality enhancement.
Medium to Deep Skin Tightening – Targets deeper layers of skin including the dermis and hypodermis (fat layer), providing more significant firming and structure.
Techniques include: Fractional CO₂ lasers, RF Microneedling at different depths in the skin, and Biostimulants. These treatments offer moderate lifting, texture refinement, and mild volume restoration.
In summary, there is no universal solution for skin tightening. The most effective results are achieved through:
- A comprehensive skin assessment
- A multi-layered treatment approach (targeting surface, mid, and deep skin layers)
- Use of clinically proven technologies including lasers, radiofrequency, and biostimulators.
