Skin Tightening & Rejuvenation
Skin rejuvenation is a comprehensive approach to improving the overall quality and appearance of the skin. It involves addressing various issues such as correcting pigmentation issues, reducing redness and rosacea, combating dullness, evening out skin tone, addressing textural irregularities, improving skin laxity, and giving the skin a general sense of rejuvenation and vitality. Loose or sagging skin occurs when internal or external factors affect the key molecules that help keep the skin elastic, firm, and hydrated.

Skin rejuvenation treatments can range from topical skincare products and professional facials to more advanced procedures like chemical peels, Elite iQ or PICOSure laser therapy, and Potenza RF microneedling. By targeting these different concerns, skin rejuvenation aims to enhance the skin's health, radiance, and resilience, ultimately helping clients achieve a more youthful and refreshed complexion.
Skin Tightening is one of the most common requests in our clinic!
Loose or sagging skin occurs when internal or external factors affect the key molecules that help keep the skin elastic, firm, and hydrated.
Most people start to experience skin laxity, or loosening, between the ages of 35 and 40 years. Skin laxity that occurs with age is mostly due to a loss of collagen networks, elastin fibers, and hyaluronic acid — a molecule that helps the skin retain moisture.
Weight loss, especially significant or rapid weight loss, and pregnancy can also loosen the skin by stretching skin molecules or changing the structure of the skin.
Several other health and lifestyle factors can also contribute to loose skin, including:
- Menopause
- ultraviolet (UV) light damage
- artificial tanning
- certain medications, such as steroids and corticosteroids
- skin products or detergents that contain harsh chemicals
- smoking
- drinking alcohol
Firm skin can stretch and snap back into place easily. When skin loses this ability, it starts to sag. Saggy skin can happen almost anywhere on the body. Common areas where you might see saggy skin include:
- eyelids
- jowls
- chin
- throat
- upper arms
- stomach
Potenza takes RF microneedling to new levels. The versatility this system provides allows us to customize your treatments based on your specific needs – all skin types, anywhere on the body, any time of the year. The industry gold standard for skin tightening, toning, acne scarring improvement, surgical scar improvement, cystic acne treatment, mommy tummy makeover, underarm tightening, and improving the look of cellulite.
We offer a range of cutting-edge devices that are designed to address various aspects of skin rejuvenation.
The Potenza device utilizes radiofrequency technology to target skin laxity and stimulate collagen production, resulting in improved skin firmness and texture.
The PICOSure laser system is effective in treating pigmentation issues, such as sun damage, Melasma and age spots, by delivering ultra-short pulses of energy to break down unwanted pigments in the skin.
Our Elite iQ platform combines different laser wavelengths to target multiple skin concerns like redness, active acne, acne scarring, uneven tone, and fine lines, providing comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
By utilizing these advanced technologies, we can tailor skin rejuvenation treatments to meet the specific needs and goals of each individual, helping them achieve healthier, more radiant skin.
Tempsure Envi is a noninvasive radiofrequency treatment that can minimize fine lines and wrinkles, tighten skin, and improve the appearance of cellulite. The device uses radiofrequency waves to deliver heat deep into your skin, triggering collagen production that results in more firmness and fewer wrinkles. It’s safe for all skin tones, and there’s no downtime.
It works best as a series of treatments. Every patient will have a Custom Treatment Plan created by one of our Medical Aestheticians, but you can expect to need at least four Tempsure Envi sessions, two to four weeks apart. Treatments can last anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area.
Afterward, there are no visible side effects other than redness, which usually subsides quickly. Many of our New Light patients say they noticed some positive results, including tighter skin, after just one Tempsure Envi session.
Results of the procedure are noticeable and almost immediate for most patients, and they will continue to improve in the three weeks following treatment. Your results from Tempsure Envi and the collagen generated are lasting; however, they are still subject to the future effects of aging and gravity. In order to fend off new lines, wrinkles, and cellulite, we recommend getting touch-up sessions every 6 to 12 months.
After undergoing skin rejuvenation treatments with our advanced devices, it is essential to follow specific aftercare instructions to optimize results and promote healing. While each device may have unique post-treatment protocols, some general guidelines apply across the board. It is crucial to protect the treated skin from sun exposure by wearing sunscreen and avoiding direct sunlight. Keeping the skin well-hydrated with gentle moisturizers can help promote healing and prevent dryness. Patients may be advised to avoid harsh skincare products, exfoliants, or makeup for a certain period following treatment to allow the skin to recover fully. Depending on the device used, patients may also be instructed to apply soothing creams or serums, use cold compresses, or follow a specific skincare regimen tailored to their needs. Following these aftercare instructions diligently can help enhance the results of skin rejuvenation treatments and ensure a smooth recovery process.
Pre-treatment instructions for TempSure - Wrinkle treatment
- Remove all make-up, including eye makeup, lotion or sunblock and wash facial area prior to treatment. Any preparation left on the skin will act as impedance to the energy and will diminish the effects.
- Neurotoxins or fillers should be given post-treatment or a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the TempSure treatment.
- For 5 - 7 days prior to treatment, at the practitioners discretion, avoid therapies that may cause erythema (redness) or irritation such as Retin-A or products containing Isotretinoin, glycolic acid and or salicylic acid.
- The treatment area must be free of any open lesions or infections.
- For optimum treatment, hydrate by drinking plenty of water or hydrating fluids several days in advance. Avoid alcohol, if possible.
Post-treatment instructions for TempSure - Heating and cellulite treatment
Typically, clients may return to their normal activities after receiving a TempSure treatment. Please follow the medical advice of the practitioner regarding the care of your skin.
- Wash skin with tepid water and a gentle cleanser.
- If the skin is slightly pink or red in areas following the treatment, avoid hot water when washing or showering until after the erythema (redness) has subsided.
- Makeup, preferably mineral-based, may be applied immediately post treatment.
- Soothing creams or moisturizers may be used.
- Use sunblock with an SPF 30 or greater if going out into the sun to help prevent future sun damage. This treatment does not cause photosensitivity.
The practitioner will describe the nature and timing of skin improvement that may be noticed over time. IF there are any further questions or concerns, contact the treatment provider.
We often suggest pairing Grenzine product line from Vivier with the Tempsure Envi laser treatment.
GrenzCine, the first multi-layer & multi-function slow release anti-aging line resulting in beautiful, more luminous, plumper and healthier-looking skin.
The role of Polyamines and Vitamin C for the skin
Polyamines + Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid USP) are known to provide a boosting of the fibrillar collagen, healing and repairing (thickening) the skin from the “outside-in” while the Vitamin C works from the “inside-out” giving an unparalleled skin repair and collagen boosting effect.
