Skin Tightening

Loose, wrinkled skin on your face and body can age you prematurely. If you’re not ready for surgery, you can benefit from the skin-tightening services at Kessel Dermatology. The providers use nonsurgical Morpheus8 microneedling technology to stimulate new collagen growth, tighten your skin, and give it a more youthful glow. Call the offices servicing the Hamilton Square, Trenton, and Mercer County areas in New Jersey, to find out if skin tightening is right for you, or book a consultation online today.  

What is skin tightening?

Skin tightening is a treatment option to address sagging skin that occurs with aging.

As you age, your skin loses collagen and elastin, two essential proteins in healthy skin. The loss of collagen and elastin makes your skin less flexible and contributes to fine lines, wrinkles, and creases.

Kessel Dermatology offers nonsurgical skin tightening services in-office to rejuvenate your body’s natural collagen production. They use the Morpheus8 microneedling technology to address age-related skin laxity and give you a more youthful-looking appearance.

When should I consider skin tightening?

You should consider the benefits of noninvasive skin tightening if you’re unhappy with the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin but aren’t ready for surgery.

The Kessel Dermatology specialists can use the Morpheus8 technology to tighten skin in many areas of your body, including your:

• Neck
• Chest
• Knees
• Lower face
• Upper arms
• Inner and outer thighs

Morpheus8 can also be used to remodel fat cells and enhance the natural contours of your face and body.

What is involved in skin tightening?

Morpheus8 is a microneedling device that uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate new collagen growth. The technology creates microwounds on the surface of your skin to trigger your body’s natural healing response.

Kessel Dermatology providers can achieve more reliable results using Morpheus8 because the device penetrates deeper and delivers more radiofrequency energy into the tissues.

In addition to improving the tightness and firmness of your skin, the providers can use Morpheus8 technology to minimize the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks.

You might need several skin-tightening sessions to achieve your desired results. The Kessel Dermatology providers customize a treatment plan to your unique needs and determine how many Morpheus8 treatments you need to improve your overall aesthetic.

How long does it take to see skin tightening results?

You may not see immediate results from your skin tightening treatments because it takes time for new collagen to grow in the treatment area.

Many people begin to notice an improvement in the firmness of their skin within six weeks of treatment. However, it can take up to four months after your final treatment to see the full benefit of your treatment for the face and six months for body areas.
