Skin Tightening

Skin tightening is among our most popular and effective services at Renaissance Center for Plastic Surgery & Wellness. Whether you’re interested in tightening mild skin laxity after pregnancy and nursing or you’re dissatisfied with loose, crepey skin on the face and/or body, our Greensboro aesthetic practice offers a spectrum of the most cutting-edge non-surgical skin tightening technologies available, including effective treatments utilizing radiofrequency (RF) energy. At our board-certified plastic surgeon-led practice, Dr. Mary Ann Contogiannis is thrilled to provide North Carolina patients with a safe and welcoming environment to achieve their skin tightening goals.

What is Involved in Skin Tightening?

Skin tightening treatments at Renaissance Center for Plastic Surgery & Wellness are non- or minimally-invasive solutions for eliminating lines and wrinkles and improving skin laxity. We use advanced technologies like laser systems and radiofrequency (RF) energy to produce these results  in a non-surgical manner. Our skin tightening treatments include:

What are the Benefits of Non-Surgical Skin Tightening?

When performed under the supervision of a board-certified plastic surgeon in Greensboro, non-surgical skin tightening can tighten, smooth, and firm the skin without the usual inconveniences and expenses required by surgery. As a result, patients can achieve the smooth, youthful skin they desire without the need for extensive healing or a lengthy recovery period. Depending on your reasons for treatment, our safe and powerful aesthetic lasers can: 

  • Provide a firmer, smoother look in areas of crepey skin
  • Reduce laxity and improve skin tone
  • Give you sleeker contours in the face and body
  • Stimulate collagen production, allowing results to be long-lasting and improve over time
  • Resculpt areas affected by skin inelasticity

All in all, minimally invasive and non-invasive skin tightening can offer a myriad of benefits for skin firmness, tone, and elasticity. In cases wherein more immediate or extensive skin tightening is desired — such as after bariatric surgery or significant weight loss — Dr. Contogiannis may recommend body lifting procedures like an arm lift, tummy tuck, or thigh lift to more comprehensively remove hanging, excess skin. 

Am I A Good Candidate for Skin Tightening?

If you are looking for a way to achieve more youthful skin without the use of surgical techniques, you may be a good candidate for skin tightening. At Renaissance Center for Plastic Surgery & Wellness, we are proud to offer financing for the skin tightening treatments to make them a more affordable option for those who desire them.

How Does Skin Tightening Work?

Your skin tightening treatment experience will depend on the technique used. During your initial consultation, Dr. Contogiannis will assess your skin care needs in order to determine the best approach for your treatment. At this point, she will be able to tell you what you can expect from treatment. As non-surgical treatments, many of these techniques are comfortable and involve short treatment processes.

What Can I Expect During Recovery Following Skin Tightening Treatment?

After skin tightening, you may experience redness, sensitivity, or swelling in the treatment area. These symptoms typically fade within a few days or weeks, and will not prevent you from returning to work or other normal activities. During your initial consultation, Dr. Contogiannis will let you know what you can expect from your recovery process depending on your unique treatment plan.

What Results Can I Expect from My Skin Tightening Treatment?

The results from your skin tightening treatment will become increasingly visible over the weeks following treatment, as many of these techniques work by restoring collagen production in the skin. This is a gradual process that may not show results until a month or two following treatment. In some cases, patients may need multiple treatment sessions to achieve their desired results. Dr. Contogiannis will let you know what to expect in terms of your treatment plan during your initial consultation.
