Skin Tightening

What is skin tightening?

During non-surgical skin tightening at Selah MediSpa, your practitioner uses targeted radiofrequency energy to heat deep skin layers and stimulate collagen and elastin production. 

Collagen and elastin are structural proteins found in the dermal layer of your skin. These proteins are responsible for your skin’s youthful strength and elasticity. As you get older, your skin produces less collagen and elastin, which contributes to loose and saggy skin.  

With the handheld Viora skin-tightening tool, the aesthetic specialists at Selah MediSpa induce collagen and elastin production. This results in tighter, younger-looking skin without the downtime associated with surgical skin-tightening procedures.

What are the benefits of skin tightening?

Skin tightening at Selah MediSpa is a non-surgical treatment that can restore a more youthful appearance. When it comes to anti-aging, skin tightening offers many benefits, including:

• Tightening loose, saggy skin on the face and neck
• Smoothing out fine lines and creases
• Painless in-office treatments
• No need for downtime
• Suitable for all skin types
• Natural-looking results that last up to a year

Most importantly, skin tightening at Selah MediSpa is a non-surgical solution that gives you firmer, smoother, and younger-looking skin.  

What should I expect during treatment?

Prior to skin-tightening treatment, your Selah MediSpa provider reviews your medical history and examines your skin to determine if you’re a good candidate for the procedure. 

If so, they apply radiofrequency energy to the treatment area using a handheld device while you relax in a comfortable chair. You might feel a slight warming or cooling sensation against your skin.

The length of time your session lasts depends on the size of the treatment area.

What happens after non-surgical skin tightening?

After a skin-tightening procedure, you may experience swelling or redness at the treatment site, but this is temporary. Because there’s no downtime required after non-surgical skin tightening, you can resume a normal everyday routine right away.

You might want to avoid strenuous activities until the following day, however. Protect your skin from the sun using protective clothing or sunscreen.

Optimal skin-tightening results usually appear gradually over several months as your skin begins rebuilding collagen and elastin. Your Selah MediSpa practitioner may recommend a series of several treatments to help you achieve the most desirable outcome.
