Skin Tightening FAQs 

 Everyone experiences a time when they realize their skin looks dull, wrinkled, or otherwise different from what they want. Fortunately, there are many options to achieve the look that feels right, including skin tightening. Below, the team at Tulsa Hills Cosmetic and Laser Skin Center of Broken Arrow, Muskogee, and Tulsa, OK, answer some of the most common questions about this technique. 

What is skin tightening? 

 In short, it’s a non-surgical procedure that helps tighten loose or sagging skin. It can help with acne, too. While it’s often used on the face and around the eyes, it can also be used on the thighs and other areas of the body. 

What types of techniques are used? 

 There are many techniques available, but our team offers four highly effective techniques. 

• Laser tightening: This technique uses laser energy to promote the production of collagen in the target areas. 
• Micro-needling: Microneedling creates micro-injuries in the treatment site, which causes the body’s natural healing processes to take place. 
• Dermal fillers: These are injectables that fill in wrinkles to smooth out the skin. 
• Botox: Botox temporarily reduces facial muscle activity, which smooths away fine lines and wrinkles. 

How do I know which one is right for me? 

 Everyone has different needs, goals, and preferences. If you want to smooth out your skin but are unsure of how you should do it, our team is here to help. We can help you determine if tightening techniques are a good option, which one you should choose, and recommend other techniques to help achieve your goals. 

How long does it take to see results? 

 It depends on the type of technique used. Some provide results nearly immediately. Others work by stimulating natural healing processes, so they may take a little longer. However, most people see results within the first week and continue to see results for months. 

How long do the results last?

 This can vary, depending on the type of technique you choose, your general health, and how you care for your skin. In most cases, the results last for six months to a year.
