Skin Skin Tightening

As the skin ages, it loses firmness and elasticity which can lead to sagging, fine lines and uneven texture. At Contour Clinics, our team of experienced doctors provide a complete range of non-surgical skin tightening options.

Patients seek skin tightening for many reasons. For some, it is part of maintaining confidence as the natural ageing process takes hold. Others consider treatment after rapid weight loss, pregnancy, or changes in lifestyle that leave the skin looser than they would like. Many patients simply want their outer appearance to better reflect the way they feel inside, choosing subtle improvements that help restore self-confidence.

Options include Morpheus8 radiofrequency micro needling, fractional CO₂ laser, PDO mono threads, collagen stimulating injectables and bioremodeller. Each treatment plan is tailored to your skin, lifestyle and goals. Our approach is about natural looking results that refresh rather than change your appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best non-surgical skin tightening treatment?

The best option depends on your skin type, degree of laxity, goals of treatment and tolerance for downtime. Your doctor will recommend the most suitable approach at your complimentary consultation.

Can saggy skin tighten back up?

Skin does not return to its original state on its own, but treatments that stimulate collagen can improve firmness in suitable candidates.

How long does skin tightening take to work?

Most treatments work gradually. Results usually develop over weeks to months as collagen remodels.

Does collagen help with loose skin?

Yes, collagen is the protein that provides structure and firmness. Treatments that encourage collagen production can improve laxity.

Can you tighten skin naturally?

Healthy habits support the skin, but noticeable tightening usually requires in-clinic treatment.

How to tighten skin after pregnancy or weight loss?

Patients often seek options such as RF microneedling, CO₂ laser and collagen stimulating treatments. Suitability is confirmed at your complimentary consultation.

Does RF skin tightening work?

Radiofrequency energy heats the deeper layers of skin and stimulates collagen, which can improve firmness over time.

How long do Morpheus8 results last?

Results vary but may last 12 to 18 months. Maintenance sessions are often recommended.

Is RF skin tightening painful?

A topical anaesthetic is applied to reduce discomfort. Most patients tolerate it well.

How many sessions of Morpheus8 will I need?

Most patients require two to three sessions as a treatment course. Of course individual results vary and the number of sessions recommended for your unique circumstances will be discussed at your complimentary consultation.

RF vs CO₂ laser, which is better?

It is often not a question of which is better, rather which one suits your specific combination of baseline skin characteristics, goals of treatment, and tolerance of downtime.

RF has less downtime and is typically acceptable for a wider variety of skin types. CO₂ may deliver more dramatic results for advanced laxity or sun damage. Individual results vary.

Does CO₂ laser tighten skin?

Yes, to varying degrees, CO₂ resurfacing causes skin contraction, stimulates collagen and resurfaces the skin.

How long is downtime after CO₂ laser?

Downtime is usually between five and ten days depending on the depth of treatment.

How many CO₂ sessions will I need?

Some patients see results after one session, while others benefit from a series.

Is CO₂ laser safe for all skin types?

Suitability depends on skin tone and type. This is assessed at consultation.

Do PDO threads tighten skin?

Yes, they stimulate collagen as they dissolve which may in suitable candidates improve skin firmness.

How long do PDO mono threads last?

Threads dissolve within a few months but the collagen they stimulate may last longer.

Is there downtime with PDO threads?

Swelling or bruising may occur for up to a week.

Do PDO threads replace surgery?

No, they are for mild to moderate laxity and do not replace surgical lifting.

Do collagen stimulating treatments tighten skin?

They stimulate collagen production which can gradually improve skin strength and elasticity.

How long does it take to see results from collagen stimulating skin tightening?

Results develop over several weeks and typically continue to improve for months.

See Collagen Stimulation for more information.

What are skin bioremodellers?

They are injectables that improve skin hydration, elasticity and firmness.

How are they different to volumising fillers?

They do not add volume but improve the quality of the skin itself.

How long do bioremodeller results last?

Results usually last several months, with maintenance recommended.

Do bioremodellers help with skin laxity?

Yes, patients often seek them for subtle improvements in firmness.
