What is Skin Tightening?
Skin tightening is a cosmetic procedure designed to firm and lift the skin by stimulating natural collagen production. At Metropolis Dermatology in Costa Mesa, we specialize in Genius RF Microneedling, a cutting-edge treatment that combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to target deep skin layers, remodeling collagen and elastin for firmer, smoother skin.
This treatment effectively addresses:
- Mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, and body
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loose skin on the neck and jawline
- Uneven skin texture and tone
How Does Skin Tightening Work?
- Preparation & Numbing: A topical anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.
- Precision RF Microneedling Application: The Genius RF device uses ultrafine needles to create micro-injuries while delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
- Collagen Remodeling: The body’s natural healing response is triggered, leading to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin over time.
- Gradual Tightening & Lifting: As collagen continues to develop, patients experience improved skin elasticity, a more lifted appearance, and reduced fine lines.
The treatment is minimally invasive, requires little downtime, and provides long-term skin rejuvenation benefits.
