Non-surgical skin tightening treatments offer an effective, non-invasive solution for tightening loose skin, enhancing firmness, and improving texture. These treatments can help restore a more youthful and lifted appearance without the need for surgery.
At Metropolis Dermatology in Pasadena, CA, we offer Genius RF Microneedling, an advanced procedure that combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to target deeper layers of the skin. This powerful treatment stimulates collagen production, rejuvenates skin elasticity, and improves tone, leaving your skin looking smooth and radiant.
What is Skin Tightening?
Skin tightening is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance skin firmness and smoothness by stimulating natural collagen production. At Metropolis Dermatology in Pasadena, we specialize in Genius RF Microneedling, which uses radiofrequency energy combined with microneedling to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin. This innovative approach targets collagen and elastin, resulting in firmer, smoother skin.
This treatment is ideal for addressing:
- Mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, and body
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loose skin around the neck and jawline
- Uneven skin texture and tone
How Does RF Microneedling Work For Skin Tightening
Preparation & Numbing
Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure that you remain comfortable throughout the treatment.
Precision Genius RF Microneedling Application
During the treatment, the Genius RF Microneedling device uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy. This energy penetrates deep into the dermis, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin.
Collagen Remodeling
As the skin heals, the body’s natural processes rebuild collagen, which firms and smooths the skin’s texture over time.
Gradual Tightening & Lifting
Over the following months, as collagen continues to develop, patients begin to see a noticeable improvement in skin elasticity, a lifted appearance, and diminished fine lines.

FAQs
How should I prepare for my skin tightening treatment?
To prepare for your skin tightening treatment, avoid using any topical retinoids or exfoliating products for at least 3-5 days before your session. This ensures your skin is not irritated and can respond well to the treatment. It’s also important to stay hydrated and avoid excessive sun exposure before your appointment to minimize the risk of irritation.
What should I expect immediately after my skin tightening treatment with RF Microneedling?
After your skin tightening treatment with RF Microneedling, you may experience some redness or mild swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects usually subside within 24-48 hours. You may also notice small pinpoint scabs where the microneedling occurred, but this is a normal part of the healing process and will heal within a few days.
Are there any specific post-care instructions after RF Microneedling?
Yes, after your skin tightening session with RF Microneedling, follow these steps for optimal recovery:
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from the sun for at least a week after treatment to prevent hyperpigmentation.
- Use Gentle Skincare Products: Avoid harsh products that can irritate the skin. Stick to mild, hydrating cleansers and moisturizers.
- No Makeup for 24 Hours: It’s best to avoid applying makeup immediately after treatment to allow the skin to heal properly.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to promote skin healing and hydration.
How long will it take to see results from skin tightening with RF Microneedling?
The effects of skin tightening with RF Microneedling are gradual. While some patients notice improvements within a few weeks, full results typically develop over the course of three to six months as collagen continues to rebuild. The treatment works over time, so the longer you allow your skin to heal and regenerate, the better the results.
Can skin tightening with RF Microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes, skin tightening with RF Microneedling can be combined with other treatments like dermal fillers, Botox®, or chemical peels for a comprehensive rejuvenation plan. If you’re looking for a more personalized treatment approach, our experts at Metropolis Dermatology in Pasadena can help you design a combination plan that best suits your needs.
