Rejuvenate and Restore Your Skin’s Firmness
As we age, our skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin slows, leading to visible sagging skin, especially on the face and neck. At Blume Med Spa, our advanced skin tightening treatments offer effective, non-surgical solutions that restore firmness and lift without the downtime of cosmetic surgery. Our three top-tier treatments—CO2 Laser, PDO Threads, and Microneedling + LaseMD Ultra—work deep within the skin to trigger collagen production and deliver long-lasting, natural-looking results.
What is Skin Tightening Treatment?
A skin tightening procedure is a non-invasive or minimally invasive treatment designed to lift and firm areas of loose or sagging skin. These tightening treatments stimulate your body’s own healing response by reaching the deeper layers of the skin, encouraging it to stimulate collagen production. Unlike surgical skin tightening, these procedures offer a smoother recovery with fewer side effects and no general anesthesia.
Types of Skin Tightening Treatments
CO2 Laser (eCO2, eCO)
Our CO2 laser technology resurfaces the skin by delivering controlled thermal energy into its deeper layers, prompting rapid cellular renewal and long-term collagen stimulation. It is ideal for patients seeking intensive rejuvenation with lasting results.
Benefits include:
- Reduction of fine lines, deep wrinkles, and sunspots
- Improved tone and smoother skin texture
- Visible reduction in acne scars and sun damage
- Long-term results after just 1–2 sessions
Microneedling + LaseMD Ultra
This dual treatment uses a handheld device to perform microneedling, creating microchannels in the skin, followed by LaseMD Ultra, which delivers powerful laser energy. Together, they work to renew the skin’s surface and trigger collagen production in the deeper layers.
Benefits include:
- Firmer skin with refined texture and tone
- Minimizes fine lines, pore size, and pigmentation
- Enhances product absorption post-treatment
- Minimal downtime with only temporary redness or slight sensitivity
PDO Threads
PDO Threads are a revolutionary invasive skin tightening option that lifts the skin without the need for cosmetic surgery. These dissolvable threads are strategically inserted beneath the skin to provide instant lifting, while also encouraging new collagen production as they gradually dissolve.
Benefits include:
- Immediate lifting of the jawline, cheeks, and neck
- Gradual improvement in skin firmness and elasticity
- Minimal downtime with mild side effects like swelling or bruising
- Great for redefining facial contours in the face and neck
What Causes Skin to Lose Firmness?
- Aging: The skin’s production of collagen and elastin declines with age.
- Sun Damage: UV exposure weakens skin structure and accelerates laxity.
- Weight Loss: Rapid changes in weight can leave behind sagging skin.
- Genetics: Some people are naturally prone to early skin laxity.
- Lifestyle: Smoking, poor diet, and dehydration all weaken the skin’s resilience.
How to Prevent Skin Laxity
- Use Sunscreen Daily: Shield your skin from damaging UV rays
- Stay Hydrated: Keeps skin plump and elastic
- Incorporate Retinol & Peptides: Support collagen with proven skincare ingredients
- Eat Nutrient-Dense Foods: Antioxidants and protein support skin repair
- Exercise & Facial Movement: Help tone underlying muscles
- Avoid Smoking & Alcohol: Both contribute to collagen breakdown
Who Benefits Most from Skin Tightening?
Skin tightening treatments are ideal for individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity, especially in areas like the cheeks, jawline, neck, and around the eyes. If you’ve noticed your skin losing firmness or developing fine lines but aren’t ready for cosmetic surgery, these non-invasive options provide a safe and effective alternative. Whether you're in your 30s and seeking preventive care, or in your 50s or 60s aiming to restore youthful contours, CO2 Laser, PDO Threads, and Microneedling + LaseMD Ultra can be customized to meet your goals. Our expert team will assess your skin and lifestyle to recommend the treatment that offers the best results for your unique needs.
What to Expect from Skin Tightening Treatments
Before Treatment
You’ll begin with a personalized consultation to assess your skin type, concerns, and goals. Based on this, your provider will recommend the best option: CO2 Laser, PDO Threads, or Microneedling + LaseMD Ultra. You’ll also receive tailored pre-treatment instructions, such as avoiding sun exposure and certain skincare products.
During Treatment
- CO2 Laser: A topical anesthetic is applied before the laser delivers controlled energy to the skin’s deeper layers. You may feel warmth or a prickling sensation.
- PDO Threads: The treatment area is numbed, and thin, absorbable threads are inserted beneath the skin to lift and tighten. The process takes about 30–45 minutes.
- Microneedling + LaseMD Ultra: A handheld device creates microchannels in the skin, followed by laser energy delivery. This combination enhances product absorption and stimulates collagen renewal.
After Treatment
- CO2 Laser: Expect redness, swelling, and possible peeling for 5–7 days. Avoid direct sunlight and follow a gentle skincare regimen to support healing.
- PDO Threads: You may experience mild swelling or bruising for a few days, along with a “tight” feeling in the treated area—this is normal and temporary.
- Microneedling + LaseMD Ultra: Temporary redness and a sandpaper-like texture are common for 1–3 days. Most clients resume normal activities quickly.
- Results Timeline: While some results may be noticeable right away, the full effects develop over the next 2–3 months as collagen continues to rebuild in the treated areas.
- Maintenance: Depending on the treatment, we may recommend a touch-up session every 6–12 months to help maintain your smooth, lifted results.
