About SkIN TIGHTENING
As you begin to age, your body can start to lose collagen and elasticity, causing your skin to become thinner and looser with less resilience. To improve jowls, fine lines, wrinkles, deflated cheeks, and loose skin, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. George A. Toledo and his skilled team provide nonsurgical skin tightening. This nonsurgical skin tightening treatment uses light technology to stimulate the body’s natural healing process in order to restore collagen production. Nonsurgical skin tightening is specifically designed for smaller areas, such as the face and neck, but it can be used on all areas of the body and requires no downtime afterward, making it a quick and convenient procedure performed at Highland Park Plastic Surgery Center. Keep in mind that results are minor. For a more dramatic, long-term result, you may opt for a facelift. Contact our Dallas, TX facility to learn more and to schedule your initial consultation.

Ideal Candidates
Nonsurgical skin tightening is an ideal treatment for patients with:
- A desire for younger-looking skin
- Loose skin on the neck, face, or body
- Wrinkles and fine lines on the face
- A need for a procedure with no downtime
- A desire to avoid a more invasive surgical procedure
Procedure Technique
A nonsurgical skin tightening treatment is performed in one of our comfortable, spacious treatment rooms at our facility. The treatment area will be cleaned and prepped, and you will need to wear protective goggles to protect your eyes from the light. The handheld skin tightening device is then passed over your skin as it delivers light energy. The handpiece has a built-in contact cooling system to decrease any discomfort and protect the skin during the treatment, but you might experience a slight heating sensation. The procedure time will vary based on the size of the area being treated, but typically, the session lasts about 30 minutes.
What to Expect
Following a nonsurgical skin tightening treatment, you will be able to return to your normal daily routine. It is important that you wear sunscreen and limit sun exposure as your skin heals. You may be able to notice some differences in your skin, but optimal results typically take about 6 – 12 weeks to occur. For some patients, a series of treatments will yield the best outcome. During your consultation, Dr. Toledo and his team will create a treatment plan with the recommended number of sessions to create your ideal results.
Firm and Tighten
Without any necessary downtime or the worry of scarring that goes along with a surgical procedure, nonsurgical skin tightening may help you get the tighter and firmer skin you desire. Dr. George A. Toledo and his aesthetic team at Highland Park Plastic Surgery Center are proud to offer this innovative procedure option for Dallas, TX patients.
