What is skin tightening?

Skin tightening is a non-surgical treatment for facial wrinkles. The Transcend Total Body Rejuvenation team uses the Profound treatment from Candela®, which combines radiofrequency (RF) energy and microneedling to renew skin from within.

As the body ages, skin loses elasticity and becomes increasingly fragile because the body’s collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production slows. Collagen and elastin are proteins that keep tissues plump and taut; hyaluronic acid provides hydration.

With less collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in your skin and underlying tissues, lines, wrinkles, hollows, and drooping skin develop. Skin tightening treatment stimulates natural collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production, revitalizing the skin and building new, healthy tissue.

What happens during skin tightening treatment?

Before you have any aesthetic treatment, the Transcend Total Body Rejuvenation team performs a comprehensive evaluation to ensure you’re a suitable candidate. They review your medical history, assess your skin, and discuss your hopes and expectations.

When skin tightening treatment commences, your provider applies a local anesthetic to your skin and injects another to optimize your comfort. They adjust the Profound device’s settings to match your skin type exactly and achieve your desired outcomes.

The microneedles make minute holes in your skin, triggering tissue repair. RF energy boosts the microneedling’s effects, and you can also have platelet-rich plasma (PRP) applied to your skin for even better results. PRP is a natural healing substance derived from your blood.

After the skin tightening procedure finishes, your provider applies a soothing substance and goes over your aftercare instructions. Following the instructions is vital to maintain comfort, achieve the best results, and avoid complications. The entire process takes 1-1.5 hours.

When will I see the results of skin tightening?

Immediately after skin tightening treatment, there may be some swelling, particularly around the eyes and mouth. Your skin might be moist at first before forming crusts that shed after 3-5 days. Light flaking can continue for up to 10 days, and your skin might be pink for a few weeks.

Your skin looks tighter and smoother about seven days after skin tightening, but you won’t see the final results for 3-6 months. The delay is because it takes time for your body to generate new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
