Loose skin will eventually happen to everyone, sometimes due to age, weight gain, or too much sun exposure. At New Orleans Center for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, our team offers non-surgical skin tightening options that can help firm and smooth lax areas with minimal downtime. It’s important to start this treatment at the right time to preserve your skin quality and avoid more aggressive treatments later on.
Options Our Team Offers for Non-Surgical Skin Tightening
What non-surgical skin tightening options are available?
New Orleans Center for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery offers several skin tightening technologies to help achieve firmer-looking skin with minimal downtime. Some treatments are energy-based and external, while others are minimally invasive and treat deeper structures for more visible contour changes. The right option depends on whether you want collagen stimulation, contour improvement, or more advanced tightening without the commitment of a facelift.
Non-surgical skin tightening options our team may recommend include:
- Morpheus8, which combines microneedling with radiofrequency to tighten skin and improve texture
- FaceTite, a minimally invasive alternative for facial tightening that uses radiofrequency technology
- Embrace RF, which combines Morpheus8 and FaceTite in one approach and is often completed in an office visit
- BodyTite, which is designed to remove stubborn fat while lifting tissue to improve loose, sagging skin
These options give you flexibility based on where laxity is showing and how much tightening you need. Our team will help you choose a plan that fits your goals, comfort level, and downtime preferences.
Timing Your Treatments by Skin Changes, Not a Number
When is the best age to start non-surgical skin tightening?
There is no single “best age” because the right time depends on your skin quality and how quickly laxity is developing. Some start as soon as slight laxity is noticed to support collagen restoration. Others wait until laxity is more visible and choose a minimally invasive option to rejuvenate definition without surgery. The best approach is to start when you notice early changes and want a proactive plan, not when you feel like you are “behind.”
Our team often matches timing to the stage of skin change, such as:
- Starting earlier when you notice early laxity and want collagen support
- Choosing stronger tightening when jawline and neck definition have softened
- Planning post-weight loss tightening when the skin does not snap back
- Treating when results will matter most for your lifestyle and confidence
- Selecting a plan that fits your tolerance for downtime and recovery
Skin elasticity, sun exposure, genetics, and weight changes often matter more than the number of candles on the cake.
Smart Pairings That Build Better Tightening Plans
What non-surgical skin tightening procedures can be combined?
Combination treatment planning works well when you want both tightening and texture improvement, or when laxity shows up in more than one area. Our team may recommend combining technologies to treat different layers of tissue, especially when you want more visible contour change without surgery.
Common pairing strategies our team may discuss include:
- Embrace RF when you want a combined approach to the face, neck, and jawline
- Morpheus8 paired with other skin treatments when texture and laxity overlap
- FaceTite paired with complementary options when you want more definition support
- BodyTite used when fat reduction and tightening are both part of the concern
- Staged plans when combining in one visit is not the best fit
The goal is not to “stack” treatments. The goal is to pair options that treat different needs, so your final outcome looks cohesive and intentional.
Keeping Results Consistent with Touch-Ups and Maintenance
How often will touch up appointments be needed for non-surgical skin tightening?
Touch-up timing depends on which treatment you choose and how your skin responds. Some options are designed as a single-session approach for the right candidate, while others work best as a series with periodic maintenance. Our team will set clear expectations so you understand what your treatment will require and when to plan follow-ups.
Touch-up planning often depends on factors like:
- Whether your treatment is designed as one session or a series
- How quickly your skin produces collagen and firms after treatment
- How much sun exposure, weight fluctuation, or aging affects your skin
- Whether you are maintaining results or trying to build more tightening
- The area treated, since the neck and jawline may need different timing than the body
Maintenance is usually simpler than the initial plan. Once you reach your goal, touch-ups are typically scheduled to help you maintain steady results as your skin continues to change naturally.
