There are a number of skin tightening treatments and technologies available to achieve the desired results; laser energy, radiofrequency energy, ultrasound energy, or a combination of the above. How do you know which is right for your skin?
Product Recommendation for Skin Tightening Treatments: Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex Technology®
Non-surgical skin tightening procedures work by using targeted energy to heat deeper layers of skin, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin, resulting in a gradual improvement in skin tone and texture.
There are several skin tightening treatments and technologies available to achieve the desired results: laser energy, radiofrequency energy, ultrasound energy, or a combination of the above. The number of treatments needed varies from device, energy source, location, and individual patient needs.
The following are a few of the most common skin concerns that skin tightening treatments can benefit:
Non-surgical skin tightening may be a great option for you if you have mild to moderate loose skin or excess skin on the face, neck, chest, arms, or abdomen. The downtime is shorter with non-invasive procedures, and while results can be seen with one treatment, multiple sessions are usually needed.
For those interested in a non-surgical procedure, we recommend using pre-treatment skincare to enhance results and minimize downtime. At ALASTIN, our professional procedure enhancement products are designed to support the process of restoring and rebuilding skin for faster healing time and optimized results.

Non-invasive facial skin tightening treatments do not require surgery and aim to achieve firmer skin for a more youthful appearance. We've outlined some of the most common procedures that utilize the following technologies: Ultrasound, Laser, Radiofrequency.
Ultrasound energy bypasses the uppermost skin layers to heat deeper tissue which induces collagen production to firm and tone the treatment area. One treatment is usually sufficient for mild to moderate skin laxity. However, some people need three or more face tightening sessions to achieve the desired goal.
Radiofrequency is a type of energy which is measured in “frequency,” or wavelengths per second. Like any form of energy, RF has the capacity to produce heat which can be used to trigger collagen production in skin. Radiofrequency energy focuses on collagen in the dermis to achieve a firmer, smoother appearance.
A third class of skin tightening treatments combine intense pulsed light (IPL) with radiofrequency energy (RF) to heat deeper layers of skin and induce the natural healing response, which in turn triggers collagen production. The addition of IPL allows a provider to treat skin at multiple levels and can help focus the RF energy for more effective treatment without surgery.
Although skin laxity is common with age, non-surgical skin tightening treatments can help stimulate elastin and collagen production for a healthier-looking, youthful appearance.

"I love using ALASTIN Skin Nectar both prior to laser procedures and after laser treatments to optimize the results of the laser treatments. The benefit of using Skin Nectar prior to laser treatments is that it prepares the skin for the collagen and elastin remodeling that occurs after the laser procedures. I always apply it immediately after the procedure to help alleviate the initial burning or heat sensation that occurs. Then, I encourage my patients to use it for 2 weeks after the laser treatments in order to minimize the redness, decrease the downtime, and also enhance the results. I personally use the product and believe in the real science behind it."

“ALASTIN Regenerating Skin Nectar is one of the best-selling products in my office. It not only works to enhance post-treatment recovery (such as non-ablative laser treatments) but patients fall in love with it once they feel it and want to continue using it even after recovery. I recommend it also for rejuvenation, along with its sister product ALASTIN Restorative Skin Complex.”
