Skin Tightening in Oakville, Ontario

What Is Non-Surgical Skin Tightening?

In addition to our surgical skin tightening options – which involve the use of radiofrequency (RF) energy to significantly boost collagen and contour several areas of the face and body – ICLS offers non-surgical skin tightening treatments. Free of harmful toxins and chemicals, these advanced options are designed to address skin laxity or loose skin on the face, eyes and body, lifting, toning and tightening the skin to improve its overall appearance (though individual results may vary).

These systems were designed to apply powerful heat energy to reach the subcutaneous tissue layer of the skin. We can use these advanced non-surgical solutions to prevent the development of age-related concerns, maintain the effects of surgery and deliver several additional benefits.

Which Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Treatments Are Available?

ICLS offers a few different approaches for non-surgical skin tightening, depending on the treatment area in question, your skin type and your desired results. Below, our team has provided an overview of our non-surgical skin tightening options:

Thermage®

Thermage® is a non-invasive treatment that uses RF energy to heat the deep layers of the skin.* While Thermage® can be used on multiple areas of the body, we have generally found that it works most effectively on the face and overtop the eyes, frequently providing a moderate to significant reduction of wrinkles, fine lines and loose skin.

Profound®

Profound® is another highly sought-after system that combines RF with macroneedling. By simultaneously perforating the skin with micro-injuries and heating it with potent RF energy, Profound® can stimulate the body’s natural healing properties, encouraging skin elasticity and fullness. This versatile treatment can be utilized to contour and smooth not only the face and neck, but the thighs, buttocks and abdomen as well. It has also proven to help many patients combat cellulite in various areas of the body.*

Ultherapy®

Sometimes also called “Ulthera,” Ultherapy® applies focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin. The ultrasound energy heats the deep dermal layers and underlying supportive tissues without cutting or disrupting the skin’s surface. In the hands of one of our skilled providers, Ultherapy® can lead to a gradual tightening and lifting effect in the neck, jawline, brow, décolletage or submental area of the face.*

Sylfirm

The world’s first FDA-approved device to offer both pulsed and continuous wave modes, Sylfirm was developed to penetrate the superficial and deep layers of the skin with RF energy and micro-needles. Not only can Sylfirm address issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin and uneven texture, but it can also combat concerns like melasma, pores, scars and redness.*

These non-surgical skin tightening procedures can be ideal for patients who are not quite ready for a facelift, but who would like to have the appearance of tighter, more youthful skin around the eyes and along the facial contours. As ICLS features a variety of these options, the best way to decide which is best for you is to attend a consultation with Dr. Sheetal Sapra and his expert nursing staff.

What Is Recovery Like After Non-Surgical Skin Tightening?

While recovery times can vary based on the specific method(s) applied, we typically advise patients to avoid exercise within the first 24 hours to avoid excess swelling. With some of the above treatments, you can expect to experience swelling for three to seven days as well as tenderness and bruising for one to two weeks. Following an Ultherapy® session, you may also notice numbness, which may take months to resolve.

Certain options – such as Profound® and Sylfirm – involve the use of micro-needles, which tend to cause more significant swelling, bruising and redness; however, these effects should not last longer than a few days to a week. If you are interested, our team would be happy to recommend products from our Skin Store to potentially expedite healing and ease discomfort during your recovery.
