What Is Nonsurgical Skin Tightening?
Common signs of aging, like loose skin and the dreaded "turkey waddle" neck, can make you look older than you feel. At The Skin Care Center at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery, non-surgical skin tightening treatments like SkinTyte, Ultherapy, and PDO (polydioxanone) threads offer improve skin laxity without surgery.
How Does Nonsurgical Skin Tightening Work?
Ultherapy and SkinTyte are completely noninvasive treatments. SkinTyte uses infrared light, and Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production, which helps restore the skin's youthful bounce. There is little to no downtime with either of these procedures.
PDO Threads are placed in the deeper tissues of the face using a needle opening in the skin. No cutting or suturing is required. When placed, these threads stimulate new collagen, resulting in a more lifted appearance. Ultherapy or SkinTyte can be used in conjunction with a PDO thread lift to enhance and prolong its effects.
It is important to remember that these treatments offer a subtle lift and not the more dramatic results of a surgical facelift. But, if you aren't ready for surgery (or if you want to prolong your surgical results) these are excellent options. Contact us to schedule a complimentary consultation before these procedures to plan your treatment.
What Are the Benefits of Nonsurgical Skin Tightening?
Not everyone needs or wants invasive surgery for a refreshed look. For those in Pensacola, FL seeking to tighten loose skin without surgery, Ultherapy, SkinTyte, and PDO thread lift are excellent options. Benefits include:
- Stimulating collagen for long-lasting, radiant results
- Longer-lasting effects compared to other nonsurgical treatments, like fillers
- A minimally invasive yet effective procedure
- Enjoying a youthful appearance
Treatments
- oneSkinTyte is a fast, safe, and effective noninvasive skin-tightening treatment. It stimulates collagen production by using infrared light technology to heat the dermal layers of the skin. There is no downtime, and it can be used virtually anywhere on the body. A series of five treatments is recommended for best results.
- Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin, and brow and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest and knees. It is also an excellent way to maintain and prolong the results of a facelift, neck lift, or eyelid surgery and is a wonderful treatment to use in conjunction with a PDO suture lift. This is a one-time treatment with minimal downtime, but patients may have some swelling for a few days. It is recommended that patients have Ultherapy yearly to maintain results.
- Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are medical-grade threads almost as thin as a human hair. When interested using a needle opening in the skin, these threads stimulate the production of new collagen. Unlike previous threads, PDO threads are completely absorbable. The collagen tunnel that develops over the thread continues to support the tissues. PDO threads effectively treat a sagging face, neck, and/or jowl and a lifting heavy brow. The effects last about one-and-a-half to two years but can be prolonged using Ultherapy or SkinTyte.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my results last?
Most people enjoy smoother, firmer skin for up to a year or longer after their skin tightening treatment. How long it lasts depends on your age, skin condition, and how your body responds to collagen stimulation. With good skin care and an occasional touch-up, results can last even longer. Keeping your skin hydrated and protected from the sun also helps you hold on to your glow.
What causes loose facial skin?
As we get older, the skin naturally makes less collagen and elastin, which are the building blocks that keep it firm and tight. Over time, this leads to sagging, fine lines, and a tired appearance. Sun damage, weight changes, and even daily facial expressions can speed up the process. Our nonsurgical skin tightening treatments at The Skin Care Center work by waking up those deeper layers and helping your skin rebuild strength from within.
How many skin tightening treatments will I need?
Most clients start with a series of 3 – 6 treatments spaced a few weeks apart. This gives your skin time to react and build fresh collagen gradually. After the initial series, you may only need a maintenance session every few months to keep your results looking fresh. Our team will create a plan based on your skin, your goals, and how quickly you want to see change.
