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?

- Stimulating collagen for long-lasting, radiant results

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.
