Skin tightening treatment refers to a range of non-surgical procedures designed to firm and tighten loose or sagging skin in areas such as the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs. The main aim is to stimulate the production of collagen, which is responsible for maintaining the skin’s structure and elasticity and ultimately improving skin tone and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. By restoring firmness and smoothness to the skin, it can enhance your confidence and help you feel more youthful and self-assured.

The 5 skin tightening options we provide at Medical Aesthetics are:

  • Ultrasound
  • Laser
  • Radiofrequency (RF)
  • Topical Applications
  • Injections

Saggy skin can result from several factors, including:

  • Ageing: Collagen and elastin naturally decrease with age, causing the skin to become loose and less firm.
  • Sun Damage: UV radiation breaks down collagen in the skin, speeding up ageing.
  • Weight Loss: Rapid weight loss often leaves loose skin, especially in the abdomen, arms, and thighs.
  • Pregnancy: The skin around the abdomen and breasts can stretch and lose firmness due to pregnancy.
  • Lifestyle: Poor nutrition, smoking, and lack of exercise can reduce skin elasticity.

Saggy Skin: Skin Tightening Treatment in Singapore

Skin tightening treatments firm and lift the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production, which naturally decline with age. These non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures target various skin depths based on the severity of sagging and the specific area being treated. Common options include:

Treatment Options Description
Ultrasound Treatment Ultrasound treatments such as High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) target deeper skin layers to stimulate collagen production and provide a lifting effect. This non-invasive procedure is particularly effective for tightening sagging skin on areas like the face, neck, and body without affecting the surface layers. It has minimal downtime, with results gradually improving as new collagen forms over the following months.
Laser Treatment Laser treatments, including fractional CO2 laser, resurface and tighten the skin by promoting collagen production. They are often used for deeper rejuvenation to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and improve skin texture and tone. However, they may require more recovery time due to peeling or redness. In addition to tightening, these treatments can also address specific concerns like scars and pigmentation, helping to brighten the skin.
Radiofrequency (RF) Treatment RF treatments use energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening tissues. Devices like Thermage® are used for wrinkles and sagging on the face, neck, and body. These treatments are non-invasive, with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime, making them ideal for improving skin firmness and elasticity over time.
Topical Treatment Prescription creams, like retinoids, mildly tighten skin by stimulating collagen production. They are also commonly used to treat acne and improve overall skin texture, often complementing more intensive skin tightening treatments such as HIFU, RF and laser treatments.
Injection-based Treatment Botulinum Toxin temporarily smooths wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles, especially around the eyes and forehead. Fillers like hyaluronic acid work by adding volume to areas like the cheeks and lips. While these options create a firmer appearance, they do not stimulate collagen production, which is typically achieved by treatments like HIFU, RF, and laser therapy.

While some treatments offer immediate results, most require multiple sessions to achieve optimal, long-lasting improvements. It's important to consult with your doctor or dermatologist to determine the most suitable treatment based on your skin type, concerns, and goals.
