Skin Tightening
Over time, skin loses its elasticity due to aging, sun exposure, and environmental factors. At NSDL, we offer advanced, non-surgical skin tightening treatments that can help restore your skin’s firmness and smoothness.
Skin tightening treatments are ideal for addressing:
Loose or sagging skin on the face, neck, or body
Jowls and loss of definition along the jawline
Skin laxity on the abdomen, arms, and thighs
NSDL provides a variety of state-of-the-art technologies, including Thermage, BBL SkinTyte, and RF Diamond Polar, to deliver tailored results for each patient’s unique skin concerns. These treatments can be used alone or combined for a more comprehensive approach, depending on your skin’s unique needs.

Laser skin tightening
Laser skin tightening treatments use energy-based devices to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. Collagen is a key protein responsible for maintaining the skin’s firmness and structure. By promoting collagen growth, these treatments effectively tighten the skin, reducing sagging and improving overall skin tone and texture.
At NSDL, we offer three powerful technologies to help tighten and rejuvenate your skin:
Thermage is a non-invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. Thermage can be used on the face, neck, and body to address sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles.
How It Works: Thermage delivers controlled RF energy deep into the skin, causing immediate tightening by contracting existing collagen fibers and stimulating the production of new collagen over time.
Results: You’ll see improvements in skin firmness, with results continuing to improve over several months following treatment.
Downtime: Thermage requires no downtime, making it an ideal option for those with busy lifestyles.
BBL SkinTyte uses BroadBand Light (BBL) technology to safely heat the dermal layer of the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing process. This non-invasive treatment is ideal for firming skin on the face, neck, and body.
How It Works: The light energy from BBL gently heats the tissue, causing the collagen to contract and stimulating new collagen production over time.
Results: SkinTyte offers gradual improvements, of the skin developing over the course of multiple sessions.
Downtime: Like Thermage, BBL SkinTyte is non-invasive and requires minimal to no downtime, allowing you to return to your regular activities immediately.
3. Radio Frequency Diamond Polar
RF Diamond Polar is an advanced radiofrequency technology that delivers multipolar RF energy to the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production for skin tightening and rejuvenation. This treatment is especially effective for areas prone to sagging, such as the jawline, neck, and under the eyes.
How It Works: The RF energy heats the deeper skin layers without damaging the surface, tightening existing collagen fibers and promoting new collagen growth.
Results: RF Diamond Polar provides immediate tightening effects, with cumulative improvements as collagen production continues over time.
Downtime: There is no downtime with RF Diamond Polar, making it a convenient option for skin tightening with immediate results.
What to Expect During Treatment
Each skin tightening treatment session is performed in our clinic and typically lasts between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the technology used. During the procedure, you may feel a warming sensation as the energy penetrates the deeper layers of the skin, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated without the need for anesthesia.
Results and Recovery
Results from laser skin tightening treatments are both immediate and progressive. You may notice some initial tightening right after your treatment, with continued improvements in firmness and texture over the following 2-6 months as collagen production increases.
There is no downtime after skin tightening treatments, so you can return to your daily activities immediately. It is important to follow aftercare instructions, including using broad-spectrum SPF to protect your skin and maintain the results.
