Nonsurgical Skin Tightening in Houston, TX
If you want to improve the tautness and overall appearance of your skin without cosmetic surgery, consider nonsurgical skin tightening at Ellsworth Plastic Surgery.
What Is Nonsurgical Skin Tightening?
When you are born, your body has a full supply of collagen and elastin that helps to make your skin smooth, soft, healthy, and resilient. In time, this supply of nutrients runs low and the skin of the face and body decreases in elasticity, leading to lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Utilizing advanced technology, nonsurgical skin tightening prompts the natural generation of collagen and elastin in the treated areas so you can have firmer, healthier skin. During the consultation, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Warren Ellsworth IV is pleased to offer nonsurgical skin tightening to patients wishing to tone the skin on their body or face without the expense and time of a lift surgery. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Ellsworth in Houston, TX to hear more about nonsurgical skin tightening.
Who Is An Ideal Candidate For Skin Tightening?
Skin tightening surgery or “lift” procedures, like a facelift, remains the most effective method to correct sagging, loose skin. Nonsurgical skin tightening can help if you do not wish to undergo plastic surgery.

How Is Nonsurgical Skin Tightening Performed?
Ellsworth Plastic Surgery utilizes the advanced SkinTyte system to safely treat loose skin on the face, neck, and body. Before the process, the area(s) being treated will be cleaned to remove any oils, cosmetics, and lotions. Options for local anesthesia can be discussed if you want, but most patients find that any mild discomfort during the laser treatment is short-lived and easy to tolerate. After your skin is prepared, a special handpiece will be passed evenly over the skin multiple times for the most effective treatment.
SkinTyte delivers infrared energy deep into the dermis while protecting the surface of your skin. The energy prompts the body’s natural healing properties to produce collagen and elastin, which tightens and firms the skin. The procedure can take about 30 – 90 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. After the procedure is over, you will be able to leave and resume your regular activities.
What Should I Expect Following My Procedure?
After your nonsurgical skin tightening session, the treated areas may be somewhat red or swollen. This is typical and should heal on its own within 2 – 3 days. During your initial consultation, Dr. Ellsworth will go over the best ways to care for your skin after your procedure, such as keeping the skin moisturized and protected from sun damage. Most patients will not see visible results immediately after the treatment. Since the collagen and elastin production is a gradual process, you can see the final results of your treatment about 2 – 6 months after the procedure. However, these results should be long-lasting and improve the overall health and appearance of your skin. You may want multiple treatments to get the ideal outcome. During your consultation, Dr. Ellsworth will help you create your unique treatment plan based on your needs and goals.
