What Is Skin Tightening?
Skin tightening is a non-surgical approach to restoring firmness and elasticity to aging skin by stimulating collagen production. Over time, factors like aging, genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices can lead to loose or sagging skin, but advanced treatments can help reverse these effects. Whether targeting fine lines on the face or addressing laxity in other areas, modern skin-tightening treatments offer a safe and effective way to rejuvenate your skin without downtime.
The benefits of skin tightening go beyond a more youthful appearance; it can also improve:
- Skin texture
- Enhance contours
- Promote overall skin health
Skin Tightening Treatments at Lyle Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics
TempSure Envi & Firm®
Our prestigious TempSure Envi and Firm treatments use radiofrequency energy to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening loose or sagging areas. TempSure Envi is ideal for targeting facial aging concerns like forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, and sagging eyelids, promoting a more youthful and evenly textured complexion. TempSure Firm is designed to treat larger areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, and arms. These treatments work by delivering controlled heat to the deeper layers of the skin, which encourages the body’s natural healing process. Over time, this leads to firmer, smoother skin that you can feel confident in. Additionally, TempSure sessions are comfortable, require no downtime, and provide gradual, long-lasting improvements.
NeoGen®
NeoGen uses nitrogen plasma technology to rejuvenate the skin on multiple levels. By converting nitrogen gas into plasma energy, NeoGen creates a controlled thermal effect that stimulates collagen production, improves skin tone, and tightens loose areas. Unlike other treatments, NeoGen treats the skin’s entire surface while targeting deeper layers, reducing wrinkles, sagging, and uneven texture. This technology is suitable for both facial and body skin, and because it promotes natural healing, patients experience progressive improvements over several months.
SofWave™
SofWave utilizes ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen and elastin production deep within the skin. By delivering precise ultrasound energy to the mid-dermal layers, SofWave tightens and lifts sagging skin while maintaining the skin’s surface. This treatment is perfect for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and mild laxity without invasive procedures. SofWave is particularly effective for the face and neck, helping patients achieve a firmer, more youthful look with minimal discomfort and downtime.

Best Candidates for Skin Tightening Treatments
Skin-tightening treatments are best suited for individuals looking to improve mild to moderate skin laxity without surgery. Ideal candidates typically experience signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, or sagging skin, and want a non-invasive solution to restore a firmer, more youthful appearance. These treatments are perfect for those with good skin quality and elasticity, as collagen stimulation works best when the skin can naturally rejuvenate.

If you’re in good overall health and have realistic expectations, skin-tightening treatments may be a great fit for you.
How To Prepare for Your Skin Tightening Treatment
In the days leading up to your skin-tightening treatment with Dr. Lyle, it’s important to take a few simple steps to ensure we can achieve your desired results. Staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking (if applicable) can help support your skin’s natural healing and collagen production. Dr. Lyle may also advise putting a brief pause on certain medications, supplements, or skincare products to minimize any risks and enhance the effectiveness of your treatment.
Before your appointment, consider requesting the rest of the day off from work or other strenuous activities; although most skin-tightening treatments require little to no downtime, your skin may feel mildly sensitive. It’s also a good idea to avoid excessive sun exposure before and after treatment, as healthy, hydrated skin responds best to collagen stimulation.
What To Expect on the Day of Your Skin Tightening Treatment
On the day of your skin-tightening treatment with Dr. Lyle, you can expect a smooth and comfortable experience. Before the procedure begins, Dr. Lyle and his team will review your treatment plan, answer any last-minute questions, and ensure you’re fully prepared.
Depending on the treatment, TempSure, NeoGen, or SofWave, a topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance your comfort. During the session, you’ll feel gentle warmth or energy pulses as the device stimulates collagen production deep within your skin. Most treatments are quick, typically lasting under an hour, and require little to no downtime.
Afterward, you may notice mild redness or sensitivity, but this should subside within a few hours. You can resume most daily activities immediately, feeling confident that your skin is on its way to looking firmer and refreshed.
FAQs: Skin Tightening With Dr. glenn Lyle
Can skin-tightening treatments prevent future sagging?
Skin-tightening treatments help stimulate collagen and elastin production, which can slow down future sagging, but they don’t permanently prevent it. Aging and lifestyle factors will continue to affect skin elasticity over time, so maintenance treatments and good skincare habits can help prolong the results.
How soon will I see the results, and how long will they last?
Results from skin-tightening treatments typically begin to appear within a few weeks as collagen production increases, with optimal improvements seen over several months. The longevity of results varies, but many patients enjoy firmer, more youthful skin for a year or longer, especially with proper skincare and maintenance treatments.
Is skin tightening painful or uncomfortable?
Skin-tightening treatments are generally well tolerated, with most patients experiencing only mild warmth or tingling during the procedure. Some treatments may involve temporary redness or sensitivity, but discomfort is minimal, and no downtime is typically required.
What makes TempSure, NeoGen, and SofWave different from each other?
TempSure uses radiofrequency energy to gently heat deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and tightening lax areas. NeoGen utilizes nitrogen plasma to regenerate skin at multiple levels, improving elasticity and texture. SofWave delivers precise ultrasound energy to boost collagen production, effectively lifting and firming skin with minimal downtime. Each treatment offers unique benefits tailored to different skin concerns and areas. Schedule your consultation if you’d like a more detailed comparison!
Which skin-tightening treatment is best for the face, and which is better for the body?
TempSure Envi and SofWave are excellent choices for the face, targeting fine lines and improving overall firmness. For the body, TempSure Firm and NeoGen are ideal, helping to tighten lax skin and enhance contours on areas like the abdomen, arms, and thighs.
Do these treatments work for all skin types?
Yes! TempSure, NeoGen, and SofWave are designed to be safe and effective for most skin types. These treatments work by stimulating collagen and elastin production without damaging the skin’s surface, making them suitable for a wide range of tones and textures. A consultation with Dr. Lyle can help determine the best option for your skin type and concerns.
Will I need multiple sessions to see the best outcome?
In most cases, multiple sessions are recommended to achieve the best skin-tightening results. While you may notice improvements after a single treatment, collagen production takes time, and a series of sessions can help enhance firmness and longevity. The ideal number of treatments varies depending on the technology used, your skin’s condition, and your personal goals. Dr. Lyle will customize a treatment plan to ensure you achieve the most effective and long-lasting results.
