Sagging skin is a common concern as we age because over time, our skin loses collagen and elastin, which are proteins that give skin its firmness and elasticity. This can cause the skin to sag, particularly in areas such as the face and neck.
Luckily, skin tightening treatments can be an effective solution for addressing sagging skin, thus restoring a more youthful and toned appearance.

What Is Skin Tightening?
Skin tightening is a cosmetic treatment that is designed to firm and tighten lax, sagging skin. Skin tightening treatments work by using energy-based technology to penetrate the epidermal layers and connective tissue using the following modalities:
- Radiofrequency (RF)
- Radiofrequency + Microneedling
- Ultrasound
- Laser
- Infrared Light
The heat stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, which are proteins that give skin its firmness and elasticity. As a result, the skin tightens up, resulting in a firmer and more toned feel and appearance.
Skin Tightening Treatments We Offer Here At Metro MedSpa
Skin tightening treatments can be customized to target specific areas of concern, such as the face and neck. They can also be used to address sagging skin on the arms, stomach, legs, and thighs.
Here are the skin tightening treatments we offer at Metro MedSpa:
- Morpheus8. This skin tightening treatment is a minimally invasive fractional skin procedure that pairs microneedling with radiofrequency energy to heat the deep layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and skin tightening. Morpheus8 uses a device that delivers the energy via tiny needles or micro-pins.
- Forma Skin Tightening. This non-invasive cosmetic treatment uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deep layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and skin tightening. It’s an advanced treatment specifically designed for skin tightening and wrinkle reduction.
- Ultherapy. It is a non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to heat the deep layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and skin tightening. The treatment is specifically designed for skin tightening, lifting, and rejuvenation, specifically on the face and neck.
- PDO Thread Lift. A noninvasive treatment that uses threads made of a synthetic material called polydioxanone (PDO) to lift and tighten the skin. The threads are inserted under the skin using a small needle or cannula, and then carefully positioned to lift and smooth out wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. The threads also stimulate collagen production, which leads to skin tightening and lifting.
