Skin Tightening in Rochester Hills, MI
Skin Tightening
Skin tightening treatments increase the firmness and elasticity of your skin. As we age, our skin gradually loses collagen, resulting in laxity and sagging. Professional skin tightening stimulates collagen production to maintain a youthful, toned appearance. At The Spa MD, we offer multiple effective methods, including radiofrequency therapy, ultrasound, laser, and microneedling technologies. Treatments can address areas such as the face, neck, abdomen, arms, or thighs. Our skin tightening procedures reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and loose skin, giving you a smoother, rejuvenated look.
The treatment process varies by technology, with sessions typically lasting 30-60 minutes depending on the areas treated. Results develop gradually as collagen rebuilds, with initial improvements visible within weeks and continued enhancement over several months. Most treatments require minimal to no downtime, allowing you to return to daily activities immediately. By stimulating your body’s natural regenerative processes, our skin tightening treatments provide natural-looking, long-lasting results.

Our Skin Tightening Treatments
ClearLift™
Uses non-ablative photoacoustic technology to stimulate skin regeneration. These comfortable treatments require no downtime and can be used on the face, neck, decollete, arms, hands, and knees. Four treatment sessions are recommended for optimal results.
CO₂ Laser Resurfacing
A non-surgical ablative treatment that delivers dramatic skin tightening results. Effectively addresses aging skin concerns, including deep wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin tone and texture. Restores a more youthful appearance with somewhat longer recovery time than non-ablative options.
Microneedling
Also known as collagen induction therapy, this minimally invasive procedure creates tiny punctures in the skin to stimulate natural healing and collagen production. Improves skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance while addressing acne scars, fine lines, uneven tone, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, and enlarged pores.
Microplasma Peel
Uses radiofrequency and oxidized plasma to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. Stimulates collagen and elastin production to improve texture, tighten sagging skin, and reduce wrinkles and scars. It can be performed on various areas, including eyelids, neck, and hands.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment
A non-invasive treatment using broad-spectrum light to target specific skin concerns. Commonly used for addressing pigmentation issues, reducing acne and scars, and overall skin rejuvenation. Quick treatments that may require multiple sessions for optimal results.
Secret™ RF by Cutera
Combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy for enhanced results. Unlike devices that only deliver energy to the skin’s surface, Secret RF delivers radiofrequency deep into the skin where collagen and elastic fiber regeneration occur. Achieves optimal results on all skin types with minimal downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many treatments will I need?
Treatment requirements vary by technology and individual response. Some procedures, like CO₂ laser, may show significant results after one session, while others, like ClearLift™, typically require a series of 4-6 treatments for optimal results. During your consultation, we’ll recommend a treatment plan based on your specific goals.
Is there any downtime with skin tightening treatments?
Downtime varies by treatment type. Non-ablative options like ClearLift™ and Secret RF involve minimal to no recovery time. More intensive treatments like CO₂ laser resurfacing may require 5-7 days of healing. We’ll explain the expected recovery process for your specific treatment during consultation.
When will I see results from my skin tightening treatment?
Some improvement may be visible immediately after certain treatments, but significant results typically develop gradually as collagen rebuilding occurs. Most patients notice enhancement within 2-4 weeks, with continued improvement for 3-6 months as collagen remodeling progresses.
Are skin tightening treatments painful?
Comfort levels vary by treatment. Many procedures involve minimal discomfort, and we employ various measures, including topical anesthetics and cooling techniques, to ensure your comfort. The sensation is typically described as a warming or mild prickling feeling that subsides quickly after treatment.
How long do skin tightening results last?
Results can last from 1-3 years depending on the treatment type, your skin condition, and lifestyle factors. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months can help extend and enhance your results. Protecting your skin from sun damage and following a good skincare regimen will also help preserve your improvement.
