Resurfacing & Tightening
Non-Surgical Skin Tightening
Uses controlled energy to warm the deeper layers of the skin and stimulate new collagen, for firmer, smoother-looking skin without surgery.
Non-surgical skin tightening in Vancouver
Understanding Non-Surgical Skin Tightening.
Collagen and elastin give skin its firmness and spring. Non-surgical skin tightening uses controlled energy to warm the deeper layers of the skin and encourage your body to build new collagen. Over the following months, skin on the face, jawline, neck and body can look firmer and smoother.
Our clinic offers five skin tightening technologies. Each one works at a different depth, so your plan can be matched to your skin, the areas you'd like to treat and your schedule, and combined with other treatments where that adds to your result.

Skin tightening technologies at our clinic
- Ultherapy: microfocused ultrasound that reaches the deeper supporting layer of the face. Often chosen for lifting and firming the brow, jawline, under the chin and neck.
- Thermage FLX: monopolar radiofrequency for overall firming and smoothing of the face, neck or body.
- SkinTyte II: infrared light, a comfortable choice for milder laxity and larger areas, given as a series.
- Secret RF microneedling on the Secret PRO platform: for firmness together with texture, acne scarring or enlarged pores.
- Emface: needle-free radiofrequency combined with muscle stimulation, for facial toning.
These treatments are performed by our senior laser technicians under the medical direction of Dr. Gidon Frame. Each technology page explains how the treatment works, what to expect, recovery and safety.
What skin tightening can improve
- Softening along the jawline and early jowling
- Neck laxity and horizontal neck lines
- Crepey or thinning skin on the face, neck, chest or arms
- Brow heaviness and mild upper-eyelid skin laxity
- Fine lines and overall firmness
- Loose skin on the body, including the abdomen and upper arms
- Skin quality after weight loss
Skin tightening is well suited to mild to moderate laxity. For more advanced changes, your consultation covers the full range of options at our clinic, including injectables and thread lifts that restore support.
Who may benefit
Skin tightening suits adults with mild to moderate laxity who would like gradual, natural-looking firming that fits around their everyday routine.
All skin tones can be treated. The technology and settings are chosen for your skin tone, since some heat-based platforms use adjusted settings for deeper skin tones.
Your medical history, medications and previous treatments are reviewed at your consultation to confirm which option suits you.
Your consultation
Your consultation is with one of our senior laser technicians, within our physician-led clinic under the medical direction of Dr. Gidon Frame.
We talk about the changes you've noticed, the areas that matter most to you, your timing and your budget. Your skin is assessed for firmness, thickness, quality and tone, and we review your medical history, medications, implants and previous treatments.
You leave with a personal plan: which technology suits your skin, how many sessions to expect, what recovery involves, the cost, and how skin tightening can work alongside other treatments if they'd help.
Cosmetic consultations are complimentary. When you book a treatment, we take a card on file. New clients pay a $150 deposit that goes toward their treatment, and a $150 no-show fee applies if an appointment is missed.

Looking for the right next step?
Anti-Aging Medical & Laser Clinic can help you understand this treatment, explore related technologies and concerns, and build a plan around your goals.
Results and planning
What improves. Skin firmness and quality, smoother texture, better definition along the jawline and neck, and an overall impression of firmer, well-supported skin.
Timing, sessions and recovery depend on the technology chosen. Some are designed around one session and others around a short course, and each technology page explains what to expect. Periodic maintenance helps you keep your results as your skin continues to change.
What influences your result: skin thickness and quality, the degree of laxity, sun exposure, smoking, weight changes, genetics and general health. Individual results vary.
Complementary treatments and skincare
Skin tightening builds firmness. Where facial structure is also part of the picture, our physicians can add support with collagen-stimulating injectables such as Sculptra or Radiesse, or with APTOS threads.
Laser rejuvenation and HydraFacial refine the skin's surface. HydraFacial works well in combination with skin tightening and is booked on a separate day.
Many patients need only one treatment. Combinations are recommended when they add something to your result.
Your at-home skincare
Your skincare routine supports every stage of treatment.
Daily sun protection preserves the collagen your treatment is building and protects your results.
Around treatment, a gentle cleanser and moisturizer help the skin settle, with active ingredients reintroduced when your technician advises.
Longer term, a medical-grade routine with ingredients such as retinoids, antioxidants and peptides supports firmness, texture and tone between treatments. Our team can recommend a routine for your skin, and products are available in our online shop.

FAQ
Questions about Non-Surgical Skin Tightening.
Some people notice early tightening within days. The main improvement comes from new collagen, which typically develops over about two to six months, so your result continues to build after treatment.
It depends on where your laxity sits, your skin thickness and tone, the area you'd like to treat and how much recovery time suits you. Ultherapy reaches the deeper supporting layer, Thermage FLX firms broadly across an area, SkinTyte II is a gentle series, and RF microneedling also improves texture. Your consultation matches the technology to your skin.
It varies by technology. Infrared feels like sustained warmth, radiofrequency delivers brief hot pulses, microfocused ultrasound produces short bursts of deep heat, and RF microneedling is done under numbing cream. Energy is adjusted to what you feel during your session.
Yes. Skin tightening works on firmness and skin quality, while injectables restore volume and structure. Spacing matters, so tell us about any filler you've had and when. Your plan sets out the right sequence.
Skin tightening gently firms mild to moderate laxity with no incisions, and results build gradually. For more advanced tissue descent, our team can talk through what non-surgical care can achieve, including injectables and thread lifts, and whether a surgical opinion is worth considering.
