Saggy skin can occur on the face, arms, legs, stomach, and neck, among other areas. It can be frustrating as it takes away your natural appeal and can even lead to low self-esteem and confidence. The good thing is, your looks can be restored through skin tightening treatment.
Skin tightening involves non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures designed to counter loose or saggy skin. These procedures aim to restore skin toning, improve elasticity, and smooth skin texture.
At Lumiskins, we provide the best skin tightening treatments for face and body, using advanced techniques to ensure long-term results.
Causes Of Loose Skin
Age
Connective tissues maintain our skin’s elasticity, resilience, and tone. However, with age, the production of collagen and elastin (connective tissues) reduces. This makes the skin loose and wrinkled as its elasticity and strength are reduced. In addition to this, the underlying muscles become weak, making the skin less taut (for example, facial muscles).
Exposure to Sunlight
Sun exposure is one of the primary causes of loose skin, particularly premature skin sagging. While it’s fun to enjoy the sun and to get that perfect body tanning, the UV rays tend to penetrate your skin, causing damage to the connective tissue. With excessive sun exposure makes the skin more prone to wrinkles and loss of skin toning.
Weight loss
If you lose a lot of weight over a short period, either through exercise and dieting or through surgery, you may be left with excess skin that sags. This can be attributed to the fact that your skin grows/stretches as you gain weight, but when you lose weight, it remains too stretched out for the snapback effect to occur.
Smoking
Smoking produces toxins that affect the skin in many ways. It’s one of the main factors attributed to premature aging of the skin. The toxins produced during smoking affect the delivery of oxygen and vital nutrients required to replenish the skin for a healthy, smooth, and well-toned skin. This causes the skin to lose its elasticity, become dry, and wrinkled.
Skin Tightening Procedures
At Lumiskins, we specialize in the best skin tightening treatments using cutting-edge technology to restore firm, youthful skin.
Pelleve
Pelleve is a skin tightening procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to heat the skin. By heating the skin, Pelleve stimulates the production of collagen. This procedure is noninvasive, and it tends to target the upper layers of the skin. For ideal results, the treatment is utilized in combination with other treatments, including microneedling, IPL, and even Ultherapy.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy is a noninvasive skin tightening procedure that utilizes ultrasound energy to stimulate the production of collagen. Ultherapy targets even the deeper layers of the skin (Dermis). This means that collagen will be produced throughout all the layers of the skin resulting in stronger, healthier, and smoother skin. This skin tightening technique is perfect if you require deep lifts.
Mesotherapy
The skin requires a wide variety of nutrients for continuous rejuvenation and production of connective tissue. Mesotherapy focuses on delivering the necessary nutrients directly into the affected areas. The nutrients used in Mesotherapy treatments include enzymes, minerals, vitamins, peptides, hormones, plant extracts, and amino acids, among other constituents. These nutrients are delivered directly into the skin via injections or microneedling. Lumiskins treatment is successful because of our team of expert professionals working together for the most satisfying & safe results.

FAQ
Skin Tightening Frequently Asked Questions
How much does skin tightening cost?
The skin tightening tcost depends on the treatment method(s) chosen, the size and condition of the part being treated, and the number of sessions required. At Lumiskins, we offer the best skin tightening methods in Toronto at affordable prices. To know how much your skin tightening procedure will cost, schedule an appointment with one of our specialists.
How does skin tightening work?
Loose skin is caused by the loss and reduced production of elastin and collagen. The skin tightening treatments offered at Lumiskins Clinic restore the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in a taut, plump, and smooth skin. Each method works differently and is preferred for different body parts and conditions. Contact us to learn more about our skin tightening procedures.
Does skin tightening have any side effects?
The procedures we offer are noninvasive or minimally-invasive. However, like any other treatment, they have minor side effects associated with them. These include:
- Reddening of the skin
- Slight inflammation
- Tenderness of the skin
- Mild pain
These side effects, however, diminish within a few hours or days after treatment, which means you can resume your normal life almost immediately after your procedure.
Is skin tightening painful?
Yes, some skin tightening procedures are associated with slight pain. This is why we offer a numbing cream during each of our treatment procedures for a comfortable and pain-free session.
How long before I notice skin tightening results?
Skin tightening involves the stimulation of collagen production for a taut and smooth skin. This means that the body has to produce collagen and then tighten the skin, which takes time to occur. The time taken for results to be visible depends on the condition of your skin and treatment technique used. For example, the best results of Ultherapy treatment may take up to three months, but you get an immediate skin lift.
How long do skin tightening sessions take?
A skin tightening session takes an average of one hour. This time varies depending on your treatment method and the area being treated. You may require several of these treatment sessions to attain the desired results. For example, you may need one to five Ultherapy treatment sessions – spaced as required – for optimal results.
