Skin Tightening
Introduction To Skin Tightening Treatment
A skin tightening procedure is a phenomenally popular with our patients, with many seeking treatment to rid them of their sagging skin. A simple online search about reducing sagging skin will find many creams claiming to aid this indication but at PHI Clinic, we provide device-based procedures and lasers as opposed to lotions, proven to give the results you desire.
There are many factors that contribute to sagging skin, but the most common are pregnancy or weight loss causing excess or loose skin, cellulite, and ageing.
At PHI Clinic we house the largest collection of skin tightening treatments for the face at our London clinic. This gives us the opportunity to tailor our technologies to the patient, offering only what we believe will provide the best results for them.
Laser treatments are performed with a handheld device and can be used as a non invasive skin tightening alternative to plastic surgery facelifts and surgical skin tightening methods. Many devices are able to target multiple layers of the skin at once and can be combined with skin care regimens or hyaluronic acid fillers for optimal results.

Technical Information
Ultrasound technology targets the dermis of the skin, producing heat energy to stimulate collagen production. Over time, the skin becomes firmer and lifts, without the need for surgery.
HI-FU, similar to the Ultherapy device, provides lifting and tightening by stimulating repair at a deeper level.
Radio-Frequency is capable of treating various depths of the skin’s tissue, disrupting the collagen fibres to trigger the body’s natural healing process. This in turn firms the skin over a period of time. Radiofrequency stimulates collagen production at deep levels of the skin, which gives an overall tightening and lifting of the skin, as well as improving the skin’s appearance on the surface.
We pride ourselves on having multiple devices to suit every skin tone, that harness the natural healing process of skin in order to create results. Some devices may require local anaesthetic in the form of a topical cream to increase patient comfort throughout treatment. Side effects vary depending on the type of laser or treatment. Devices vary but can often be used on both skin on the face and body.
