Skin Tightening & Stretchmarks

Sagging skin can be unflattering and unwanted and can make wearing swimsuits or other revealing clothing embarrassing. Pregnancy or fluctuations in weight can stretch the skin, causing unsightly stretch marks and leaving you with lax skin areas that won’t tighten or improve, even with diet and exercise.

Advances in laser and radiofrequency technology have led to non-surgical treatments for stubborn, loose, damaged skin on various parts of the body. Dr. Westreich will work with you to create a custom treatment plan to improve the look, texture, and firm, supple quality of the skin on the body or face.

Advanced Treatment for Loose Skin and Stretchmarks

With non-invasive options for skin tightening and reducing the appearance of stretchmarks, the treatments are extremely versatile and beneficial to people of almost any age. These treatments provide an alternative to surgery, with no need for anesthetic and no lengthy recovery time.

Skin tightening and stretchmark removal can be performed on many areas of the body, including:

Your stomach — often negatively affected by pregnancy or weight fluctuations
Your upper arms, which can sag with age and make short-sleeved or sleeveless garments unflattering
Love handles, where excess skin and fat leave you with a “muffin top”
Upper thighs with cellulite lumps and bumps
“Turkey neck” when chin and neck skin sags and droops or you develop an unsightly double chin

Our non-surgical procedures can drastically improve the appearance of your skin to make you look younger and slimmer, boosting your self-confidence in your body image.

Methods of Skin Tightening & Stretchmark Removal

Most devices used for skin rejuvenating use a form of light or sound wave therapy to treat the surface of the skin without damaging the surrounding tissues. Each type of treatment has its own advantages, which are evaluated based on the areas that need to be addressed.

Laser Treatments

Laser technology can be used to treat the upper layer of skin and begin the body’s natural healing process. Your body will generate new collagen and elastin to restore and rejuvenate the top layer of skin, for a smoother, more even texture, while fading the appearance of stretchmarks.

Radiofrequency Energy

The radiofrequency treatments using Morpheus 8 focus on the epidermal layers of skin, stimulating collagen production to give your skin a smoother, firmer appearance.

Combination Treatments

For some patients, radiofrequency treatments are combined with other advanced, non-invasive treatments to achieve a more dramatic improvement in overall skin texture, tone, and youthful glow. The combination of the two treatments penetrates varying depths of skin structure for surface-level smoothing and treating the deeper tissues to firm and tighten skin.

Combined Treatment with Microneedling

Depending on your degree of skin laxity, Dr. Westreich may also recommend microneedling to enhance the look and feel of your skin even more. Microneedling involves a handheld device with a small grouping of needles that delicately prick the skin to create micro-injuries to further stimulate collagen production. The tiny channels created by the device are also perfect for helping you absorb vitamin-rich creams or serums to nourish, plump, and improve skin quality.

Dr. Westreich in NYC will work closely with you to develop a custom treatment plan to rejuvenate and restore skin quality and give you a more youthful, fresh, revitalized appearance.

Advantages of Non-Surgical Skin Treatments

Skin tightening and stretchmark removal do not need to involve pain and surgery — and that’s why our range of advanced, non-surgical options will make your decision to revitalize your skin easier than ever. In fact, our full spectrum of skin tightening procedures for the abdomen is often referred to as a “non-surgical tummy tuck” and used by well-known celebrities and thousands of other people as an alternative to a traditional tummy tuck. These procedures leave no visible scarring and involve little-to-no downtime, important reasons to choose a non-surgical tummy tuck or one of our other advanced skin tightening and stretchmark reducing procedures.

What to Expect During Non-Surgical Skin Tightening and Stretchmark Removal

Laser light, microneedling and radiofrequency procedures are each relatively pain-free treatments, and don’t typically require anesthesia, but a topical anesthetic can be applied for greater patient comfort. The procedures themselves usually range from 30-90 minutes, and will be dependent on the size and scope of the areas needing treatment. Some patients may need more than one session to achieve smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

What Results Will I See in Non-Surgical Skin Tightening?

Results from non-surgical skin treatments will become visible over time as your skin experiences the natural regenerative process. Over the next few weeks after your procedure, collagen production will continue to improve the appearance and quality of your skin.

You can expect to see:

Improved appearance to sagging, loose skin
Smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles
Stretchmarks are less visible, with skin tighter and firmer
Tighter, more youthful skin quality, shaving years off your appearance
Smoother body contour, with clothing appearing more flattering
Higher self-esteem and the confidence to wear bathing suits, shorts, or tummy-revealing tops

Dr. Westreich will monitor your progress and administer any needed follow-up treatments. In most cases, no time off work is needed after treatment. Any surface redness or discomfort is mild and disappears within one or two days of your procedure. You can quickly return to your normal activities and enjoy your improved skin quality and firmness without surgery.
