Overview

Non-surgical solutions to restore firmness, lift lax skin and smooth wrinkles

As we age, the skin gradually loses collagen and elastin, leading to laxity, sagging and deeper lines. Sun damage, fluctuating weight and natural ageing all accelerate this process. Surgery is not the only answer: a range of non-surgical technologies can tighten and firm the skin with little or no downtime.

At Maison Restorative we offer several complementary skin tightening modalities, each suited to different degrees of laxity and different areas of the face and body. Thermage FLX uses monopolar radiofrequency to heat and remodel deep collagen fibres. INTRAcel applies fractional radiofrequency microneedling to stimulate new collagen from within the dermis. Ultracel by HIFU targets the deeper structural tissue layers to produce a genuine lift without surgery. SmartXIDE Co2 laser resurfacing addresses surface texture and tone alongside tightening.

Your practitioner will assess your skin and discuss your goals, then recommend the modality or combination best matched to your concerns.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Which skin tightening treatment is right for me?

The best choice depends on the area you want to treat, the degree of laxity and your skin type. Your practitioner will assess you at consultation and recommend whether Thermage FLX, INTRAcel, Ultracel HIFU, SmartXIDE Co2 or a combination is most suitable.

How many sessions will I need?

This varies by modality. Thermage and many HIFU-based treatments deliver their full benefit in a single session; other devices work best as a course of treatments. Your practitioner will advise at consultation.

When will I see results?

Some improvement is visible soon after treatment, but the main benefit comes as new collagen forms over the following weeks and months. Results typically continue to develop for up to six months.

Is there any downtime?

Most skin tightening treatments involve little to no downtime. Redness or mild swelling may occur for a day or two with some devices, but patients generally return to normal activities the same day.

Are the results permanent?

The new collagen produced is real and lasting, but the natural ageing process continues. Maintenance sessions help sustain the improvement, and many patients choose a treatment every one to two years.

How much does non-surgical skin tightening cost?

Pricing depends on the treatment and what is agreed for you and is confirmed in writing at your consultation, with no obligation to proceed.
