Loose and sagging skin, whether it’s on your face, neck, or body, may keep you from looking as youthful and fit as you really are. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could firm and tighten your skin without a single incision? Now you can, with non-surgical skin tightening treatments in Marina del Rey at the Stoker Aesthetics med spa near Los Angeles and Santa Monica.
Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
Heat from laser or radiofrequency energy initiates a process that increases collagen production. The new collagen achieves a firmer, tighter skin appearance.
When choosing a skin tightening treatment, it’s important to consider the severity of your skin’s laxity and your available downtime. We offer the following options:
While these non-surgical procedures can provide highly visible improvement, it’s important to note that the results are not as dramatic as those achieved with surgery. For men and women seeking more substantial or longer-lasting results, surgery may be a better option. Significant weight loss patients who are frustrated with hanging skin usually require surgery. The degree of skin laxity for these patients is too advanced for non-surgical techniques alone. Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing or Morpheus8 may be combined with plastic surgery for superior results.

Morpheus8 treatments are beneficial for people who want to tighten mild to moderately lax skin on the face, neck, or body without surgery or lengthy downtime. During your consultation, we’ll provide the information you need to make an informed choice about whether to pursue surgical or non-surgical skin tightening. Together, we will develop a treatment plan that addresses your concerns.
We perform Morpheus8 treatments in our office using topical anesthesia, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) orand prescription medication to minimize discomfort. Any sensation is only experienced as the RF energy is delivered via the treatment device. Treatments typically take 1 to 1.5 hours.
Most patients require about 1 to 3 days of downtime after treatment to allow redness, itchiness, and swelling to resolve. You can facilitate healing by keeping the treating area clean, refrain from picking at scabbing skin, and avoiding sun exposure.
Results develop gradually as collagen increases in the skin. Patients typically notice tightening in treated areas beginning around one months after treatment. In most cases, final results are achieved at 3 months.
Usually just a single Morpheus8 treatmen provides noticeable results. Depending on the laxity of your skin and your body’s response, you may benefit from at least 3 treatments spaced about a month apart to achieve your desired results.
