Skin Tightening

At Scarpidis Aesthetics, we are always ahead of the curve and are proud to offer the latest and most effective treatments for skin tightening in NYC. Led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ulysses Scarpidis, our team strives to provide unmatched care and results, so you can look and feel your best.

Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Procedures

We offer an extensive selection of non-surgical skin tightening treatments in NYC, so we can meet the needs of each unique patient. Whether you have loose skin due to aging, want to refine your post-Ozempic body contours, or want to enhance the results of a body contouring procedure, we can design a customized skin tightening plan for achieving your aesthetic goals.

Pellevé

We are excited to offer our New York patients the Pellevé system for tightening and smoothing skin on the face and body. This is a pain-free, non-invasive treatment that takes only an hour to perform, and you can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.

This system delivers constant radiofrequency (RF) energy deep under the skin, causing heat to build up in the area in which your skin and the underlying layer of fat meet. The heat modifies the bundles of collagen present under the skin, contracting them and stimulating new collagen growth.

HydroTight

The Pellevé system, when used in conjunction with HydraFacial MD™, provides dramatic skin tightening and rejuvenation results. We call this combination procedure “HydroTight” by Dr. Scarpidis.

HydraFacial MD™ is above and beyond the skin rejuvenation treatments of the past. It deeply cleanses, hydrates, and beautifies the skin. Pairing HydraFacial MD™with the Pellevé RF skin tightening system can transform the appearance of your skin, restoring a radiant glow and tightening loose skin to restore youthful contours.

ThermiSmooth 250 

One of the most effective body skin tightening systems we offer is called ThermiSmooth 250. This advanced device delivers radiofrequency energy to heat tissue and contract collagen molecules, stimulating natural collagen production and giving the skin a tighter, more lifted appearance. In addition to tightening skin, ThermiSmooth 250 melts fat cells and reduces cellulite, making it a comprehensive body sculpting solution. 

ThermiSmooth 250 is often recommended in combination with Sculpsure, SmartLipo, liposuction, and other body contouring treatments to enhance outcomes.

Ultherapy®

Ultherapy® is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment that lifts and tightens skin using advanced ultrasound technology. This treatment stimulates collagen production deep within the skin, helping to restore its natural elasticity and firmness over time. Ultherapy® is often used on areas such as the face, neck, and décolletage.

With no downtime required, patients can return to their normal activities right away. Results appear gradually as new collagen is produced, with optimal improvement seen within two to three months.

NuEra® Tight

NuEra® Tight is a radiofrequency (RF) treatment that targets sagging skin and cellulite with precision. This treatment involves the use of controlled heat to stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to visibly firmer, smoother skin. NuEra® Tight can be adjusted to different depths, making it suitable for a wide range of body and facial areas.

Benefits of Non-Surgical Skin Tightening

Many people feel the appearance of loose, drooping skin makes them look old and tired. Smoothing and tightening skin can make a dramatic difference in how you feel about yourself – and how others respond to you. Some of the many advantages of non-surgical skin tightening include:

• Non-invasive – Get noticeable results without the need for a single incision.
• Little to no downtime – Get back to your normal routine right away.
• Stimulates natural collagen production – Increased collagen production provides long-term firming effects.
• Lifts and tightens sagging skin – Rejuvenate your look by tightening lax skin in areas like the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs.
• Improves skin texture and tone – Enhance overall skin quality and radiance.
• Reduces cellulite – Treatments like NuEra® Tight and ThermiSmooth 250 can provide visible cellulite reduction.
• Natural-looking results – Non-surgical skin tightening provides gradual improvements over time for subtle, yet noticeable enhancement.

Step One – A Consultation

We customize every skin tightening treatment to the unique needs of the patient, so the first step is to meet with us at our Midtown, Manhattan office for a private consultation. During your consultation, we will speak with you about your aesthetic goals, evaluate your skin, and determine the optimal treatment approach for achieving your desired results.

How much does non-surgical skin tightening cost?

The cost of non-surgical skin tightening varies depending on the treatment type, treatment area, and the number of sessions required. During your consultation, we will provide a personalized treatment plan and will review the associated costs with you.

Who is a candidate for non-surgical skin tightening?

Ideal candidates for non-surgical skin tightening are individuals who have mild to moderate skin laxity and want to improve firmness and elasticity without undergoing surgery. Candidates include those experiencing skin laxity due to aging and patients who have lost weight using Ozempic or other weight loss medications and have loose skin as a result.

Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results. Non-surgical skin tightening is not intended to treat severe skin laxity or loose, hanging skin due to massive weight loss. In these cases, surgical skin tightening procedures, such as a tummy tuck or neck lift, may be necessary.

How long do the results of skin tightening treatments last?

The longevity of results depends on the specific procedure and your body’s natural aging process. Most treatments stimulate collagen production, which continues to improve the skin over several months. With proper skincare and maintenance sessions, results can last from several months to a few years.

What areas of the body can be treated with non-surgical skin tightening?

Non-surgical skin tightening treatments can be performed on virtually any area of the body where skin laxity is a concern. Common treatment areas include the face, neck, abdomen, thighs, arms, and buttocks. Our skin tightening experts offer customized treatments based on your specific needs, often leveraging multiple technologies to deliver exceptional results.

Is there any downtime after a skin tightening procedure?

Most non-surgical skin tightening treatments require little to no downtime. Patients can typically resume their normal activities immediately after their session. Some treatments may cause mild redness or swelling, but these post-procedure effects usually subside quickly.
