It’s completely natural for skin to lose some of its firmness over time, whether from aging, weight fluctuations, or pregnancy. As collagen and elastin levels decrease, you might notice areas of looseness or sagging on the face, neck, arms, abdomen, or thighs. At Pacific Plastic Surgery Group, we offer a range of surgical and non-surgical options designed to help tighten and smooth the skin, helping you feel refreshed and confident in your appearance.
Our Treatment Options
Surgery
For patients experiencing moderate to severe skin laxity, surgery is the option that will provide the most dramatic and long-lasting results. Body contouring procedures can help to remove excess skin and tighten the underlying tissues. Surgery typically takes two to five hours, depending on the procedure, with a recovery period of several weeks. Body contouring surgery is ideal for patients who want comprehensive and lasting improvement after significant weight loss or pregnancy.
Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to target deeper layers of the skin. This technology stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and tightening areas such as the jawline, neck, and décolletage. Most sessions take about 30 to 60 minutes, with mild redness and swelling that typically resolves within a few days. Morpheus8 is an ideal option for patients seeking mild lifting and rejuvenation without surgery.
Halo
The HALO treatment is a customizable skin resurfacing treatment that rejuvenates the surface and deeper layers of the skin. By combining ablative and non-ablative wavelengths, Halo improves skin tone, reduces fine lines, and prompts collagen remodeling, resulting in firmer, smoother skin. Treatment takes about 60 to 90 minutes, with minimal downtime. It is ideal for patients who want a comprehensive glow-up with skin-firming benefits.
ProFractional
ProFractional laser skin resurfacing uses a fractional laser to target areas of skin, leaving surrounding tissue intact for quicker healing. This treatment promotes collagen production, reduces surface imperfections, and tightens loose skin. Sessions usually last 30 to 45 minutes, with about 3 to 5 days of downtime. ProFractional treatment is ideal for patients who want an improvement in skin tone and elasticity with minimal recovery.
Sculptra
Sculptra is an injectable treatment that restores volume and improves skin quality by stimulating collagen production over time. It is effective for facial laxity, such as hollow cheeks and sagging jawlines, helping to lift and firm the skin from within. It can also be used on areas of the body like arms, hands, abdomen and buttocks. Sessions take around 30 minutes, with minimal downtime, and most patients return to normal activities immediately. Sculptra results develop gradually over several weeks.
