With age, sun exposure and weight change, skin loses collagen and elasticity, leading to loose skin, fine lines and a softer jawline. Non-surgical skin tightening can help with mild to moderate laxity. At PS Dental Care, Narela Mandi, we first examine your skin and explain honestly what a treatment can and cannot do for you.

Devices such as radiofrequency (RF), focused ultrasound (HIFU) and lasers deliver controlled heat to the deeper layers of the skin. This heat causes the skin to tighten a little straight away and encourages the body to make new collagen over the following weeks and months. The effect is gradual and modest, and it is not a substitute for a surgical facelift.
| Treatment | How it works | Usually considered for |
|---|---|---|
| Radiofrequency (RF) | RF energy heats the deeper skin layers to stimulate collagen | Mild to moderate laxity of the face, neck or body |
| HIFU (focused ultrasound) | Focused ultrasound heats deep layers to tighten and lift | Mild sagging of the jawline, cheeks and neck |
| Laser resurfacing | Laser energy heats the skin and renews the surface | Fine lines, texture and mild laxity |
The right option depends on your skin type, how much laxity you have and your goals. Your doctor will recommend one after examining you. For related treatments, see chemical peels and PRP therapy.
Skin tightening works best for mild to moderate loose skin. Significant sagging usually needs surgery. Darker skin tones need careful device choice and settings because of the risk of pigmentation changes.
Tell the doctor if you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, metal implants or fillers in the treatment area, are pregnant, have an active skin infection or a tendency to keloid scars, or have had recent sunburn. Treatment may be delayed or avoided in these cases.
Redness, warmth and mild swelling are common and usually settle within hours to a few days. Less commonly, burns, blisters, temporary numbness, uneven contour or scarring can occur, and the risk is lower when the treatment is done carefully by a trained doctor.
Most people feel warmth or a tingling or stinging sensation. Numbing cream can be used depending on the treatment.
It depends on the treatment and how loose your skin is. Some treatments are done as a single session, others as a short course. Your doctor will plan this with you.
Results build gradually over weeks to a few months as new collagen forms, and the change is usually subtle.
No. Skin keeps ageing, so results last for a limited time, often a year or more, and maintenance sessions may be needed. Sun protection and skincare help you keep them.
The cost depends on the treatment, the area and the number of sessions. Call +91 95601 08207 to book a consultation and get an estimate.
