Fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of aging can be frustrating. That’s why more people are turning to effective ways to minimize these concerns. When creams and commercial beauty products aren’t enough, skin tightening treatments may be the solution.
Today, several non-surgical skin tightening treatments use advanced technologies like heat and radiofrequency to improve skin appearance with minimal risks and downtime without compromising results.
Let’s find out which treatment is best for your skin type by learning more about the skin tightening treatments that deliver proven results at Novique Medical Aesthetics.
RadioFrequency (RF) Skin Tightening
Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening is a non-invasive and nonsurgical skin tightening and anti-aging treatment. It uses radiofrequency energy to heat the skin to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. This treatment is one of the safest ways to help restore lost skin elasticity and collagen production.
Morpheus8: Novique’s RF Skin Tightening Treatment
Novique’s Morpheus8 RF skin tightening treatment focuses on the use of micro pins to deliver RF deep within the skin. This process resurfaces the skin’s outermost layer and stimulates the natural collagen production. This treatment isn’t just for the face; it can be used on other areas of the body where you want firmer, smoother skin.
How Does Morpheus8 Treatment Work?
Morpheus8 treatment forgoes the need for administering anesthesia to proceed with the treatment. Instead, one of our professionals applies a topical numbing cream to the areas you wish to improve. After topical numbing cream application, a special device with micro pins is used to deliver radiofrequency energy, heating the skin and increasing collagen production.
Before the treatment, our specialist will talk to you about your aesthetic goals. Since the tips of the device features vary in depth, it is essential for the professional to assess and ensure that your goals are met.
How Long Does Morpheus8 Treatment Take?
It usually lasts for about one and a half hours, though it depends on the size of the area to be treated. You can return to work and daily activities after the treatment, as it has no downtime.
Morpheus8 skin tightening is highly sought after for these benefits:
- Smooths fine lines and wrinkles
- Tightens loose, sagging skin
- Boosts collagen and elastin production
- Improves skin tone and texture
- Reduces acne scars and stretch marks
- Minimally invasive with little downtime
- Safe for all skin tones
- Long-lasting, natural-looking results
Does RF Skin Tightening Work?
When performed by a certified professional using FDA-approved equipment like Morpheus8, RF skin tightening is a safe, non-invasive alternative to surgical cosmetic procedures. It offers noticeable improvements with less risk and downtime compared to surgical skin tightening.
Laser Skin Tightening
Another way to tighten the skin is by using an infrared light device to heat the skin and promote natural collagen and elastin production. Aside from its powerful anti-aging benefits, laser skin tightening also helps regenerate damaged skin cells, minimizing fine lines and age spots.

SkinTyte Laser Skin Tightening
This type of laser tightening treatment offers fast and effective results for all skin types. If you think RF skin tightening treatment is too much for you, laser treatments, such as SkinTyte, can be an option. The name is a word play of the words “skin tight” and promises to deliver just that—tighter skin.
How Does SkinTyte Work?
SkinTyte works by using an advanced infrared light technology and filters to deeply heat dermal collagen. Patients don’t need to worry about damaged skin barriers, as it comes with sapphire contact cooling to protect the treated epidermis.
Contrary to the Morpheus8 offered by Novique, SkinTyte does not rely on a topical anesthetic. The energy from the infrared technology is delivered in rapid, gentle pulses to promote skin contraction and clumping of collagen. It leads to a more tightened and firmer skin appearance since it relies on the body’s natural healing process.
How Long Do SkinTyte Results Last?
Noticeable results can take up to 18 months, depending on various factors such as hormone deficiencies, diet, sun exposure, and smoking. We advise having multiple treatments to achieve your desired results.
Patients don’t need to worry about needing to stay home after treatment. SkinTyte offers no downtime, so you can resume your regular activities immediately after treatment.
Sciton Halo Laser Skin Tightening
One of the most intriguing treatments we offer is the Sciton Halo laser skin tightening treatment. The HALO treatment is the first hybrid fractional laser, merging the powerful elements of ablative fractional resurfacing and non-ablative fractional resurfacing.
How Does Sciton Halo Work?
Ablative fractional resurfacing, often referred to as CO2 lasers, uses an intense wavelength of light to remove the outer layer of the skin and heat the underlying skin, stimulating new collagen growth. While it is more invasive than non-ablative fractional resurfacing, it is considered as the most powerful facial skin treatment with results often permanent.
Alternatively, non-ablative fractional resurfacing is less invasive. It works by delivering a precise wavelength of light underneath the skin surface, resulting in a more controlled injury. It promotes cell renewal and collagen production without damaging the skin surface.
How Long Do Sciton Halo Results Last?
Results from HALO laser skin tightening treatments typically last 1 to 2 years. Longevity depends on your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you care for your skin afterward.
