Fotona 4D is a non-surgical laser facelift that tightens the lower face from inside the mouth and firms skin across the face and neck over a short course. Choose it if you have early sagging or fine lines and want no downtime; it will not lift heavy jowls.
SmoothEye is an eyelid laser that tightens crepey upper and lower lid skin and softens crow’s feet, with no incisions or injections. Choose it if the skin around your eyes is lined or slightly loose; heavy hooding needs eyelid surgery instead.
LipLase is a lip laser that makes the lips look fuller and better defined by stimulating your own collagen, with no injections. Choose it if you want a subtle, natural change; it adds less volume than lip filler.
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency heat to tighten skin and improve texture and acne scars on the face, neck and body, with no incisions. Choose it if you have mild looseness or uneven texture; a course of treatments works best.
FaceTite tightens loose skin along the jawline, jowls and neck from beneath, using radiofrequency through a tiny entry point under local anaesthetic. Choose it if you have mild to moderate sagging but are not ready for a facelift; the lift is smaller than surgery gives.
BodyTite removes fat and tightens the skin over it in one treatment, using radiofrequency through small entry points on the tummy, flanks, arms or thighs. Choose it if you have stubborn fat with mild skin looseness; a large overhang needs surgery such as a tummy tuck.
Argo Plasma tightens loose skin from beneath the surface using plasma energy, on its own or alongside liposuction. Choose it if mild looseness remains on the neck, arms, tummy or thighs and you want to avoid a long scar; marked excess skin still needs removing.
CelluTite treats cellulite by releasing the fibrous bands that pull the skin into dimples, then firming the skin with plasma energy in the same session. Choose it if you have visible dimples on the thighs or buttocks; it improves cellulite rather than removing it completely.
TightSculpting is a body laser that reduces small pockets of stubborn fat, tightens loose skin and smooths cellulite in one session, with no needles or downtime. Choose it if you are close to your goal weight; it suits modest changes, not large fat volumes.
Skin tightening works in one of two ways: heating the skin from the surface to build new collagen, or delivering energy beneath the skin to contract the deeper layer that holds it in place. Which suits you depends on what has changed and where:
Yes, for the right degree of looseness. Energy-based treatments build collagen gradually, so results develop over two to six months and are subtler than surgery. They work best for mild to moderate laxity. Where skin hangs in folds, a facelift, neck lift or tummy tuck removes it, and we will tell you at consultation if surgery is the more effective answer.
Most results last from one to several years, depending on the treatment, your age and how your skin continues to age. Laser and microneedling treatments are usually given as a course and topped up once a year, while FaceTite, BodyTite and Argo Plasma tend to last longer because they work on the deeper layer. Sun protection and a stable weight help results last.
Skin tightening firms the skin. Where the problem is the surface itself, such as deeper wrinkles, sun damage or acne scarring, laser resurfacing removes a fine layer of skin and makes a bigger change, with a few days to two weeks of recovery. The two are often combined; see our skin and scar treatments.
Treatments take place at our Baker Street hospital, rated Good overall by the Care Quality Commission. Because the same team also offers surgery, you are recommended the treatment that suits your skin rather than the one a clinic happens to own.
