Skin Tightening
Lift. Firm. Sculpt.
Healthy, youthful skin is firm because it is supported by a strong network of collagen and elastin. Over time, that support gradually weakens. The result isn't simply "loose skin"—it's a progressive loss of elasticity, firmness, and structural support that changes the way the skin looks, feels, and ages.
At SkinMed Institute, skin tightening is approached as a process of rebuilding the skin's foundation—not simply heating tissue. Every treatment is personally selected, designed, and performed by Dr. Mona Sadeghpour, a board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained laser surgeon, based on your skin biology, degree of laxity, anatomy, and long-term goals.
Our Philosophy: Restore Strength, Not Just Tightness.
Beautiful skin isn't simply tighter—it is stronger, healthier and more resilient.
During your Assessment & Planning session, Dr. Sadeghpour is able to assess what type of intervention will yield the most effective results for your degree of skin laxity. Some patients are not an ideal candidate for non-invasive skin tightening, and in those cases Dr. Sadeghpour will transparently give you that assessment and make a referral if necessary for surgical intervention. The foundation of our practice lies in transparency and delivering excellent results. Most importantly, because we truly understand the ins and outs of skin biology we are able to combine treatments that will produce the most natural, long-lasting results that sometimes can make surgical interventions unnecessary.
Our goal is to help your skin gradually rebuild the strength and elasticity that support healthy aging.

Our Treatment Toolbox
Sofwave®
Sofwave is one of the most advanced non-invasive skin tightening technologies available today. Using proprietary SUPERB™ ultrasound technology, it delivers precisely controlled energy to the mid-dermis—the optimal depth for stimulating new collagen—while protecting the skin's surface.
Unlike many skin tightening devices that rely on deeper tissue heating, Sofwave is designed to improve skin firmness by activating your body's natural collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production with minimal downtime and a favorable safety profile across a broad range of skin tones without undesired effects such as melting of fat, which we need!
For patients seeking visible improvement without surgery, Sofwave has become one of the leading physician-recommended technologies for lifting and tightening the face and neck, with results backed by strong science, demonstrated clinical efficacy, and growing recognition among both physicians and high-profile patients.
Fraxel® Dual (1550 nm)
While widely recognized for improving skin texture and scars, the 1550 nm Fraxel wavelength is also an excellent collagen-stimulating treatment. By creating controlled microscopic treatment zones within the dermis, Fraxel encourages new collagen remodeling while improving fine lines, skin texture, pore appearance, and overall skin quality.
For many patients, combining technologies produces more comprehensive rejuvenation than relying on a single treatment alone.
Depending on your anatomy and long-term goals, energy-based treatments may also be combined with biostimulatory injectable therapies to create a comprehensive collagen-building strategy.
