Non-surgical skin tightening and rejuvenation
If your skin has lost some of its firmness, there are options between doing nothing and surgery. Mike Lee Laser & Skin Clinic in Newton-le-Willows offers four non-surgical treatments that aim to tighten, lift and refresh the skin by encouraging your own collagen: Plasma Skin Tightening, HIFU Skin Tightening, Radio Frequency Microneedling and Carbon Skin Rejuvenation.
Plasma Skin Tightening uses an arc of energy that stimulates collagen without direct contact with the skin. HIFU uses focused ultrasound energy to target layers beneath the surface. Radio Frequency Microneedling combines tiny needles with radio frequency energy, and Carbon Skin Rejuvenation pairs a layer of activated carbon with a laser to cleanse and refresh the skin.
What to know before you choose
Treatments differ in how they feel and in how much downtime to allow for afterwards. Plasma Skin Tightening, for example, involves small carbon crusts that fall away naturally, while HIFU and Radio Frequency Microneedling are described as having minimal downtime. Your practitioner explains this for the treatment you are considering.
The clinic offers a free, no-obligation consultation to everyone, whether you are a first-time client or are returning for another service. It is the best place to discuss your goals, find out which option suits your skin and receive a quote before you decide. You can then book online at a time that suits you.
