Our skin loses essential collagen and elastin as we age, which keeps our skin elastic and firm. Loose skin can occur anywhere throughout the body, but most patients want to seek advanced treatment for skin laxity in the face. At Dr Refresh, we have the best non-invasive or nonsurgical treatments available in Ultimo to tighten up your skin!
We customise your treatment plan using various treatments to your individual needs and skin type. You might experience the noninvasive contouring of Emface, or Ultraformer, or the highly effective resurfacing of our laser devices. No matter what treatment you receive, our specialist dermatologists will make certain that you find the highest quality skin tightening in Ultimo at Dr Refresh.

Step 1: Consultation
Before receiving treatment at Dr Refresh, we ask that our patients come in for a consultation to meet with Dr Ritu Gupta or her associate dermatologists, who are specialist medical and cosmetic dermatologists, or one of her nurses and therapists. At this consultation in Ultimo, we want to hear from you and learn more about your concerns. We take this time to develop a treatment plan and determine how our options for skin tightening may help you.
Step 2: Treatment
After outlining your treatment program, we will move forward with your next steps. Each patient may undergo different treatments to achieve their desired results. These may include Emface, HIFU, noninvasive facial contouring, laser resurfacing, biostimulator injections, and more. Regardless of which treatment you receive, we will instruct you on proper preparation and aftercare to protect your skin and make the most of your results.
Step 3: Follow-Up
Many patients have a series of appointments to reduce their skin laxity. You may have some aftercare steps to follow, but you’ll be able to soon enjoy your noticeably tightened skin after visiting Dr Refresh in Ultimo!
Emface
Emface is a noninvasive procedure that utilizes high-intensity focused electrical stimulation (HIFES) to tone your facial muscles and increase collagen, producing a lifted and tightened effect.
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)
We use a high-intensity focused ultrasound device to heat the skin cells to lift and tighten the skin.
Resurfacing Lasers
Because our Erbium and CO2 laser devices stimulate collagen production at a deeper level in the skin, it encourages your skin to regain some of its vital elasticity.
Picosecond Laser
A Picosecond laser uses brief pulses to boost collagen and help eliminate skin laxity in a 15- to 20-minute treatment.
RF Microneedling
By simultaneously heating and pricking the skin, RF microneedling can stimulate collagen at a deeper level and firm the skin.
Collagen Stimulating Treatments
One of the most ingenious anti-aging methods motivates new collagen and tissue growth to reduce loose skin and improve skin integrity.
Emtone
Emtone utilizes radiofrequency and targeted pressure to smooth away cellulite and improve your skin’s appearance.

What causes skin laxity?
Skin laxity most commonly comes from a decrease in collagen, especially with age, but there are certain factors that accelerate this process. Excessive sun damage or smoking can destroy the fibers in your skin and inhibit your body’s collagen production. You might have excess skin after undergoing weight loss. No matter the reason behind your loose skin, we can determine a skin tightening solution for you at Dr Refresh in Ultimo.
Who can receive treatments for skin tightening in Ultimo?
Almost anyone is a good candidate for skin tightening! Skin of any colour can be treated with our non-invasive devices. Our variety of procedures, ranging from non-invasive contouring to skin resurfacing, means that we can find a treatment that will work for you and your skin needs. We can evaluate what is best for you at your initial consultation.
What if I only have loose skin on certain areas of my face?
We can target specific areas of your face through precise methods like laser resurfacing or biostimulators. This ensures you achieve the tightened effect wherever you would like, although many patients can benefit from boosted collagen everywhere on their skin if they have full face treatment.

Every treatment at our practice is performed by Dr Ritu, her associate dermatologists, or her exceptionally trained and skilled clinicians who take the time to understand you and your concerns.
