Technology for the treatment of loose and sagging skin has dramatically improved in recent years. At Gentle Touch, we can treat this tissue on all parts of the face and body.

Skin tightening uses infrared & RF (radio frequency) technology to increase collagen production, which results in a firming and contouring of the skin. The treatment is gentle and safe with minimal or no down time.

The effectiveness of this treatment will depend on your age, lifestyle and current levels of collagen. Your expert technician will help determine whether skin tightening is the right treatment you.

After years of being bothered by the loose skin on my neck, I finally decided to try skin tightening at Gentle Touch. The results were fantastic! I'm no longer trying to hide my sagging skin with turtlenecks. I just can't believe that I didn't do it sooner!

Frequently Asked Questions
What areas can be treated?
We can treat any area in which you are experiencing loose or sagging skin. The most popular treatment areas are the face, neck, abdomen, thighs, and upper arms.
What types of skin can be treated using skin tightening technology?
Skin tightening can be safely performed on all skin types and colours. However, its effectiveness will depend upon such factors as your age, lifestyle and current levels of collagen. During your free consultation, your technician will help determine whether skin tightening is the right treatment for you.
How does skin tightening work?
Skin tightening uses infrared and RF (radio frequency) technology to gently heat the targeted area within the skin. This causes the collagen fibres to contract and multiply for a firmer, tighter appearance. Where the collagen fibres were once scattered with excess fluid and fat cells, they are now "reorganized," closer together and closer to the surface, resulting in a tightening of the tissue and more youthful look.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments varies from person to person, and depends on the size of the area being treated. Although you will see visible results after one treatment, most clients opt for three to five treatments for the best possible results.
Does skin tightening require any down time?
Skin tightening is both gentle and safe, and requires minimal or no down time. You can resume your normal activities immediately following your treatment..
