Skin tightening is a medical or cosmetic treatment that reduces skin laxity and improves skin firmness and texture. The process involves stimulating the skin’s underlying layers to increase collagen and elastin production, essential proteins that enhance skin elasticity and appearance. Techniques vary widely, ranging from nonsurgical options like the SkinTyte laser, which heats the skin to induce collagen production without cutting the skin, to surgical methods such as facelifts or body lifts requiring incisions and the removal of excess skin for more dramatic reshaping and firming results.
