What’s the Best Way to Tighten and Lift Facial Skin without Surgery?
One of the most frustrating effects of aging is the appearance of loose skin, especially around your lower face and jowls. This area can start to show the effects of time much earlier than others. Fortunately, individuals with mild to moderate sagging skin can see dramatic improvements with non-surgical skin tightening treatments.
What Causes Sagging Skin?
Several factors contribute to facial skin laxity, but the most important is the loss of collagen and elastin as a natural result of aging. This loss, which starts in your 30s, results in skin that has less support and less ability to rebound after stretching. Another factor is the loss of facial volume, creating loose skin that sags downward.

What’s the Best Way to Tighten and Lift Facial Skin Without Surgery?
Fractional treatments such as lasers or microneedling are among the most popular ways to tighten and lift your skin. These treatments work by creating channels or areas of controlled damage to the skin while leaving the surrounding areas unaffected.
Opus™ Plasma is an innovative fractional treatment that uses a combination of micro-fractional radiofrequency and plasma energy. It offers the same benefits as older methods but with minimal downtime and the most customizable treatment options.
Along with lifting and tightening sagging skin, Opus™ Plasma also treats concerns like:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven texture
- Hyperpigmentation
- Sun damage
This treatment provides complete skin rejuvenation, leading to skin that looks tighter, smoother, and more even-toned.
How Does Opus™ Plasma Work for Skin Tightening?
During an Opus™ Plasma treatment, a handpiece moves over your skin. This handpiece has tiny pins that never enter your skin. Radiofrequency energy travels through these pins and energizes the air around them, forming plasma that makes contact with the skin for a fraction of a second.
This energy creates a tiny area of damage, and the skin cells around it react with healing and growth factors that flood the area. This reaction promotes new collagen formation that tightens and lifts your skin while smoothing its texture.

Is There Any Downtime After Opus™ Plasma?
Your skin’s reaction after Opus™ Plasma can vary based on the intensity of your treatment. In general, people experience one to two days of redness, sensitivity, and minor flaking. We will recommend products to apply during this time to keep your skin comfortable and protect it. Wear sunscreen after treatment to prevent UV light from damaging your developing collagen.
How Many Skin Tightening Treatments Will I Need?
While you will often start to see results within a few weeks of your first Opus™ Plasma treatment, most people will need two to three sessions to see maximum skin tightening. Most people will benefit from an annual maintenance session to keep their skin firm and smooth. We can recommend Obagi Skincare products to help your results last longer.
