Skin Tightening Treatment at Tactus Health

Understanding Skin Laxity and How to Restore Firmness

As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity and firmness. You might notice sagging around the jawline, loose skin on the neck, or a softer, less defined look in the face or body. These changes are completely normal, but they can also be frustrating—especially when you feel youthful on the inside.

At Tactus Health, we offer non-surgical skin tightening solutions designed to restore a firmer, more lifted appearance—without surgery or long downtime. Whether you’re looking to tighten early laxity or refresh skin after weight loss, we customize a treatment plan to help you feel confident in your skin again.

What is Skin Laxity?

Skin laxity is the gradual loosening or sagging of the skin caused by a decline in collagen, elastin, and overall skin structure. Collagen provides firmness, while elastin allows skin to stretch and return to shape. Over time, production of these proteins slows down, and the skin becomes thinner, less elastic, and more prone to wrinkles and sagging.

This can show up as loose skin on the lower face (jowls), crepey skin on the neck, wrinkling on the chest, or softening of the abdomen, arms, or thighs. While age is the primary cause, skin laxity can also result from sun damage, weight loss, hormonal changes, or genetics.

What Causes Skin to Lose Firmness?

The most common cause of skin laxity is the natural aging process. Beginning in our mid-20s, collagen production starts to decline by about 1% each year. By the time we reach our 40s and 50s, this loss becomes more noticeable—especially in areas where skin is thin or has been exposed to the sun.

Other contributing factors include chronic sun exposure, which breaks down collagen fibers; smoking, which reduces circulation and oxygen to the skin; hormonal shifts; and significant weight changes that stretch skin beyond its ability to bounce back. Dehydration, poor sleep, and inflammation can also make the skin appear looser and more tired.

How We Tighten Skin at Tactus Health

At Tactus Health, we take a science-based approach to non-invasive skin tightening. Our goal is to restore firmness by stimulating your body’s natural collagen and elastin production. We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your skin type, treatment area, and overall goals. Then we create a custom plan using the most effective, FDA-cleared technologies available.

Most of our treatments work by delivering energy—through heat, radiofrequency, or ultrasound—into the deeper layers of skin. This energy triggers the body’s healing response, which rebuilds collagen and tightens connective tissue over time. These treatments are safe, gentle, and can be used on the face, neck, and body with little to no downtime.

We also provide long-term guidance to help maintain results with medical-grade skincare and supportive home routines that keep your skin strong, hydrated, and resilient.

What to Expect From Treatment

Skin tightening is a gradual process. Most treatments work by stimulating internal collagen remodeling, so visible improvement builds over several weeks to months. You may notice a smoother, firmer feel after just one session, but full results often develop over 8–12 weeks as your skin regenerates.

Depending on your treatment plan, you may need a series of sessions to achieve optimal results. During your consultation, we’ll explain what to expect, how long results typically last, and how we can maintain them with supportive care.

Our goal isn’t to change how you look—it’s to restore what’s naturally yours: healthy, strong, confident skin that reflects how vibrant you feel on the inside.

Skin Tightening Treatments We Offer

RF Microneedling

Uses radiofrequency energy and fine needles to stimulate deep collagen production, firm loose skin, and refine texture with minimal downtime.

Ultrasound Skin Tightening

Targets deeper layers of tissue to lift and firm areas like the jawline, neck, and décolleté by rebuilding collagen from within.

Laser Skin Tightening

Delivers gentle thermal energy to the dermis to contract tissue and trigger collagen remodeling for a smoother, firmer skin surface.

Medical-grade Peels

Improve mild laxity by resurfacing the skin and encouraging collagen turnover while brightening and tightening the overall tone.

Radiofrequency Skin Tightening

Gently heats the deeper dermis to contract collagen fibers, smooth loose neck skin, and stimulate firming over time.

Topical Firming Treatments

Peptides, retinoids, and growth factors strengthen skin over time when used consistently as part of your at-home regimen.
