What Is Skin Tightening?
Skin tightening treatments are non-invasive and aim to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production to enhance the firmness and smoothness of your skin. This technique can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging and promote a more youthful complexion without surgical interventions. By using various energy devices, skin tightening treatments encourage your skin to rejuvenate itself from within.
How Does Skin Tightening Work?
The Exilis Protégé skin tightening system can smooth wrinkles and fine lines, as well as tighten and improve the overall quality and texture of the skin. It does so using the power of radiofrequency waves to stimulate collagen production. Collagen is an important component of the skin that makes it tight, smooth, and youthful-looking.
What Are the Benefits of Skin Tightening?
- Enhanced Skin Texture: By boosting collagen production, skin tightening improves skin texture and makes it smoother and more refined.
- Non-Invasive Treatment: Skin tightening treatments do not involve surgery, which means they carry fewer risks and avoid incisions, scars, and general anesthetic.
- No Downtime Required: You can return to your daily activities immediately after a session, as treatments aimed at improving skin laxity do not require recovery time.
- Suitable for All Skin Types: Diverse skin tightening methods are suitable and effective across different skin tones and types.
- Quick Treatment Sessions: Sessions are brief, typically lasting under an hour, making loose skin tightening a convenient option even for busy schedules.
- Visible Results After Few Sessions: Although results can vary, many patients see significant improvement in their skin tightening treatment outcomes after just a few sessions.
What Should I Expect From My Skin Tightening Treatment?
During the session, a device is used to deliver radiofrequency energy to the targeted areas. This process heats the deeper layers of skin, encouraging collagen production without damaging the surface. Each treatment session usually lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated, and is generally described as feeling like a warm stone massage.
There are some possible side effects associated with treatment, but they are typically mild. Common side effects include redness and irritation at the site of treatment that should subside within a few days. Contact your doctor if you experience any bruising.
FAQs About Skin Tightening With Exilis Protégé

- Face: Face skin tightening using the Exilis Protégé effectively targets loose skin and fine lines, resulting in a smoother, more contoured facial appearance.
- Knees: The treatment can firm the skin around your knees, diminishing the sagging that often comes with age or weight fluctuation.
- Buttocks: This technique is ideal for enhancing the firmness and shape of the buttocks, providing a lifted, more youthful look.

- Chest: The treatment can also be applied to the chest area, tightening skin and enhancing tone, which is especially beneficial for those showing signs of aging or after significant weight loss.
Is Skin Tightening Painful?
Many patients worry that an Exilis Protégé treatment will be painful or uncomfortable. Fortunately, the Exilis Protégé treatment is uniquely designed to be painless and comfortable. No needles or injections are involved in the treatment, and most patients do not require an anesthetic before undergoing treatment. This skin tightening treatment is so uniquely comfortable because it incorporates cooling technology that prevents damage to the upper layers of the skin.
How Many Skin Tightening Sessions Will I Need?
Typically, two to four skin tightening treatment sessions are recommended based on the area and condition being treated. These treatments are each scheduled no less than one to two weeks apart to give your skin time to recover from the previous treatment.
When Will I See My Skin Tightening Results?
The full improvements of treatment can be seen three months after its completion. These results have the potential to last over two years. To keep skin laxity at bay and maintain your results for longer, it is recommended that you undergo a maintenance session once per year.
