Skin Tightening Services
Smooth, Tighten, and Enhance Your Skin With Professional Skin Tightening Services
Getting older and developing loose skin is an inevitable universal experience. For many people fearing the judgement from others about jiggling arms, excessive stomach fat, or the loose skin from weight loss, this is a big insecurity. There is a solution for unwanted, sagging skin. As we age, we lose both collagen and elastin in our skin, which is what leads to signs of aging. Skin tightening is a non surgical procedure that heats deep skin layers using advanced lasers and radiofrequency to trigger collagen and elastin production. Collagen and elastin helps to plump, firm, and tighten loose skin. By increasing the production of collagen and elastin under the skin it will tighten your skin in those specific areas.

Secret RF Microneedling
If you find yourself tired of shaving and waxing, laser hair removal is a quicker, easier, and longer-lasting method of hair removal. Unlike waxing, the pain with hair laser removal feels like more of a potential stinging or pinching sensation. Laser hair removal works by using a focused beam of light to target the pigment in the hair follicles. The light damages the hair follicle to remove the hair and hinder the follicle’s ability to grow hair in the future.
Thread Lift
A thread lift skin tightening is when absorbable PDO (polydioxanone) sutures are physically inserted into the skin to lift sagging skin and help to stimulate new collagen production. With new collagen production, you will see skin tighten visibly and lift. Sometimes, as soon as you leave Mariposa. This is one of the top skin tightening treatments that will give incredible results. This treatment has a rapid growth rate every year because of the amazing outcome.
Secret RF Microneedling
Secret RF microneedling combines radio frequency and microneedling in order to stimulate elastin and collagen production.
