If you’ve noticed your skin starting to sag or lose its firmness, you’re not alone. Whether it’s loose skin on your neck, jowls that won’t quit, or arms that don’t bounce back like they used to, aging skin is something most of us deal with eventually. The good news? You don’t need surgery to turn back the clock.
At Manhattan Laser Spa, we specialize in non-surgical skin tightening treatments that help restore your skin’s natural firmness and youthful appearance. Our North Miami Beach medical spa serves residents throughout the area, including Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach, Miami Beach, and Bal Harbour, with FDA-approved technologies that actually work.
Skin tightening is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses advanced energy-based technology to firm and lift loose or sagging skin. Unlike surgical facelifts or body lifts, these treatments require no incisions, no anesthesia, and minimal downtime.
Here’s how it works: The treatment delivers controlled heat deep into your skin’s layers, triggering your body’s natural healing response. This stimulates collagen production and elastin fiber regeneration, which are the building blocks of firm, youthful skin. Over time, your skin tightens, smooths, and lifts naturally from within.
We use two main types of technology at our North Miami Beach facility:
Radiofrequency (RF) Skin Tightening: This method uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of your skin, promoting collagen remodeling and tissue tightening. It’s great for treating wrinkles, fine lines, and mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, and body.
Ultrasound Skin Tightening: Technologies like Ultherapy use focused ultrasound energy to target even deeper layers of tissue (the same layers surgeons work with during a facelift). This creates a powerful lifting effect on sagging skin, particularly effective for the neck, jawline, and brow area.
Both methods are FDA-approved, safe for all skin types, and designed to give you natural-looking results without going under the knife.
Why Choose Non-Surgical Skin Tightening?Maybe you’ve thought about plastic surgery but aren’t ready for that level of commitment. Or perhaps you’ve tried creams and serums that promised miracles but delivered disappointment. Non-surgical skin tightening fills that gap perfectly.
The benefits speak for themselves. There’s no surgery involved, which means no scalpels, no stitches, and no surgical risks. Most people return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. You might have some mild redness for a few hours, but that’s usually it.
Results look natural because your own body does the work. You’re not getting an artificial “pulled” look. Instead, your skin gradually firms up over several months as new collagen forms. Friends might notice you look refreshed and rested, but they won’t be able to pinpoint exactly what changed.
The treatments work on multiple areas of your body. We can target your face, neck, jawline, arms, abdomen, thighs, and even your knees. If you’re dealing with crepey skin or loss of elasticity anywhere on your body, we can help.
Living in North Miami Beach means plenty of sunshine and beach days, but all that Florida sun can accelerate skin aging. Here are the most common concerns our patients come to us with:
Sagging Jowls and Jawline: When the lower face starts to droop, it can add years to your appearance. Skin tightening treatments lift and define the jawline, creating a more sculpted, youthful contour.
Turkey Neck: That loose, hanging skin under your chin and on your neck is one of the most frustrating signs of aging. Neck tightening treatments smooth and firm this area without surgery.
Wrinkles and Fine Lines: While skin tightening isn’t primarily a wrinkle treatment, the collagen stimulation and skin firming effects naturally reduce the appearance of lines, especially around the eyes, forehead, and mouth.
Loose Arm Skin: Many people notice their upper arms start to sag with age or after weight loss. Arm skin tightening can restore firmness without the need for an arm lift surgery.
Belly and Thigh Laxity: After pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or simply with age, the skin on your abdomen and thighs can lose elasticity. Body contouring treatments help tighten and smooth these areas.
Crepey Skin: That thin, wrinkled texture that develops on aging skin responds well to collagen induction therapy and thermal energy treatments.
At Manhattan Laser Spa, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatments. Every patient’s skin is different, and your treatment plan should reflect that.
Your Consultation: Everything starts with a thorough consultation at our North Miami Beach location. We’ll examine your skin, discuss your concerns, and talk about your goals. This is your chance to ask questions and learn exactly what to expect. We’ll assess your skin type, the degree of laxity you’re experiencing, and which treatment areas will give you the best results.
Customized Treatment Planning: Based on your consultation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan. This includes which technology will work best for your needs, how many sessions you’ll likely need, and what kind of timeline you can expect for seeing results. Some patients need just one treatment, while others benefit from a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart.
The Treatment Session: On treatment day, you’ll relax in our comfortable treatment room while our licensed medical professionals work their magic. Depending on the technology used and treatment area, sessions typically last 30 to 90 minutes. Most patients describe the sensation as warm or slightly prickly, but not painful. We can adjust settings to keep you comfortable throughout.
Immediate Aftercare: There’s no real recovery period. You might notice some redness or mild swelling immediately after treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually fades within a few hours. You can return to work, run errands, or head to Oleta River State Park for a walk the same day.
Watching Your Results Develop: Here’s the exciting part. While you might see some immediate tightening, the real magic happens over the next 2 to 6 months. As your body ramps up collagen production, your skin continues to firm and lift. Results can last a year or more, and maintenance treatments can extend your results even further.
Treatment Areas We Specialize InFace and Neck: This is our most popular treatment area. We can address sagging skin on your forehead, around your eyes, on your cheeks, and along your jawline. The neck often shows age first, and our neck tightening treatments can dramatically improve that loose, hanging skin without the cost or downtime of a surgical neck lift.
Décolletage: The chest area is often neglected but shows sun damage and aging just like your face. Treating this area creates a more cohesive, youthful appearance from your face down to your neckline.
Arms and Hands: Upper arm sagging is a common complaint, especially in sleeveless weather (which is most of the year in South Florida). Our treatments can firm this area and help you feel confident showing some skin.
Body Contouring: Beyond the face and neck, we treat the abdomen, thighs, and other body areas where loose skin is a concern. This is especially helpful for patients who’ve lost weight and are dealing with excess skin that won’t tighten on its own.
Choosing where to get aesthetic treatments is a big decision. You’re trusting someone with your appearance and your safety. Here’s what sets us apart in North Miami Beach.
Our facility uses only FDA-approved treatment technologies. We invest in proven systems like Thermage and Ultherapy because they deliver consistent, safe results. No experimental treatments or unproven devices.
Our team consists of licensed medical professionals working under the supervision of board-certified physicians. When you come to a medical spa, you should actually get medical-grade expertise. We provide that.
We’ve served the North Miami Beach community and surrounding areas like Aventura, Sunny Isles, and Miami Gardens for years. Our patients come from Eastern Shores, Sans Souci Estates, and even as far as Hallandale Beach because they trust our expertise.
Every treatment is customized. We don’t push packages or try to sell you services you don’t need. We assess your skin, listen to your goals, and create a plan that makes sense for you.
We’re transparent about pricing, realistic about results, and honest about what skin tightening can and can’t do. If we think a different treatment would serve you better, we’ll tell you.
Let’s be real about expectations. Non-surgical skin tightening isn’t magic, and it’s not the same as a facelift. But for the right candidates, the results can be remarkable.
Immediately after treatment, you might see some minor tightening. But the real transformation happens gradually as your body produces new collagen. Most patients notice visible improvement around the 2 to 3 month mark, with continued improvement up to 6 months post-treatment.
How many sessions will you need? It depends on your starting point and your goals. Some patients achieve their desired results with a single treatment session, especially with ultrasound technology. Others benefit from 2 to 4 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, particularly with radiofrequency treatments.
Results typically last 1 to 2 years, sometimes longer. Your natural aging process continues, of course, but many patients maintain their results with annual maintenance treatments. Think of it like getting regular tune-ups to keep your skin in great shape.
The best candidates are people with mild to moderate skin laxity who want improvement without surgery. If you’re dealing with severe sagging, we’ll be honest about whether skin tightening alone will meet your goals or if you might need to consider other options.
Combining Treatments for Better ResultsMany of our North Miami Beach patients get even better results by combining skin tightening with complementary treatments.
Microneedling pairs beautifully with skin tightening. This collagen induction therapy creates micro-injuries that trigger additional collagen production, enhancing the firming effects of your tightening treatment.
Laser Skin Resurfacing can address surface texture issues like sun damage, age spots, and fine lines while skin tightening works on deeper structural concerns.
Facial Rejuvenation Treatments like dermal fillers can restore volume loss while skin tightening addresses sagging, giving you a comprehensive anti-aging approach.
Cellulite Reduction treatments work well alongside body skin tightening for patients concerned about both skin laxity and dimpled texture on their thighs and buttocks.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss whether combination treatments make sense for your specific concerns and goals.
Safety is paramount at our medical spa. All our technologies are FDA-approved for skin tightening, and our licensed professionals have extensive training in performing these treatments.
Side effects are typically minimal. Most patients experience temporary redness and mild swelling that resolves within a few hours to a day. Some people notice slight tenderness in the treatment area, similar to muscle soreness after a workout. Rarely, patients might have temporary numbness or tingling, which resolves on its own.
Serious complications are extremely rare with non-invasive skin tightening treatments. Because there are no incisions, you don’t have risks like infection or scarring that come with surgery.
We follow strict safety protocols and maintain HIPAA compliance to protect your privacy and wellbeing. Before and after care instructions are provided to optimize your results and minimize any potential side effects.
Our convenient location on Biscayne Boulevard makes Manhattan Laser Spa easily accessible for patients throughout the North Miami Beach area. Whether you’re coming from Greynolds Park, near North Miami Beach City Hall, or from neighboring communities along the Intracoastal Waterway, we’re here to serve you.
We regularly treat patients from Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach, Bay Harbor Islands, North Miami, Miami Beach, Miami Gardens, and Hallandale Beach. Many of our patients discover us while shopping in Aventura or visiting nearby Bal Harbour, and they keep coming back because of the results we deliver.
Living in South Florida means dealing with sun exposure year-round, which can accelerate skin aging. Our local expertise helps us understand the specific skincare concerns facing people in our community.
Most patients describe the sensation as warm or slightly uncomfortable, but not painful. During radiofrequency treatments, you’ll feel warmth as energy heats the deeper layers of your skin. With ultrasound treatments like Ultherapy, some people feel brief prickling or tingling sensations. We adjust settings throughout your treatment to keep you comfortable. Many patients read, listen to music, or even nap during their session. If you’re concerned about discomfort, talk to us during your consultation so we can address it.
Results typically last 1 to 2 years, though this varies by individual. Your lifestyle, age, skin condition, and the natural aging process all play a role. Some patients enjoy results for even longer, especially with good skincare and sun protection. The collagen you produce during treatment doesn’t just disappear overnight. As time passes and you continue aging, you might notice gradual changes. Many patients schedule maintenance treatments every 12 to 18 months to keep their skin looking its best.
There’s no perfect age for skin tightening. We treat patients from their late 20s to their 70s and beyond. Younger patients often come in for preventative treatments or to address early signs of aging like minor jowls or neck laxity. Older patients want to turn back the clock without surgery. The key factor isn’t your age but rather the condition of your skin. During your consultation, we’ll examine your skin quality, degree of laxity, and overall health to determine if you’re a good candidate.
Not exactly, and we’ll always be honest about this. Skin tightening treatments work best for mild to moderate skin laxity. If you have significant sagging or excess skin, you might need surgery to achieve the dramatic results you’re looking for. However, many people aren’t ready for surgery or don’t want the cost, risks, and downtime that come with it. For those patients, skin tightening offers meaningful improvement without going under the knife. Think of it as a middle ground between doing nothing and having surgery.
Both technologies heat tissue to stimulate collagen, but they work at different depths. Radiofrequency energy heats the dermis (the middle layer of skin) and is excellent for treating surface laxity and wrinkles. It works well on the face, neck, and body. Ultrasound technology like Ultherapy penetrates deeper, reaching the SMAS layer that surgeons target during facelifts. This creates a stronger lifting effect and is particularly effective for the brow, neck, and under the chin. We’ll recommend which technology suits your needs based on your treatment areas and goals.
Immediately, in most cases. One of the biggest advantages of non-surgical skin tightening is zero downtime. You might look a bit flushed right after treatment, similar to spending time in the sun, but this typically fades within a few hours. Most people drive themselves home, return to work the same day, or meet friends for lunch. You can wear makeup the next day if treating your face. We do recommend avoiding intense exercise for 24 hours and being diligent with sunscreen, but otherwise, you can resume your normal routine right away.
Yes, skin tightening doesn’t stop the aging process. However, it does set the clock back. The new collagen your body produces improves your skin’s foundation, making it more resilient. Many patients find that maintaining a good skincare routine, protecting their skin from sun damage, and scheduling maintenance treatments helps them age more gracefully overall. Think of it as an investment in your skin’s long-term health and appearance.
If you’re tired of looking in the mirror and seeing sagging skin where there used to be firmness, it’s time to do something about it. Non-surgical skin tightening at Manhattan Laser Spa offers a safe, effective solution without the risks and recovery time of surgery.
