If you’ve noticed your skin doesn’t bounce back like it used to, you’re not alone. Loose skin, sagging jowls, and that frustrating loss of firmness happen to everyone as we age. But here’s the good news: you don’t need surgery to turn back the clock.
At Manhattan Laser Spa in Aventura, we specialize in advanced skin tightening treatments that actually work. Our medical-grade technology stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, giving you firmer, younger-looking skin without downtime or going under the knife.
Whether you’re dealing with sagging skin on your face, neck, or body, we’ve helped countless Aventura residents achieve the results they want. Let’s talk about how we can help you feel confident in your skin again.
Skin tightening is a non-invasive procedure that uses controlled thermal energy to firm and lift loose skin. Think of it as a workout for your skin. The treatment heats the deeper layers of your skin, which triggers your body to produce fresh collagen and elastin. These are the proteins that keep your skin tight and youthful.
Over time (usually a few months), you’ll notice gradual improvement as your skin naturally tightens from within. No scalpels, no stitches, no lengthy recovery.
How Does It Work?
Here’s what actually happens during treatment. We use FDA-cleared devices that deliver radiofrequency energy, ultrasound technology, or infrared light therapy to the subdermal layers of your skin. This controlled heating causes something called fibroblast activation, which kickstarts neocollagenesis (the fancy term for new collagen growth).
Your body responds by remodeling the dermal tissue, creating firmer, tighter skin over the following weeks and months. It’s not magic. It’s science working with your body’s natural healing process.

Located right here in Aventura, we’re easily accessible whether you’re coming from Williams Island, Aventura Circle, or anywhere along the Biscayne Boulevard corridor. Many of our clients stop by after shopping at Aventura Mall or grab lunch at Waterways Shoppes before their appointment.
We also serve clients from North Miami Beach, Sunny Isles Beach, Hallandale Beach, and throughout South Florida.
Wondering if skin tightening is right for you? Here are the issues we help people with every day:
Facial Aging: Loose skin around the jawline, sagging jowls, marionette lines, and nasolabial folds respond beautifully to treatment. Many clients come to us wanting to address that “jowly” look without a facelift.
Neck and Décolletage: The neck is often the first place to show age. Crepey skin, horizontal neck lines, and loose skin on the chest area can all be improved with targeted skin tightening.
Post-Weight Loss Skin: Lost weight but left with loose skin? We help tighten skin on the abdomen, arms, thighs, and other areas where weight loss has left skin lax.
Sun Damage: Years of Florida sunshine can take a toll. Skin tightening treatments help reverse some of that damage by promoting fresh collagen growth and improving skin texture.
General Loss of Elasticity: Even if you can’t point to one specific area, that overall loss of firmness and tone happens to everyone. Skin tightening brings back definition and contour.
Treatment Areas We Specialize InAt Manhattan Laser Spa, we can treat virtually any area where you’re experiencing skin laxity:
Face: Forehead, cheeks, jawline, and around the eyes
Neck: Full neck tightening to eliminate that “turkey neck” appearance
Body: Abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs, buttocks, and knees
Décolletage: Chest and upper breast area
Hands: Yes, even hands can benefit from tightening treatments
Most people focus on their face and neck, but we’ve seen amazing results on body areas too. During your complimentary consultation, we’ll assess which areas will benefit most from treatment.
We don’t cut corners on equipment. Here’s what we use:
Radiofrequency (RF) Devices
RF technology is the gold standard for skin tightening. It delivers controlled thermal energy deep into the skin, heating the tissue to the perfect temperature for collagen stimulation without damaging the surface. Our bipolar radiofrequency systems offer precise control and consistent results.
Ultrasound Skin Tightening
Ultrasound technology (like Ultherapy) goes even deeper, reaching the foundational layers that surgeons target during a facelift. It’s particularly effective for the neck, under-chin area, and brow lifting.
Fractional RF Microneedling
This combines two powerful technologies. Tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries while delivering radiofrequency energy directly into the dermis. It’s incredibly effective for tightening and resurfacing at the same time.
Infrared Light Therapy
Infrared energy penetrates deep to stimulate collagen while keeping you comfortable throughout treatment. Many clients find this the most relaxing option.
Each technology has its strengths, and we’ll recommend the best fit based on your skin type, concerns, and goals.
What to Expect During Your TreatmentLet’s walk through what actually happens when you come in for skin tightening at our Aventura location.
Your Consultation
First, we’ll sit down and talk about what’s bothering you. What areas do you want to improve? What are your goals? We’ll examine your skin, discuss your medical history, and explain which treatments will work best for you. This consultation is free, and there’s no pressure. We want you to feel informed and confident.
Treatment Day
On the day of your appointment, we’ll start by cleansing the treatment area. Depending on the technology we’re using and your comfort level, we may apply a topical numbing cream. Most people don’t need it, but it’s available if you want it.
During the actual treatment, you’ll feel warmth as the device moves across your skin. Some areas might feel like a hot stone massage, while others might have a slight snapping sensation. Most clients describe it as tolerable and even relaxing. We use cooling systems to keep you comfortable throughout.
Sessions typically last 30 to 90 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area.
Immediately After
You might have some redness or slight swelling right after treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually fades within a few hours. Some people go straight back to work or their daily activities. That’s the beauty of non-invasive procedures.
We’ll send you home with post-treatment care instructions and medical-grade skincare products to support your results.
Honestly, it depends on your starting point and your goals. Most people see noticeable improvement after one session, but we typically recommend a series of three to five treatments for optimal results. We space these out over several weeks to allow your collagen to build gradually.
Some clients maintain their results with occasional touch-up sessions once or twice a year. During your consultation, we’ll create a multi-session treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs.
Here’s the thing about skin tightening: results don’t happen overnight. This isn’t like getting Botox where you see changes in a few days. The improvements develop gradually as your body produces new collagen.
You’ll start noticing subtle changes around two to three weeks after treatment. The real transformation happens over the next three to six months as neocollagenesis continues. Your skin will look firmer, tighter, and more lifted. Fine lines soften, jowls lift, and that overall saggy appearance improves.
Results typically last 12 to 18 months, sometimes longer with proper skincare and maintenance treatments. Because we’re stimulating your body’s natural processes, the results look natural. Nobody will know you had work done unless you tell them.
Skin Tightening vs. Other TreatmentsPeople often ask how skin tightening compares to other anti-aging procedures. Here’s the breakdown:
Good candidates for skin tightening include people with:
Age isn’t the deciding factor. We’ve treated clients in their 30s addressing early signs of aging and clients in their 70s maintaining their appearance. What matters is your skin’s condition and your goals.
That said, skin tightening isn’t ideal if you’re pregnant, have certain medical conditions, or have active skin infections in the treatment area. We’ll discuss all of this during your consultation.
Taking care of your skin after treatment helps maximize and maintain your results. Here’s what we recommend:
Sun Protection: This is crucial. UV exposure breaks down collagen, which defeats the purpose of treatment. Use SPF 30 or higher every single day, even when it’s cloudy. This is Florida, after all.
Medical-Grade Skincare: We’ll recommend products that support collagen production and skin health. Quality skincare isn’t optional if you want lasting results.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water. Hydrated skin is healthier skin, and your body needs water for the healing and rebuilding process.
Avoid Extreme Heat: Skip saunas, hot tubs, and intense exercise for 24 to 48 hours after treatment to let your skin calm down.
Follow Up: We’ll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan if needed.
Our clients come from all over South Florida, but many live right here in Aventura. We’ve helped professionals who work near Turnberry Isle Resort, retirees enjoying life at Williams Island, and busy parents from neighborhoods along Country Club Drive.
What they all have in common is wanting to look as young as they feel without surgery. During your consultation, we can show you our before-and-after gallery so you can see the kinds of results we achieve.
We believe everyone should have access to treatments that make them feel confident. That’s why we offer flexible financing options to fit various budgets. During your consultation, we’ll provide transparent pricing and discuss payment plans if you’re interested.
Most people describe the sensation as warm and tolerable. You’ll feel heat as the device moves across your skin, and some areas might have a slight prickly feeling, but it’s not painful. We can apply topical numbing cream if you’re concerned about discomfort, though most clients don’t need it. The treatment is designed to be comfortable enough that you can relax throughout the session.
Results typically last 12 to 18 months, and sometimes longer depending on your age, skin condition, and how well you take care of your skin afterward. Because the treatment stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, you’re creating real structural improvements that aren’t just temporary. Many clients schedule maintenance treatments once or twice a year to keep their results looking fresh.
Absolutely. Many of our Aventura clients combine skin tightening with treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, laser resurfacing, or microneedling for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Skin tightening addresses structural laxity, while other treatments target volume loss, wrinkles, or texture issues. During your consultation, we’ll discuss which combination would work best for your specific concerns and create a customized plan.
Both technologies heat the deeper layers of your skin to stimulate collagen, but they work slightly differently. Radiofrequency (RF) delivers thermal energy through the skin’s surface and is excellent for treating larger areas and body skin. It’s versatile and comfortable. Ultrasound technology penetrates deeper, reaching the foundational layers that surgeons target during facelifts. It’s particularly effective for lifting the brow, neck, and under-chin area. We’ll recommend the best technology based on your treatment area and goals.
Not really. You might have some redness or mild swelling immediately after treatment that looks like a slight sunburn, but this typically fades within a few hours. Most people return to work and regular activities right away. You should avoid intense exercise and extreme heat for about 24 hours, but otherwise, you’re good to go. That’s one of the biggest advantages over surgical options, which require weeks of recovery.
Yes. Because skin tightening works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, the improvements develop gradually over several months. This creates a natural, refreshed appearance rather than a drastic overnight change. People will notice you look great, but they won’t be able to pinpoint exactly what you had done. You’ll still look like yourself, just a firmer, more youthful version.
