One of the most common misconceptions our team at Laser Skin Solutions Jacksonville is confronted with as skin tightening experts is the idea that you have to be of a certain (more advanced) age to fully benefit from skin tightening and wrinkle treatments. In truth, continued refinements in skin tightening technology have allowed clinicians like ourselves to treat a wider variety of both subtle and dramatic skin concerns, many of which affect people as early as their 30s.
In other words, there’s no reason to limit yourself if you happen to be in a younger demographic, and are looking to make a change aesthetically speaking. Likewise, the skin tightening treatments we proudly offer to our Jacksonville Beach, FL patients can also accommodate patients well into their 50s and beyond. Read on for a complete breakdown of the treatments we offer, how they work, and how to get the most out of them.
Who Are Skin Tightening Treatments For?
Skin tightening treatments are for anyone who has noticed significant skin laxity affecting the face or body, which can manifest in several ways beyond the obvious (the appearance of drooping skin). For example, loose skin is also closely associated with fine lines and wrinkles, as both issues are connected to a loss of the skin’s natural elasticity.
As such, patients of all ages, body types, and skin types stand to benefit from skin tightening treatments. By promoting collagen and elastin production (more on this below), skin tightening improves both the firmness of the skin as well as fine lines, among other issues.

Ultherapy
Ultherapy is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses highly focused ultrasound energy to penetrate into the deeper layers of skin in order to stimulate key healing processes. As the ultrasound energy is applied to these deeper tissue layers, it creates tiny, controlled “micro-injuries.” This causes the skin to react by producing collagen and elastin, both of which are vital for enhancing the taut, firm, and youthful texture and appearance to the skin.
Key benefits of this anti-aging treatment include its safe and non-invasive nature, the lack of downtime (little to no downtime is required), and the ability to comprehensively treat wrinkles alongside sagging skin. Another major advantage to Ultherapy is its ability to promote a continued improvement in results over time, which is due to the collagen fibers maturing and proliferating.
Finally, Ultherapy is used by patients in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s. Those in the younger demographics typically use Ultherapy as a preventive anti-aging treatment, where the middle and later age groups use it to treat more advanced cases of skin laxity and related issues.
Secret RF
The “RF” in Secret RF stands for radiofrequency. This treatment combines microneedling—a well-established treatment platform for a variety of skin issues—and radiofrequency energy to accommodate an even wider range of aesthetic concerns while targeting multiple tissue depths. Like Ultherapy, the premise behind microneedling involves stimulating the body’s healing responses. In this case, tiny needles poke the surface of the skin, and the RF energy is delivered through the needles to enhance the healing response.
Secret RF is a highly effective, non-surgical treatment that improves skin laxity, acne scars, stretch marks, fine lines, sun damage, oversized pores, and much more. This is one of the most comprehensive wrinkle treatments on the market, which makes it a very appealing option for a wide variety of patients. Speaking of, patients as young as their early 30s can benefit from Secret RF, as well as patients well beyond the age of 50. Secret RF can be customized to act as a neck wrinkle treatment, a frown line solution, and much more.
Cutera Titan®
Where microneedling uses fine needles, Cutera Titan® relies on infrared energy to heat the deeper tissue layers underneath the surface of the skin. The use of light energy ensures that the heating effect is both targeted and evenly applied. Like the previously mentioned treatments, this controlled perturbation of the tissues prompts the body to engage important healing processes, including collagen and elastin production.
One reason Cutera Titan® is so popular is its ability to target deeper tissue layers while leaving the surface of the skin largely unaffected. This allows for a shorter and more comfortable recovery process. As the body’s natural collagen production begins to decline as early as one’s late 20s, this anti-aging treatment can be effective from the late 20s, 30s, and 40s to keep the skin looking taut, radiant, and youthful.
PicoSure® Laser
Named after the extremely short pulses of laser energy emitted by this platform (a picosecond is a trillionth of a second!), PicoSure® Laser harnesses leading-edge technology to stimulate collagen and elastin production in deep tissue layers. Similar to Cutera Titan®, this treatment leaves the superficial layer of skin largely unaffected, allowing for an easier recovery.
PicoSure® Laser not only tightens skin, but can resolve superficial blemishes like hyperpigmentation and other common skin concerns. It can be used preventively as early as one’s 20s or 30s, and to treat more advanced signs of aging in the 40s and beyond.
