Skin Tightening Treatments Available at Our Clinic
Endolift X: A laser-fibres-based, minimally invasive lift
- Ultra-fine laser fibers are inserted beneath the skin to deliver precise thermal energy (1470 nm), tightening the dermis and remodelling collagen.
- Also melts small fat deposits—ideal for under-eye bags, jawline contouring, double chin reduction, neck lifting, and skin tightening on the arms, thighs, knees, and ankles.
- Sessions last 30-120 minutes; most clients enjoy immediate tightness, with ongoing improvement over months.
- Minimal downtime, mild swelling/bruising; ideal alternative to surgical facelift.
Virtue Microneedling RF: Hybrid microneedle and RF technology
- Penetrates multiple skin layers using microneedling + radiofrequency pulses to stimulate deep collagen and elastin remodelling.
- Enhances skin texture, tightens pores, smooths fine lines—ideal for crepey skin on eyes, neck and hands.
- Fast recovery, with progressive firming and texture improvement over weeks to months.
- Multiple handpiece types: Options include SmartRF, DeepRF, and ExactRF, enabling optimal treatment for different skin conditions.
Ultracel HIFU: Quick, non-invasive facelift and contouring
- Delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) at depths of 2.0-4.5 mm, targeting the SMAS layer for genuine lifting effect .
- The unique LinearFirm cartridge also dissolves fat pockets, such as under the chin.
- A full-face session takes 15-40 minutes, with visible results that continue to improve over 2-6 months.
- Non-surgical, comfortable, and zero downtime—ideal for busy lifestyles.
Fractional CO₂ Laser: Ablative laser for deep skin regeneration
- Creates micro-injuries to trigger collagen remodelling, dramatically improving tightness, texture, tone, and reducing acne scars, fine lines, and pigmentation.

- Requires 5-7 days of healing; delivers powerful, long-lasting firming.
Which Skin Tightening Treatment is Right for You?
Each treatment offers unique advantages and targets different layers of the skin. Some are more effective for surface-level concerns like fine lines and texture, while others penetrate deeper to firm, lift, or reduce localized fat. Before choosing, it’s essential to define your main goals—such as improving texture, enhancing firmness, lifting facial contours, or targeting stubborn fat pockets.
To make it easier, we’ve created the comparison tables below.
