Plastic Surgeon Questions Skin tightening

What's the best skin tightening treatment for the face?

I have loose skin on my face and I just hate how it looks. It makes me look so old. Are there any skin tightening treatments that work well for the face? What do you recommend?

Most so-called non-invasive skin tightening procedures of the face or body really don’t work and I have treated many patients who have been unhappy with their results afterwards. Options for tightening the face include some sort of mini or traditional facelift, still the gold standard, or possibly fillers. Call anytime for a virtual consultation to further discuss this issue. Good luck.
Laser and radiofrequency energy devices can improve the loose skin, but, depending on the degree of looseness, a facelift may be required to obtain the desired result.
I recommend the Obagi Skin Care program for returning your skin to a healthy state.
Microdermabrasion, if using a professional grade machine. Series of five, minimum. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.
Definitely, the best non-surgical procedures are IPL, laser, complemented by the appropriate fillers to restore the loss of volume.
