Loss of firmness and skin sagging are the most common signs of ageing.
At The Skin Studio in Perth, we offer advanced, non-surgical skin tightening treatments for face, neck and jowl treatments designed to restore the elasticity, lost over time.
In addition, the best skin tightening treatments are also effective on other areas of the body like the abdomen, particularly after weight loss.
Using medical-grade technology and results-driven techniques, we stimulate collagen and elastin production from within, helping your skin feel smoother, firmer, and more youthful.
What Causes Skin Laxity?
Skin laxity occurs when the production of collagen and elastin, the key structural proteins that keep skin firm, begins to slow down.
- From your mid-30s onward, this process accelerates naturally with age.
- Other contributing factors include:
- Sun exposure that damages collagen fibres.
- Hormonal changes and menopause.
- Weight fluctuations or pregnancy.
- Glycation from high blood sugar.
- Lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol and dehydration.
- Incorrect skin care.
The result? Looser, thinner, or crepey skin, particularly on the cheeks, neck, and eyes. But the good news is that modern skin science allows us to safely and effectively rebuild your skin’s structure from the inside out.
Over time, your skin naturally loses collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for keeping it tight and elastic. When these fibres weaken, the skin begins to sag, often appearing as jowls , loose or sagging skin.
Fluctuating hormones in our early 40’s also add to structural changes to fat pads and bone density that contributes to skin sagging.
How Skin Firming Treatments Work
At The Skin Studio, we use a number of technologies that deliver controlled energy (such as heat, light or micro-trauma) deeply into the skin.
This process contracts existing collagen and stimulates fibroblast cells to produce new collagen and elastin over time.
Our methods vary depending on the condition of the skin and many other factors. Each method is ideal for clients seeking visible lifting and contouring without injectables or surgery.
You’ll see both instant firming and progressive tightening in the weeks that follow.
Recommended Treatments for Skin Tightening
Mesotherapy is the infusion of specific ingredients in the skin using a combination of electroporation and micro-needling techniques.
In 2025 The Skin Studio introduces Exosomes to our Mesotherapy offerings and this has proven to get outstanding results on skin laxity and fine lines.
This combination is our most popular skin tightening treatment.
Micro-needling creates micro-channels in the skin to promote a response that boosts collagen and elastin production to firm the skin.
Meanwhile the infusion of Hyaluronic Acid builds hydration levels to plump and hydrate the skin.
Skin Needling is a powerful method for overall tone improvement.
IPL (Intense Pulse Light) is a skin-tightening treatment that uses light wavelengths.
The light energy from the IPL device penetrates the skin, heating the tissue and triggering the fibroblasts (cells that produce collagen and elastin) to produce more of these proteins.
The treatment for skin firming is comfortable, with no down-time and the stimulation improves skin elasticity and firmness.
LED Light Therapy is commonly used for skin-firming treatments.
LED Skin Tightening uses Red light wavelengths to stimulate collagen production and Near-infrared wavelength to reduce inflammation.
We choose Dermalux technology, recognised as the leader in the industry.
This technology is often combined with other treatments for best results.
Plasma Fibroblast is commonly used for skin tightening.
The process creates micro-trauma to the skin to stimulate the collagen induction response.
In particular, upper and lower eyelids can benefit from this treatment, where other options aren’t suitable.
Please book a consultation in person or an online zoom option, if you think this treatment might be right for you.
Radio Frequency for tightening the skin is a great option for patients who want an instant glow without down-time.
Gradually heating the skin causes existing collagen fibres to contract, resulting in an immediate tightening effect, while the new collagen growth that follows, provides long-term skin tightening, reduced wrinkles, and improved skin tone and texture.
Who can benefit from skin tightening treatments?
Our skin tightening treatments are suitable for anyone experiencing:
- Sagging or loss of firmness around the jawline or neck
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Crepey or thinning skin on the face, neck, or body
- Peri-Menopausal or Menopausal Skin Conditions
