Facial Skin Tightening in Philadelphia, PA
The Lumen Tight
Are you looking to eliminate sagging jowls, double chin and the dreaded “turkey neck”? Both women and men have seen natural-looking, long-lasting results that redefined the neck and jawline. The Lumen Tight is a skin tightening treatment, specially designed to tighten the face, chin and neck. Facial skin tightening can reveal stunning results and take years off your appearance.
What Is Lumen Tight?
Aging causes our tissues to lose their elasticity and sag, and the lower face is especially prone to these changes. The Lumen Tight is a minimally invasive skin tightening procedure to rejuvenate and revitalize your appearance.
Using laser energy, the loose skin of the neck, jowls and chin is tightened. Your new sculpted face and neckline will look soft and natural – never stretched or overdone. Just tighter, firmer and smoother skin to lessen the visible signs of aging. The Lumen Tight can make you look healthier, well-rested and years younger.
Lumen Tight Procedure
The skin tightening procedure starts with application of a saline solution containing a local anesthetic to the treatment area. Then, a very small 1-3mm (“freckle mark”) incision is made under the chin. A tiny cannula (tube) containing a laser fiber is inserted that emits laser energy directly to fat cells, just enough to achieve the desired shape of the area. This causes the fat cells to burst and the liquified fat is gently suctioned out of the area. Heat from the laser results in less bleeding, swelling and bruising. It also stimulates the growth of collagen, which causes the skin to continue to tighten over the next 3-4 months, redefining the jaw and neckline.
The Lumen Tight procedure can be completed in less than two hours.
Lumen Tight Candidates
If the signs of aging have become more visible, you may be a candidate for facial skin tightening. It is best suited for men and women who:
- Have experienced a loss of skin elasticity and muscle tone in the lower face and neck
- Have sagging jowls or a double chin
- Desire a noticeable and dramatic change, yet are not ready for a complete facelift
Frequently Asked Facial Skin Tightening Questions
What are the benefits of the Lumen Tight?
The benefits of skin tightening treatment are numerous. You’ll regain a youthful face and neck and tighter, smoother skin. If jowls or a double chin are concerns, these can be eliminated, and you’ll achieve better jawline and neck definition.
How long does the Lumen Tight last?
The Lumen Tight produces a dramatic change that will last 5-6 years.
How is the Lumen Tight different from a full facelift, such as the Lumen Lift?
The Lumen Tight is a tightening procedure for the neck and jowls and addresses the lower third of the face. It’s the first step in our complete, minimally-invasive facelift, The Lumen Lift. The Lumen Lift both tightens the chin, neck and/or jowls areas and fills around sunken eyes and cheeks to provide a desirable heart-shaped, healthy look to the face. Filler is obtained from your own fat, which is purified and injected into the dormant cells of your face. The result is an organic lift that enhances the quality and structure of the skin.
