Skin Tightening in Pasadena, CA
Loose or crepey skin can become more noticeable with age, weight changes, sun exposure, and declining collagen. At Medical Weight Loss and Beauty, we offer Alma skin tightening in Pasadena as part of our aesthetic services. Care is led by Dr. James Kojian, MD, a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician with more than 20 years of experience in aesthetics.
What Is Non-Surgical Skin Tightening?
Our Alma treatments use energy to heat targeted tissue and encourage collagen remodeling beneath the skin. As collagen changes over time, skin can look firmer and smoother without surgically removing excess tissue.
This approach is generally best for mild or moderate looseness rather than a large amount of excess skin. We look at your skin quality, the location of the concern, and the kind of change you hope to see before recommending a plan.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Skin tightening may be used on the face and jawline, neck, upper arms, abdomen, thighs, and other places where firmness has changed. Our guide to areas treated with Alma skin tightening explains how these concerns can differ across the face and body.
Sometimes what looks like loose skin is partly related to facial volume loss. Dermal fillers restore volume rather than tightening tissue, so the two treatments are used for different concerns.
What Should You Expect During and After Treatment?
Sessions take place in our Pasadena office. Your experience depends on the part of the face or body being treated and the settings selected for your skin.
Temporary redness, swelling, bruising, numbness, or tenderness can occur afterward. Many people return to their usual routine quickly, although recovery can vary. We will explain expected aftercare before you leave.
When Do Results Develop?
Changes can appear gradually as collagen remodels, with improvement continuing after the initial session. Some patients need more than one visit, and the treatment plan is based on skin condition, response, and the degree of improvement you are seeking.
Who May Be a Good Candidate?
This option may be appropriate if you want to improve mild or moderate skin looseness without surgery. Your health history, medications, skin condition, and expectations all matter.
Let us know about active skin problems, pregnancy, medications, or medical conditions before your appointment. If you have significant excess skin, we can explain where non-surgical treatment has limitations.
