As skin loses collagen and elastin over time, it can begin to sag or lose its firmness, especially around the jawline, neck, and cheeks. This is a natural part of aging, but it does not mean you have to live with skin that feels looser than you would like. Nowak Aesthetics offers a full range of non-surgical and minimally invasive skin tightening treatments to help firm and lift lax skin. Discover more about our skin tightening treatments available at Nowak Aesthetics in Chula Vista.
What Causes Lax Skin?
Collagen and elastin are the proteins that give skin its structure and bounce, and production of both naturally declines with age. Sun exposure, weight changes, and genetics can accelerate this process, leading to sagging along the jawline, jowls, a loosening neck, or skin that no longer snaps back the way it once did. Nowak Aesthetics offers treatments that stimulate the body’s own collagen production to restore firmness without surgery.
Treatment Options for Lax Skin
- Morpheus8: combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel collagen deep beneath the skin’s surface
- Ultherapy: uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten skin on the face, neck, and brow
- Thermage: a radiofrequency treatment that heats the deeper layers of skin to stimulate new collagen
- FaceTite: a minimally invasive radiofrequency treatment that tightens skin on the face and neck with more noticeable results than non-invasive options
- AccuTite: a precision version of FaceTite designed for smaller, more delicate areas
- BodyTite: radiofrequency skin tightening designed for larger areas of the body
- TightLase: a laser-based skin tightening treatment using the Fotona 4D platform
- Emface: combines radiofrequency and muscle stimulation to lift and tone the face without needles
- Threads: dissolvable sutures that provide an immediate, subtle lift while stimulating collagen over time
- Fractional CO2: a resurfacing laser that firms lax skin and improves texture by stimulating new collagen

Are You a Candidate?
Patients with mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, or body are typically good candidates for one or more of these treatments. During your consultation, our team will assess your skin’s elasticity and discuss your goals to recommend the treatment, or combination of treatments, that will give you the most natural-looking result.
What to Expect
Most skin tightening treatments at Nowak Aesthetics are performed in-office and require little to no anesthesia beyond topical numbing. Minimally invasive options like FaceTite, AccuTite, and BodyTite involve local anesthesia and a small incision, while options like Morpheus8, Ultherapy, Thermage, and Emface are entirely non-invasive.

Recovery
Non-invasive treatments like Ultherapy, Thermage, and Emface typically allow patients to return to normal activities the same day. Morpheus8 may cause a few days of redness similar to a mild sunburn. Minimally invasive treatments like FaceTite and BodyTite involve a longer recovery, usually one to two weeks, with some swelling and bruising as the treated area heals.
Results
Because these treatments work by stimulating your own collagen, results build gradually over two to six months and continue to improve with time. Many patients maintain their results with periodic touch-up treatments. Visit our before and after gallery to see real results from Nowak Aesthetics patients.
