Whether braving the summer’s glaring sun or the winter’s nippy weather, your skin is exposed to the elements all year long, and you will need to give it the care it needs through season-appropriate procedures, ranging from injectables and laser therapy to surgical facelifts.

Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York’s board-certified dermatologists are highly acclaimed experts with extensive experience. They perform 100% of the treatments in our Manhattan and Southampton offices, and with over 100 lasers and dozens of injectable treatments available, we are able to treat any skin condition and provide customized surgical options to help patients achieve all their aesthetic goals.

Below, we share the best skin-tightening treatments that will let your skin thrive, no matter the season.

Treatments for tighter, clearer skin in spring prepare your skin for the warm summer months ahead. It’s time to get rid of the dull, dry, and lackluster layers of winter skin to reveal vibrant, healthy skin that will be ready to be bared during the summer.

Treatments for spring should focus on skin-tightening, cellulite, stretch marks, and collagen-boosting for maximum results with minimum downtime.

Cellulite treatments we offer:

• Cellfina™ – is a minimally invasive procedure that has been clinically proven to significantly reduce the appearance of cellulite on the buttocks and thighs for up to two years. Cellfina releases fibrous bands beneath the skin that create cellulite’s dimpled appearance.
• RESONIC – is a Rapid Acoustic Pulse (RAP) device that breaks apart cellulite-causing bands beneath the skin with rapid, high-pressure shockwaves.
• Thermage® – uses radiofrequency energy to heat the dermal layers and stimulate collagen for a firmer, tighter, smoother appearance.
• Coolsculpting Elite – uses cryolipolysis to freeze and eliminate unwanted fat.

Stretch mark treatments we offer:

• Pulsed Dye Lasers – treat redness associated with stretch marks. Our most popular PDL lasers are Vbeam Perfecta and Vbeam Prima.
• Fraxel Dual® – stimulates collagen and remodels the skin.
• Genius – is an RF microneedling device that stimulates collagen production.

Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York has several face skin tightening procedures that enhance collagen production:

• Genius & Morpheus8 – are RF microneedling devices that stimulate collagen production to rejuvenate the skin.
• Fractional lasers – deliver laser energy into the dermal layers, leaving surrounding skin and tissue intact, to stimulate new collagen production.

Best Skin Tightening Treatments For Summer

During the summer, your skin’s exposure to the sun and harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays increases. You can focus on maintenance procedures, such as injectables, and acne treatments that won’t require you to completely hide from the sun.

• Neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and soon-to-come Daxxify) are injectable medications that can improve the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, such as those between the eyebrows, crow’s feet, and forehead. These treatments soften dynamic lines and provide patients with a natural-looking appearance.
• Dermal fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, and RHA, improve volume loss. Fillers effectively improve some signs of aging to refresh and rejuvenate appearance.

Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York offers several treatment options to improve skin laxity in the face and neck. In addition to fractional resurfacing, Genius, Morpheus8, and injectable fillers, we offer many treatments for skin tightening.

Skin tightening devices stimulate collagen and elastin for a firmer, smoother skin appearance. Examples include:

• Thermage – heats the underlayer of the skin, known as the dermis to create new collagen. This new collagen makes the skin look firmer and tighter and improves the overall texture of the skin.
• Thermi– delivers radiofrequency energy. When the tissue beneath the skin is heated, the body begins producing new collagen that helps to tighten and smooth the skin.
• Ultherapy & Sofwave – deliver ultrasound energy to create a firmer, tighter appearance.
• PicoSure – increases collagen and elastin and helps to restore more youthful-looking skin.

Along with skin tightening treatments, the board-certified dermatologists at Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York also offer a unique treatment for acne:

• Accure – we are amongst the first in the country and the first in New York to offer the Accure laser for the long-term improvement of acne.

Best Skin Tightening Treatments For Fall Months

Fall is an ideal time to tighten your skin, repair, sun damage, and treat melasma to prepare for the cooler months ahead.

At the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York, our treatment options include:

• Clear + Brilliant® & LaseMD – are non-invasive fractional lasers that remove pigment and rejuvenate skin.
  Fraxel Dual® – stimulates collagen and elastin while reducing pigmentation, improving skin tone, quality, and texture.
• Pigmentation treatments – harness laser energy to improve the appearance of age spots and brown spots. Our most popular lasers include Ruby Laser, Nd:YAG, Fraxel Dual Laser, LaseMD, Clear & Brilliant, PicoSure, and PicoPlus.

Best Skin Tightening Treatments For Winter

Time indoors during the winter makes it a perfect time for undergoing more aggressive skin-tightening procedures and anti-aging treatments.

Laser skin resurfacing is an effective skin-rejuvenating procedure as it removes skin layer by layer with precision. Lasers like the Fraxel Re:pair, Erbium, Active FX, Deep FX, Profractional, and Contour devices are ablative lasers that create an overall improvement in tone, texture, and quality as well as some tightening of the skin.

When surgery is the best option for patients, our board-certified plastic surgeons offer the following facial and body treatments to address skin laxity:

• Facelift – is a surgical procedure that lifts and tightens sagging skin.
• Neck Lift – targets signs of aging in the neck, including the loose skin commonly referred to as the “turkey wattle.”
• Blepharoplasty – is a type of eyelid surgery that removes excess skin of the upper and lower eyelids.
• Liposuction – removes unwanted fat through suction.
• Breast Augmentation/Breast Lifting & Breast Reduction – increases or reduces the size of the breasts, augments their shape, or lifts the tissue for a more youthful appearance.

While it may be easier to rely on the same skincare routine throughout the year, your skin will benefit from targeted and tailored skincare depending on the season – this way, your skin can better adapt to changing weather and retain a more youthful glow and appearance.
