Have you noticed that your skin doesn’t bounce back the way it used to? Whether it’s loose skin along the jawline, crepey texture on the neck, or laxity on the abdomen after weight loss or pregnancy, sagging skin can make you look older and feel less confident than you are. The good news is that today’s advanced skin tightening treatments can lift, firm, and refresh your appearance without the downtime of surgery.
At Old Town Med Spa, the MD Brothers, Dr. Nael Gharbi and Dr. Shazel Gharbi, are among the top cosmetic physicians in Chicago, with more than a decade of experience and advanced training in radiofrequency, laser, and energy-based skin tightening technologies. Their patient-first philosophy and access to the most trusted devices on the market mean you get safe, natural-looking results tailored to your goals.
What Is Non-Surgical Skin Tightening?
Skin-tightening treatments use focused energy — radiofrequency, ultrasound, helium plasma, or microneedling — to heat the deeper layers of the skin. That controlled heat stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for firm, youthful-looking skin. Over the following weeks and months, your body remodels the treated tissue, leaving you with smoother, tighter, more lifted skin.

Skin Tightening Treatments Offered at Old Town Med Spa
AGNES RF
AGNES RF uses precision microneedles paired with radiofrequency energy to target stubborn fat pockets, sagging skin, and active acne. It’s ideal for refining the lower face, under-eye bags, and jawline with pinpoint accuracy.
Exilis Elite Skin Tightening
Exilis Elite combines radiofrequency and ultrasound to tighten skin and reduce fat in a single treatment. It’s a comfortable, no-downtime option for the face, neck, abdomen, and other body areas.
Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is a microneedling radiofrequency treatment that remodels deeper layers of skin and subdermal fat. It’s a favorite for tightening the face, neck, and body while improving texture and tone.
Scarlet
Scarlet uses short-pulse RF microneedling to stimulate collagen with minimal discomfort and downtime. It’s an excellent choice for early signs of laxity, pore size, and fine lines.
Renuvion
Renuvion combines helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to dramatically tighten loose skin — often after liposuction or weight loss — without the scarring of a traditional lift.
Ultherapy®
Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive ultrasound treatment to lift the brow, neck, and under-chin area. It reaches the same foundational layer addressed in cosmetic surgery, with no incisions required.
Am I a Candidate for Skin Tightening?
If you have mild to moderate skin laxity and want to avoid surgery, you’re likely a great candidate. During your consultation, Dr. Nael or Dr. Shazel will evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend the treatment or combination best suited to your needs.
