Skin laxity is one of the most common concerns we treat at Calgary Laser Health — and one of the most treatable.

As collagen and elastin break down with age, skin loses its firmness and structure, leading to a softening jawline, looser neck skin, and a less defined facial contour.

The good news is that surgery is no longer the only answer. Today's most effective skin tightening treatments use focused ultrasound energy to reach the deep structural layers of the skin — stimulating collagen production and delivering a gradual, natural-looking lift with zero downtime.

At Calgary Laser Health, we offer two of the most clinically proven non-invasive skin tightening treatments available, tailored to your skin and your goals.

Client Testimonials

What Can Skin Tightening Treat?

Non-invasive skin tightening is commonly used to address:

  • Sagging or softening jawline (jowls)

  • Loose or crepey skin on the neck

  • Loss of definition along the cheeks and lower face

  • Mild sagging around the brow area

  • Early signs of facial laxity from age-related collagen loss

  • Skin laxity following moderate weight loss

If you're noticing any of the above, HIFU or Ultherapy may be a good fit — explore each treatment below to find the right option for your concerns.

NOTE: For clients also dealing with sun damage, texture, or scarring alongside skin laxity, fractional CO2 laser resurfacing can complement HIFU or Ultherapy — the laser improves surface quality while ultrasound addresses deeper tightening. Ask your technician if a combined approach suits your goals.

HIFU Treatment

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) delivers precise ultrasound energy to the deep foundational layers of the skin, triggering a natural collagen rebuilding response. The result is a gradual, progressive lift and tightening of the face, jaw, and neck — with results that continue to improve over 3–6 months. One session, no downtime, no needles.

Ultherapy

Ultherapy is a FDA-cleared non-invasive treatment for lifting the face, neck, and brow. Using the same focused ultrasound principle with real-time imaging to precisely target treatment depth, Ultherapy is the gold standard for patients seeking clinically validated, medically proven skin lifting and tightening.

Our Skin Tightening Treatments

Both of our skin tightening treatments use focused ultrasound — a technology that delivers heat energy beneath the skin's surface to stimulate the body's natural collagen production, without cutting, needles, or damage to the outer layers. Here's how each one works.

What's the difference between HIFU and Ultherapy?

Both use focused ultrasound to stimulate collagen production at a deep tissue level, but Ultherapy is FDA-cleared specifically for lifting the face, neck, and brow and uses real-time imaging to guide treatment depth. HIFU is a broader category of focused ultrasound technology that also targets deep tissue layers for a gradual lifting and tightening effect. Your technician can help you determine which is best suited to your skin and goals.

How long do results take to show?

Skin tightening works by stimulating your body's own collagen production, so results build gradually over time — typically becoming visible within 4–8 weeks and continuing to improve for up to 3–6 months after treatment.

Is skin tightening painful?

Most clients describe a warming sensation as the ultrasound energy is delivered, with brief moments of more intense heat as the device targets deeper layers. No anesthesia is required, and most people tolerate the treatment well.

Am I a good candidate for non-invasive skin tightening?

Non-invasive skin tightening is best suited to mild to moderate skin laxity — it's a preventative and corrective treatment, not a replacement for surgery in cases of significant sagging. It's not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for clients with certain implants or pacemakers in the treatment area. Your technician will assess your skin during your consultation and recommend the most appropriate option.

Can CO2 laser tighten skin too?

Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing can produce a mild tightening effect as a byproduct of collagen remodelling, but it's primarily used to improve skin texture, tone, and sun damage. For clients focused specifically on lifting and tightening, HIFU and Ultherapy are purpose-built for that goal — though the two can be combined for clients dealing with both concerns.

How many treatments will I need?

This varies by treatment — Ultherapy is often a single session with results developing over months, while HIFU may be recommended as a series depending on your goals. Your technician will outline a personalized plan during your consultation.
