Loose or sagging skin can appear after weight changes, pregnancy, aging, or simply because your skin’s collagen support has weakened over time. You may be caring for your body, staying active, and prioritizing wellness, yet the skin doesn’t always reflect the work you’re putting in. This gap can feel discouraging and deeply personal.
At Vertex Aesthetics, we understand that skin laxity is complex. Everybody has their own collagen behavior, elasticity patterns, and response to aging. Skin tightens differently depending on genetics, lifestyle, hormones, and past weight fluctuations. That’s why a one-size-fits-all approach never delivers meaningful, lasting results. Our skin tightening treatments combine advanced technologies, including SharpLight™ radio frequency and infrared rapid tightening with VermaDerm®, to support both deeper collagen remodeling and surface-level tightening.
Radio frequency gently heats the deeper layers of the dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Infrared technology works closer to the surface to improve tone, texture, and immediate firmness. By addressing multiple layers of the skin, these treatments deliver gradual, natural-looking improvements without surgery or significant downtime. Our goal is not a drastic change, but to help your skin feel stronger, healthier, and better aligned with how you care for your body.
Loose or sagging skin on the abdomen, arms, thighs, or buttocks
Skin laxity after weight loss or pregnancy
Reduced firmness due to aging or hormonal shifts
Uneven or crepey skin texture
Mild body contour irregularities
Loss of definition from decreased collagen production
Tightening the skin effectively requires understanding why it became lax in the first place. Skin firmness depends on collagen, elastin, hydration, circulation, and your body’s ability to regenerate tissue. Treating only the surface rarely gives the results clients hope for.
Here are the common contributing factors behind loose or sagging skin:
Determines baseline skin elasticity and firmness.
Impact collagen production and skin thickness.
Gradual decline in collagen, elastin, and natural fat distribution.
Stretch the tissue, making it harder for the skin to retract.
Hydration, nutrition, sleep, and stress influence skin repair.
Impacts texture and firmness.
Skin tightening isn’t about treating a single area; it’s about understanding your body’s history, collagen behavior, and response to energy-based technologies. At Vertex Aesthetics, we never prescribe a series until we evaluate whether RF and infrared rapid tightening are right for you.
We assess elasticity, dermal integrity, hydration, lifestyle, and weight history to determine what your skin can realistically achieve. Our role is clarity and partnership, not pressure or assumptions.
We explain how each modality works, from deeper collagen remodeling with RF to the surface tightening effects of VermaDerm®, so you understand your skin program and expected outcomes.





FAQs
Skin tightening improves firmness and texture; it does not reduce body weight.
Ideal candidates have mild to moderate laxity, stable weight, and realistic expectations. RF and infrared tightening work well for the abdomen, arms, thighs, and buttocks.
Most clients need 8–12 radio frequency sessions or 6-8 infrared rapid tightening sessions, depending on skin quality, area treated, and severity of laxity. Your skin program is customized to your skin’s response.
No. Sessions feel like gentle heat and are typically very comfortable.
At Vertex Aesthetics, we focus on what’s realistic for your body and support that process with care, science, and intention.
