Most skin tightening treatments use advanced energy-based technology to heat the deeper layers of the skin. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, which are essential for firmer, smoother, more resilient skin.
At Hagopian Plastic Surgery, we offer carefully selected, evidence-based treatments that address different levels of skin laxity, from early signs of aging to more advanced concerns. This approach allows us to tailor treatment to your unique needs.
Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
Most nonsurgical skin tightening treatments are energy-based devices that heat the skin’s deeper layers to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for firmer, smoother skin. However, not all these options are equally effective, and at Hagopian Plastic Surgery, we choose only evidence-based therapies. The advanced treatments available at our practice, Ultherapy® and ThermiSmooth®, effectively address different patient concerns. Unlike laser skin tightening treatments, both procedures are safe for all skin types.
Plastic surgery is the perfect field for Dr. Hagopian, who has a knack for fixing things and helping people. He’s a former firefighter/paramedic, and he had a business building highly sought-after custom taillights in medical school. He met his wife, Nurse Hagopian, at Emory University, and they bonded over many shared interests, including a commitment to exceptional patient care.

Meet Nurse HagopianQuantumRF is a minimally invasive radiofrequency (RF) treatment on the IgniteRF® platform that tightens skin, stimulates collagen production, and enhances overall skin quality, all with little to no downtime.
Unlike traditional liposuction, QuantumRF features a non-aspirating technology, meaning it tightens and smooths the skin without removing fat. It uses a flexible cannula to deliver controlled RF energy beneath the skin, making it a versatile option for treating multiple areas of concern.
At Hagopian Plastic Surgery, some of the key benefits of QuantumRF include:
For certain patients, QuantumRF is a highly effective option for improving skin laxity and contour without the need for liposuction or more invasive procedures.
BodyTite, FaceTite, and AccuTite are minimally invasive radiofrequency (RF) technologies by InMode designed to tighten skin and improve contour. These treatments go beyond surface-level tightening by targeting deeper tissue layers to enhance both firmness and shape.
Unlike traditional skin-tightening treatments, InMode RF face and body treatments enable more advanced sculpting, and they’re especially effective for patients with moderate skin laxity or areas that benefit from more precise contouring.
Tightens and contours larger areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, and arms.
Refines the lower face, neck, and jawline to improve youthful definition
Treats smaller or delicate areas, such as around the eyes, brows, and nasolabial folds.
The benefits of RF skin tightening and contouring treatments at Hagopian Plastic Surgery include:
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel deeper layers of the skin, improving firmness and texture.
By delivering RF energy through tiny microneedles, Morpheus8 stimulates collagen production at multiple depths, making it an excellent option for patients who want to improve:
Morpheus8 is often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan and may complement other microneedling or skin tightening treatments recommended by Dr. Hagopian for enhanced results.
Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy with focused imaging to heat targeted layers of tissue. This enables our providers to customize the treatment based on your specific needs. The thermal energy heats the tissue, triggering the body’s healing response and leading to new collagen and elastin production. What sets Ultherapy apart is that it’s cleared by the FDA to lift the neck, chin, and brow, in addition to tightening the skin and minimizing wrinkles on the décolletage.
The hand-held ThermiSmooth device transmits radiofrequency (RF) energy into the skin’s lower layer, called the dermis. The body’s response, similar to what occurs during an Ultherapy treatment, accelerates the production of new skin cells, collagen, and elastin. This transforms thin, loose, or crepey skin into firmer, smoother skin. ThermiSmooth is an excellent option for patients concerned about fine lines and wrinkles in delicate areas around the mouth and eyes.
Unlike a facelift or other surgical procedures that may produce more immediate changes, most nonsurgical skin-tightening treatments result in gradual changes as your body produces new collagen. Improvements are noticeable within a few weeks, with continued enhancement over 2 to 6 months. We recommend periodic maintenance treatments at Hagopian Plastic Surgery to help you preserve your youthful look.
