Skin Tightening in Highland Park

Skin tightening is a non-surgical treatment that uses controlled radiofrequency energy to gently warm the deeper layers of the skin. That warmth prompts the body to remodel collagen over the following weeks, so the skin looks and feels firmer and smoother. At DK Aesthetics in Highland Park it comes as Body ReFirm for the body and The ReLift 9 for the lower face and jawline. Individual results vary.

Radiofrequency heats the dermis — the layer beneath the surface where collagen lives — to a controlled temperature while the surface stays comfortable. The skin responds by building new collagen and elastin over the following weeks. With Body ReFirm, gentle vacuum lifts and holds the tissue so the energy reaches evenly. Studies of radiofrequency report measurable improvement in skin laxity on the face and body.

Body ReFirm is for the body: radiofrequency with gentle vacuum on the legs (inner and outer thighs), belly, flanks, back or arms, priced per area as a single session or a six-session course. The ReLift 9 is for the lower face and jawline: a nine-session radiofrequency program for a firmer, more defined-looking jaw. Both are needle-free and weekly; sessions take 30 minutes, or 60 for the legs.

The legs — inner and outer thighs together, in a 60-minute session — and the belly, flanks, back and arms, in 30 minutes each. Each area is booked and priced on its own; the belly and the flanks, for example, are two areas. At your first visit we confirm which areas make the most sense for your goals.

Sessions run once a week. Body ReFirm is planned as six sessions per area, and a single session is available if you want to try it first. The ReLift 9 is a nine-session program for the lower face and jawline, offered only as the full series. Firmness builds across the series.

Most clients describe a warm, comfortable sensation. It is needle-free and there is no downtime — you may look slightly pink or feel warm for a short while afterward, and you can go straight back to your day.

Firmness builds gradually over the weekly series, because collagen takes time to remodel, and it can keep developing in the weeks after your last session. Skin keeps aging naturally, so some clients return for a refresher later — we talk about that at your consultation. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed.

At DK Aesthetics in Highland Park, Body ReFirm is priced per area. The belly, flanks, back or arms are $500 per area for a single session, or $2,880 per area for the six-session course — $120 less than six single sessions. The legs (inner and outer thighs, 60 minutes) are $625 per session, or $3,510 for six. The ReLift 9 for the lower face and jawline is $1,900 for all nine sessions. Your areas and schedule are confirmed at your first visit, before anything starts. Individual results vary.

No — they target different things. Cellulite treatment focuses on dimpling, where fibrous bands pull the skin down. Skin tightening focuses on laxity — skin that feels loose or crepey. Some clients do both on different areas; we help you choose at your consultation.

Adults with mild to moderate loose skin on the body or along the lower face and jawline who want a needle-free option. It is not a substitute for surgery when there is a large amount of excess skin, for example after major weight loss. Radiofrequency is not used during pregnancy, with a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, or over metal implants in the area — please share your full history.
