Non-Surgical Skin Tightening in the Upstate: Your Options

Several treatments at Back to 30 tighten and lift skin without surgery, each working a different way. Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound, Morpheus8 uses radiofrequency microneedling, and PDO threads use dissolvable threads to lift and stimulate collagen. Your provider helps match the right one to your goals.

Ultherapy: focused ultrasound

Ultherapy uses ultrasound imaging and focused energy to treat deep within your skin without affecting the surface, stimulating collagen to gradually tighten and lift over time. Most clients begin to see results within two to three months, with continued improvement for up to six months, and results can last up to two years, often with just one treatment session. It involves minimal discomfort and no downtime.

Morpheus8: radiofrequency microneedling

Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy in the deeper layers to stimulate collagen and elastin, tightening skin and improving texture. The most noticeable changes usually appear after about three weeks.

PDO threads: lift and collagen

PDO threads use dissolvable threads, NovaThreads, which are FDA-cleared, placed under the skin to lift tissue and stimulate collagen, with natural-looking results over the next four to six months.

  • Ultherapy: focused ultrasound, results can last up to two years, often one session
  • Morpheus8: radiofrequency microneedling, tightens and resurfaces
  • PDO threads: dissolvable threads that lift and boost collagen
  • All non-surgical, performed under medical direction
