Skin Tightening in Tysons & McLean, VA
What Is Skin Tightening?
Loose or sagging skin along the jawline, neck and under the chin, or on the arms and abdomen, is one of the most common concerns we hear at DermaGlow MedSpa. Skin tightening is the result you are after; the device is simply how we get there, and we offer several. Each technology below delivers energy into the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate the body’s own collagen, and each has a sweet spot in terms of treatment area, depth and the kind of laxity it suits.
During a consultation at our Tysons location, your provider examines your skin and recommends the treatment, or combination, that fits your goals. Below is how each option works and when we reach for it.
Skin Tightening Treatments We Offer
Ultherapy®
Ultherapy® is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical treatment that uses targeted ultrasound energy to lift and tighten skin on the face, neck and chest, with no cutting and no injections. The heat reaches the skin’s foundational layers and triggers the body’s own collagen-building response, so firmness builds gradually over the following weeks and months. A session typically takes 60–90 minutes, and most patients return to normal activities right away.
Quadessy™ RF Microneedling
Quadessy™ is the newest evolution of radiofrequency microneedling at DermaGlow, combining non-invasive and minimally invasive RF energy in a single session. Its Hybrid-RFMN technology delivers synchronized energy to three layers of the skin in one pass, using controlled heat to stimulate new collagen and firm loose tissue along the jawline, neck and lower face without surgery. It requires minimal downtime compared to more invasive resurfacing options.
Morpheus8®
Morpheus8® pairs microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen beneath the surface of the skin. It treats the face, neck and body, addressing sagging skin alongside fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars, and Morpheus8® Body extends the same technology to skin tightening and contouring on the body. Quadessy™ is our newer RF microneedling platform for the same goals; your provider will recommend one based on your skin and treatment area.
Onda Pro®
Onda Pro® is a non-invasive body treatment built on Coolwaves® energy that delivers fat reduction and skin tightening in a single visit, reaching beneath the surface while the skin itself stays cool and comfortable. Three specialized handpieces let your provider customize the depth for the abdomen, thighs, arms and flanks, which makes it our choice when loose skin and stubborn fat appear together.
BBL® Photofacial by Sciton®
BBL® uses BroadBand Light™ technology to improve skin tone and texture, and it stimulates collagen production for firmer skin as part of a broader rejuvenation treatment. It is non-invasive with minimal downtime, which makes it a natural fit when early laxity comes together with sun damage, redness or uneven pigmentation.
MOXI® by Sciton®
MOXI® is a gentle, non-ablative fractional laser that stimulates collagen production and encourages cellular turnover. On the neck it treats wrinkles and sagging by boosting collagen and improving firmness and texture, with minimal downtime, and it is suitable for all skin types and tones.

FAQs
Is non-surgical skin tightening the same as a facelift?
No. The treatments on this page tighten and firm skin by stimulating your own collagen with ultrasound, radiofrequency or light energy. There are no incisions, and most people return to their normal routine quickly. A surgical facelift removes and repositions tissue; non-surgical tightening is chosen by clients who want visible firmness without surgery. Individual results vary.
Which skin tightening treatment is best?
It depends on the area, the degree of laxity and what else you would like to improve. Ultherapy® is our go-to for lifting the face, neck and chest; Quadessy™ and Morpheus8® add RF microneedling for skin that also needs texture work; Onda Pro® is for the body. Your provider will recommend the right one at your consultation.
How soon will I see results?
Because these treatments work by building new collagen, results appear gradually rather than overnight. With Ultherapy® and Quadessy™, most clients notice improvement over the following weeks, with continued refinement over the months that follow as collagen builds. Individual results vary.
Is there downtime?
Most of the treatments here are non-invasive or minimally invasive. Ultherapy® clients typically return to normal activities right away, Onda Pro® is described as a lunch-hour-friendly treatment, and Quadessy™ requires minimal downtime compared with more invasive resurfacing. Your provider will explain exactly what to expect for your treatment.
