Skin Tightening in Newcastle & the Hunter
What is non-surgical skin tightening?
Radiofrequency (RF) warms tissue to stimulate collagen activity. RF microneedling combines this energy with fine needles, while cold-thermal treatments use alternating temperatures. Changes develop gradually, and results vary.

[A gradual process
Responses develop over weeks to months, depending on your skin and treatment.

- May suit
- Laxity with texture concerns
- Areas
- Face, jawline, neck, under-chin and selected body areas
- Recovery
- Typically a few days of redness and swelling; temporary marks are possible
- Comfort
- Numbing cream may be used; heat and prickling can occur
- Course
- A short series, with spacing confirmed at assessment
- Timeline
- Weeks to months; responses vary

Final pricing confirmed after assessment. Results vary.
Vivace
RF microneedlingFirmness, fine lines & texture
Fine, guided needles deliver RF energy into the skin. Vivace may be considered when texture, fine lines and mild-to-moderate laxity are concerns, following an individual assessment.
