Skin Tightening Treatments
Skin Tightening Windsor
Are you noticing signs of skin laxity, fine lines, or a loss of facial contour? You’re not alone. As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity and firmness, leading to visible changes that can affect our confidence and appearance. At Healthy Image in Windsor, we offer advanced skin tightening treatments that effectively address these concerns without surgery, providing natural-looking rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
Led by world-renowned dermatologist Dr. Jerry Tan, our Windsor clinic provides cutting-edge skin tightening solutions tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re concerned about early signs of aging or more pronounced skin laxity, our expert team will develop a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Skin Tightening Treatments
At Healthy Image, we proudly offer Windsor residents access to the most advanced, clinically proven skin tightening technologies. Our treatments focus on stimulating your body’s natural collagen production while providing immediate and long-term improvements in skin firmness and elasticity.
Infini™ RF Microneedling
Our Infini™ RF Microneedling system represents the pinnacle of non-surgical skin tightening technology. This revolutionary treatment combines the collagen-stimulating benefits of microneedling with the skin-tightening effects of radiofrequency (RF) energy.
How Infini™ Works
The Infini™ system utilizes 49 gold-coated microneedles that penetrate the skin at precisely controlled depths ranging from 0.5mm to 3.5mm. Once inserted, these needles deliver focused RF energy directly into the dermis, creating a dual action that significantly enhances results:
- Microneedling Effect: The tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries that trigger the skin’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
- Radiofrequency Energy: The RF energy generates heat in the deeper skin layers, causing immediate collagen contraction and long-term collagen remodeling.
This unique combination allows us to achieve remarkable skin tightening results with minimal impact on the skin’s surface, reducing downtime and discomfort while maximizing effectiveness.
Benefits of Infini™ RF Microneedling for Windsor Patients
Customizable Treatment Depths
We can adjust needle depth and energy settings based on your specific skin concerns and treatment areas.
Suitable for All Skin Types
Unlike some laser treatments, Infini™ is safe for all skin tones without risk of pigmentation changes.
Minimal Downtime
Most patients return to normal activities within 24-48 hours.
Comprehensive Improvement
Addresses multiple concerns simultaneously, including skin laxity, wrinkles, texture issues, and acne scars.
Long-Lasting Results
Improvements continue to develop for up to 6 months after treatment and can last 1-2 years with proper maintenance.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
For enhanced skin rejuvenation, we offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, which can be used alone or in combination with Infini™ RF Microneedling.
PRP harnesses your body’s natural healing capabilities by utilizing the growth factors found in your own blood platelets. The procedure involves:
- Drawing a small amount of your blood (similar to a routine blood test)
- Processing the blood in a centrifuge to isolate and concentrate the platelets
- Applying or injecting the platelet-rich solution to target areas
When combined with Infini™ RF Microneedling, PRP penetrates more deeply through the microchannels created by the needles, enhancing and accelerating the skin tightening process. This combination approach is particularly effective for addressing more significant skin laxity and improving overall skin quality.

Recovery and Aftercare Following Skin Tightening
Proper aftercare is essential for maximizing results and ensuring a smooth recovery after your Windsor skin tightening treatment. Here’s what to expect and how to care for your skin following your procedure.
Immediate Aftercare (First 24-48 Hours)
Following your Infini™ RF Microneedling or PRP skin tightening treatment, you may experience:
- Redness similar to a sunburn
- Mild swelling in the treated area
- A warm sensation that gradually subsides
- Possible pinpoint bleeding that resolves quickly
- Slight tenderness when touching the treated area
During this initial recovery period, we recommend:
- Applying cool compresses if needed to reduce swelling
- Keeping the area clean and avoiding applying products not recommended by your provider
- Avoiding excessive heat, including hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise
- Staying well-hydrated to support the healing process
- Using the specialized post-care products provided or recommended by our team
- Sleeping with your head elevated if facial areas were treated
- Avoiding direct sun exposure and applying broad-spectrum sunscreen when outdoors
Ongoing Recovery (First Week)
As your skin continues to heal during the first week after treatment:
- Redness typically fades significantly within 48-72 hours
- Mild flaking or dryness may occur as part of the normal healing process
- Tiny crusts may form at needle entry points but will naturally slough off within a few days
During this phase:
- Continue using gentle, non-irritating cleansers
- Apply recommended healing products to support recovery
- Gradually reintroduce your normal skincare routine as directed by your provider
- Continue diligent sun protection
- Avoid potentially irritating treatments such as chemical peels or laser procedures
Long-Term Care for Optimal Results
To maintain and enhance your Windsor skin tightening results:
Follow Your Treatment Plan
Most patients achieve optimal results with a series of treatments. Completing your full recommended series will provide the most significant improvement in skin firmness and texture.
Maintenance Treatments
After completing your initial series, periodic maintenance treatments (typically every 6-12 months) help preserve and enhance your results as the natural aging process continues.
Daily Skincare
Incorporate products that support collagen production and skin health, such as:
- Antioxidant serums to protect against free radical damage
- Peptide-containing products to support collagen
- Gentle exfoliants to enhance cell turnover
- Hydrating ingredients to maintain skin moisture
Sun Protection
Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential for preventing further collagen breakdown and maintaining your results.
Healthy Lifestyle Choices
Support your skin from within by:
- Staying well-hydrated
- Eating a diet rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients
- Getting adequate sleep
- Managing stress
- Avoiding smoking, which accelerates collagen breakdown
At Healthy Image Windsor, we’re committed to supporting you throughout your skin tightening journey. Our team will provide personalized aftercare instructions and is always available to address any questions or concerns during your recovery process.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which skin tightening treatment in Windsor is right for me?
The best skin tightening treatment for you depends on several factors, including your age, skin condition, concerns, and goals. At Healthy Image Windsor, we offer a comprehensive consultation to evaluate your skin and discuss your expectations.

- Your age and skin condition
- The severity of skin laxity

- Annual maintenance treatments

- Diligent sun protection
- Healthy lifestyle choices that support skin health
