Age, living environment, and daily habits are factors that greatly impact the aging process. Surgical treatment can address sagging skin, but there are now many alternative skin tightening treatments available for those who do not want to undergo invasive medical procedures.
1. Why should you firm your skin?
Collagen and Elastin are two proteins that maintain elasticity and firmness of the skin. When you reach the age of 25 and above, the production rate of skin cells decreases, signs of aging skin begin to appear such as dry skin, dark spots, roughness, uneven skin tone or wrinkles around the eyes and mouth.
Surgical treatment can solve the problem of sagging skin, but now there are many alternative therapies for those who do not want to perform invasive medical intervention.
Some forms of skin tightening include:
Skin tightening creams: Cosmetics containing Retinoids and Hyaluronic Acid have the ability to skin tightening, making it more elastic. (Retinoids help stimulate skin cell growth, Hyaluronic Acid attracts and controls water molecules)..
Dietary supplements: Dietary supplements cannot completely cure sagging, however, supplementing these substances helps support from the inside in combination with beneficial effects from the outside to help improve the effectiveness of skin tightening.
Exercise: Long-term skin expansion, sudden weight loss causes sagging skin. Exercise helps stimulate muscle growth to skin tightening and restore elasticity. Facial exercises are considered effective when signs of aging first appear.
Massage: Massage helps regulate blood flow, increase and stimulate anti-aging mechanisms. Combining massage and skin firming creams helps promote rapid results.
The above therapies are simple skin firming methods that can be done at home, they are effective for cases of aging that have just appeared. For more severe conditions, cosmetic intervention with technology is a solution that brings quick results.

Coming to Lux, customers will be consulted to determine a personalized treatment plan suitable for your skin condition and cosmetic profile. Skin tightening methods provided at Lux:
HIFU Technology
HIFU technology is an advanced non-invasive facelift method, using high-intensity focused ultrasound waves. This is a popular beauty solution thanks to its ability to deeply impact the skin structure, effectively lifting, firming and improving signs of aging without surgery.
How it works: Using focused ultrasound waves to deeply impact the SMAS layer (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) at a depth of 3.0-4.5mm. Thermal energy from 60-70°C stimulates collagen, elastin and restructures the skin.
Effects:
- Lifts and firms the skin.
- Reduces wrinkles and sagging.
- Suitable for the face, neck, and body.
- Non-invasive, no need for recovery.
- Results last for 1-2 years.
Ultherapy Prime Technology
The device uses ultrasound waves to directly impact the skin. By heating the skin at a depth of 5mm, collagen cell groups are stimulated to recover and develop, making the skin firm, smooth and full of vitality. Skin tightening with Ultherapy is a technology certified by the FDA for safety and has been performed for more than 1,000,000 successful cases worldwide.
How it works: Ultherapy Prime uses micro-ultrasound waves to deeply impact the SMAS layer, creating optimal temperatures to help stimulate new collagen and regenerate skin structure.
Effects:
- Lifting and firming the skin of the face and neck.
- Improving wrinkles around the eyes and forehead.
- No surgery, non-invasive.
- Results are obvious after 2-3 months and last up to 2 years.
Thermage FLX Technology
Thermage FLX works by using thermal energy to heat the dermis (about 1.5-3mm). This heat stimulates new collagen production and improves skin texture. Thermage works on most areas of the body. For mild skin aging, this technology is most effective. After treatment, you can see results immediately and the effects will improve significantly in the following months.
How it works: Using monopolar RF waves to heat deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin regeneration, helping to tighten the skin and reduce sagging.
- Instant skin tightening.
- Improve skin texture, reduce aging.
Advantages:
- One treatment only, no need for a course of treatments.
- Effects last from 1-2 years.
Sofwave Technology
Sofwave is the only technology recognized by the FDA for both wrinkle removal and lifting. Sofwave uses high-frequency ultrasound to stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin. This technology generates multiple parallel ultrasound waves, allowing for large-area treatment without damaging the epidermis or other skin structures.
How it works: Using medium high-frequency ultrasound waves of 7 MHz to transmit heat energy to the dermis (hypodermis) at a depth of about 1.5mm, stimulating fibroblast cells to produce new collagen without damaging the epidermis.
- Stimulates collagen and elastin regeneration, lifts and firms the skin.
- Improves skin structure, smooths the skin surface, and reduces sagging skin.
- Integrates both lifting and wrinkle removal in 1 treatment.
- Equipped with a cooling system to protect the skin during treatment, minimizing side effects.
- The effect lasts from 1-2 years.
2.3. When will I see results from skin tightening treatment?
Non-invasive treatments are effective quickly, after treatment at Lux you can see your skin improve up to 30%, this result will be more obvious after 2 – 6 months. The skin tightening treatment effect usually lasts from 1 to 2 years, or more depending on many factors.
- Skin care.

- Personal factors: age and initial skin condition.
This means that after completing the treatment, the skin will maintain its firmness, smoothness and youthfulness for this period of time before needing a maintenance treatment.
