Non-surgical skin tightening at Klinika preventivní dermatologie in Ostrava using radiofrequency (RF) energy or high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to heat the deeper skin layers and stimulate new collagen production. The physician selects the modality based on degree of laxity and patient goals: RF delivers gradual, cumulative dermal firming over a course of sessions, while HIFU focuses ultrasound energy to the SMAS layer — the same depth addressed in a surgical face lift — for a more decisive lifting effect. No incisions, no surgery, no significant downtime. From 3,200 Kč per session.
About this treatment
Non-surgical skin tightening addresses the root cause of sagging: reduced collagen and elastin density in the dermis, and in more significant laxity, reduced tension in the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) beneath. Two complementary energy-based technologies are used at Klinika preventivní dermatologie, each reaching different depths and suited to different degrees of laxity.
Radiofrequency (RF) tightening delivers electrical energy that heats the dermis evenly to a controlled therapeutic temperature of approximately 40–42°C. At this temperature collagen fibres contract immediately, providing an acute tightening effect, and fibroblasts are stimulated to produce new collagen over the following six to twelve weeks. RF energy does not penetrate below the dermis, making it well suited to surface and mid-dermal laxity — improving…
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) converges ultrasound energy at precise focal depths — 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm — creating tiny thermal coagulation zones at each level. The 4.5 mm depth reaches the SMAS, the same tissue layer addressed by a surgical face lift but without any incision, triggering contraction and subsequent collagen remodelling that lifts and tightens more significantly than RF. HIFU is more comfortable with topical anaesthetic and…
Good to know
- RF
- Dermal heating, gradual firming — 3 sessions typical
- HIFU
- Reaches SMAS (4.5 mm depth), peaks at 2–3 months
Who is this for?
Adults with mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, jaw line or neck wanting non-surgical firming without downtime
Preparation required
No special preparation for RF. Apply topical anaesthetic 45 minutes before HIFU if requested. Mild redness or tenderness after HIFU settles within 24 hours; normal activity resumes immediately.
