Why Choose Cross Hudson Plastic Surgery?
What Is Skin Tightening?
Skin tightening is a group of treatments that firm loose skin by heating the deeper layers with radiofrequency, ultrasound or laser energy. The heat makes existing collagen contract and tells your body to build new collagen and elastin, so skin looks smoother and more lifted.
Dr. Boris Mordkovich treats the face, neck and body, from jowls and crepey necks to loose skin on the arms and abdomen after weight loss.
Surgical vs. Non-Surgical Skin Tightening
Minimally invasive treatments like BodyTite and FaceTite work under the skin through tiny incisions and give the most tightening, with fat removal in the same session. Non-surgical treatments such as Morpheus8, Ultherapy and Contour TRL need no incisions and little or no downtime, and often work best as a series. When the skin is very loose, surgery such as a facelift or tummy tuck may still be the better option.
Consultation & Preparation
for Skin Tightening
Your first step is a consultation where you share what bothers you and what you hope to change. Dr. Mordkovich evaluates your skin laxity, skin type, medical history and lifestyle, then recommends the treatment, or combination, most likely to reach your goal.
You will learn what to expect before, during and after treatment. Depending on the option you choose, preparation can include avoiding sun exposure, pausing certain skin care products or medications, and stopping smoking.
Our Skin Tightening Treatments
Every option below tightens skin in a different way. Dr. Mordkovich will match the treatment to your skin and downtime:
BodyTite and FaceTite (RFAL)
Radiofrequency energy delivered under the skin through tiny incisions melts fat and contracts tissue. It is the strongest tightening option short of surgery.
Morpheus8
Fine needles deliver radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers to remodel collagen and firm the face and body.
Ultherapy
Focused ultrasound lifts and tightens the brow, neck and jawline without any incisions or downtime.
Contour TRL
An erbium laser resurfaces the skin and tightens underlying tissue to improve firmness and texture.
Microneedling With PRP
Microneedling creates tiny channels that trigger collagen, and PRP from your own blood boosts healing for smoother, firmer skin.
Recovery After Skin Tightening
Non-surgical treatments need little or no downtime. Redness and mild swelling are common and usually fade within a few days, and most patients go back to work the same day or the next.
After BodyTite or FaceTite, plan on a few days of rest and a compression garment. With every option, skin keeps firming for 3 to 6 months as new collagen forms.
Candidates for Skin Tightening
Skin tightening suits healthy adults with mild to moderate laxity who want firmer skin with less downtime than surgery. You may be a candidate if you have:
- Loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy
- Mild to moderate sagging from aging
- Jowls, a soft jawline or crepey neck skin
- Uneven texture or fine lines
- Small fat deposits with mild skin sagging
- A preference for minimally invasive options
- Realistic expectations about gradual results

Skin Tightening FAQs
How much does skin tightening cost in Fort Lee?
Skin tightening at our practice ranges from about $500 for a single non-surgical session to around $5,000 for larger or minimally invasive treatments. Your quote depends on the treatment and area.
What is the best skin tightening treatment?
It depends on how loose your skin is. BodyTite and FaceTite give the most tightening without major surgery, while Morpheus8, Ultherapy and Contour TRL suit milder laxity with less downtime.
How long do skin tightening results last?
Results build over 3 to 6 months and usually last one to several years, depending on the treatment. Maintenance sessions help keep skin firm as you age.
How many sessions will I need?
BodyTite and FaceTite are usually a single treatment. Non-surgical options like Morpheus8 and microneedling are often done as a series of sessions a few weeks apart.
Does skin tightening hurt?
Most treatments use numbing cream or local anesthesia, so patients feel warmth or pressure. Any soreness afterward is usually mild.
Can skin tightening replace a facelift or tummy tuck?
For mild to moderate laxity, often yes. For a lot of loose skin, surgery still gives a stronger result, and Dr. Mordkovich will tell you which fits you best.
