Non-surgical skin tightening
Before determining whether you should have surgery, people usually ask a doctor for an alternative. Tips about how to tighten the skin without having to go through surgery involve:
1) Fillers such as Radiesse, Restylane, or Juvederm may soften any shadowing which arises around the facial creases and nasolabial fold, thereby making the cheek folds and jowls look less prominent. Dermal fillers will act like inflating a ball in order to address the bulges and pockets. For instance, by utilizing a filler in order to restore cheek volume, you may, to an extent, lessen the look of the jowls.

Titan utilizes IR (infrared light) to tighten your skin, Thermage utilizes unipolar RF (radiofrequency energy), and Refirme utilizes infrared light and bipolar radiofrequency energy.
3) A physician might suggest that you rejuvenate the skin using laser resurfacing. The CO2 laser with Fraxel or erbium laser with Profractional technology include other options.
