Loose skin on the face or body is one of the most common concerns we treat and one of the most rewarding to address. Whether caused by aging, weight loss or pregnancy, skin laxity can be visibly improved with Imagen’s personalized, high-tech treatments.
Our expert providers use cutting-edge techniques to stimulate collagen, rebuild structure and restore firmness with results that look natural, not overdone. Starting with your consultation and on to your final result, your journey is tailored to you.
Treatments for Loose Skin
Renuvion/J-Plasma
From $2,790
Renuvion / J-Plasma is a revolutionary skin-tightening treatment exclusively available at Imagen, in Omaha. Often referred to as shrinkwrap for your skin, Renuvion combines Helium and RF Technology to cause the deeper layers of the skin to contract; the RF technology stimulates collagen production while the cooling helium reduces bruising and swelling.
Fractional Laser Resurfacing
From $750
Fractional laser creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger intensive collagen rebuilding, progressively tightening skin that has lost its elasticity.
Laser Genesis
From $250
Laser Genesis uses gentle thermal energy to stimulate collagen deep in the dermis, gradually restoring firmness and improving overall skin tone.
Radiofrequency Microneedling
From $2,790
RF Microneedling is an energy-based treatment that is designed to stimulate the production of elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid. Without surgery, fillers or toxins, RF Microneedling dramatically improves aging skin, reducing the appearance of laxity, jowls, and wrinkles.
Skin Care
Custom Plan
Following your free consultation, Imagen can craft a custom routine based on your skin type and area of concern. We carry pharmaceutical-grade products that support collagen health and help maintain firmer skin between treatments.
What Causes Skin to Lose Its Firmness
Skin laxity is the loss of firmness and elasticity that follows aging or a significant change in weight. It can occur anywhere on the body, but it shows first and most obviously on the face, neck, chest, arms and abdomen. We also discuss loose skin after fat freezing treatments and what can be done about it.
The primary driver is collagen. Collagen production declines over time, and as it falls the skin loses the scaffolding that keeps it taut. Aging skin also repairs itself less readily than it once did, which leaves it more vulnerable to environmental damage from sun exposure and pollution.
Why Collagen Is the Target of Every Treatment Here
The treatments above look very different from one another, but they share a single objective: prompting the skin to build new collagen. They simply take different routes to it.
Renuvion combines helium and RF energy to contract the deeper layers of the skin, the RF stimulating collagen production while the cooling helium limits bruising and swelling. Fractional laser resurfacing removes narrow columns of skin and leaves the surrounding tissue intact, and the tiny wounds it creates trigger a healing response that activates collagen and draws growth factors to the area. Radiofrequency microneedling delivers energy below the surface to stimulate elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid together, the building blocks that keep skin tight and smooth.

Tightening the Skin You Already Have
What these options share is that they firm existing skin rather than cutting any of it away. A surgical lift works by removing tissue. The treatments on this page aim for a lifted, tighter result without general anesthesia and without excising skin, which is what makes them a realistic option for patients who are not prepared to undergo surgery.
If your concern sits mainly along the jawline and neck, we cover the same ground in more depth on our non-surgical neck lift page.
Protecting Your Results
Collagen loss does not stop simply because it has been treated, so what happens afterward matters. Sun exposure and smoking both accelerate the breakdown of skin structure, and limiting them is among the most useful things you can do to hold on to a result. A consistent, medical-grade skincare routine matched to your skin type supports the same goal, which is why a custom plan sits alongside the procedural options above rather than after them.
Skin tightening improves laxity. It does not halt aging. Individual results vary.
