Skin Tightening Surgery in Oakville

ICLS Plastic Surgery is a leading provider of surgical skin tightening, welcoming patients from the Greater Toronto Area to our Oakville clinic. ICLS Plastic Surgery continues to lead the way in aesthetic innovation as the first clinic in Canada to offer the brand-new Renuvion ApyxOne. This state-of-the-art technology delivers next-level skin-tightening results with minimal downtime, making it a powerful alternative or addition to traditional surgery.

Renuvion (formerly known as J-Plasma) uses a unique combination of radiofrequency energy and cold helium plasma to contract the skin from the inside out.
  • The ApyxOne Advantage: As early adopters of the latest ApyxOne system, our patients benefit from the most advanced energy delivery available. This system delivers precise, 360-degree subdermal heating, resulting in up to 50% greater collagen contraction than traditional RF devices.
  • Pre-Op Care: Patients receive a specific Alastin Skincare regimen (including Repair and ReForm) tailored to their surgical plan.
  • Superior Safety: Our protocol includes the use of an HOCl electrolyzed solution post-operatively to promote optimal healing and prevent infection.

How Is Surgical Skin Tightening Performed?

Our unique skin tightening with radiofrequency techniques can accompany body contouring surgeries that target excess skin and tissue on the arms, abdomen, thighs, knees, breasts and elsewhere. Additionally, certain skin tightening treatments (e.g. the FaceTite™ system) can address the face, neck and chin (submental area).*

Depending on the unique system being utilized, skin tightening typically involves a minimally invasive process in which a small device is placed into the subcutaneous skin layer. We often use a local anesthetic to numb the area. From there, Dr. Khanna will heat the skin with powerful RF energy, which can renew collagen and encourage cell regeneration.* Patients may feel warmth or a tingling sensation as the device is used in the treatment area, but these effects are generally mild. Keep in mind that the course of the rest of the procedure will vary depending on whether other surgical techniques (e.g. liposuction, abdominoplasty, or facelift surgery) are employed.

 

What Does Surgical Skin Tightening Aftercare Involve?

Following a standalone skin tightening session or the skin tightening component of surgery, the treatment area is cleaned and a compression garment is applied. This should be worn as much as possible for the first week and then nightly for three weeks. An ice pack can be used to help cool the area down post-treatment. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for two to three weeks in order to avoid excess swelling.

Otherwise, the specifics of your recovery will depend on the other procedure(s) performed. During your consultation, we will form a personalized plan to help you have a smooth, safe and quick aftercare process.
