The lunchtime face-lift has arrived! No more lines! No more wrinkles! Clinic 158 is the only Scottish clinic that provides skin tightening.

What is skin tightening?

Skin tightening is a safe non-surgical cosmetic therapy designed to produce more youthful skin and improve skin quality. It was developed by leading US plastic surgeons and dermatologists. It is a quick procedure and involves no downtime or surgery.

How does it work?

Using high intensity laser technology, it remodels the collagen in the dermis, 2-6 mm below the surface of the skin, producing more youthful looking skin, ironing out lines and wrinkles, and better textured skin with smaller pore size.

What can I expect during treatment?

After putting on eye protection, the treatment takes from a few minutes up to an hour to complete, depending on the area treated. There is a short-lasting feeling of heat in the area being treated, with a sensation of a thin elastic band gently flicking the skin, lasting seconds. We use a cold pack on the skin, so any discomfort is taken away quickly. The treatment is not painful and there is no need to use local anaesthetic. Precautions - avoid strong sunlight and tanning lotions whilst undergoing therapy and use a high SPF sun factor, as this may cause unusual skin pigmentation.

How much does it cost?

Depending on the area you wish treated, costs start from £180 per treatment session. For the best results most clients need at least 2 or 3 treatments. Areas that can be treated are face, neck, arms abdomen, legs and thighs. Acne scarring, scarring in general and stretch marks can also be improved upon.
