Skin Tightening in Calgary

Yes, most skin treatments performed at Beacon Dermatology are safe for all skin types - especially those that utilize radiofrequency technology, as it is a minimally invasive and highly effective option for everyone.

These treatments are safe for adults, so if you are over 18 and suit the candidate criteria, you can go ahead with your skin tightening treatment.

If you opt for a microneedling skin tightening treatment, you should expect your session to take half an hour to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area. For CoolSculpting, expect your treatment to take around 30 to 90 minutes.

After any of Beacon Dermatology's skin tightening treatments, you can return to normal activities immediately but should avoid strenuous exercise or lifting heavy objects. You may experience some swelling, bruising, and/or redness for 2-3 days, along with soreness after your coolsculpting treatment. Any discomfort will subside quickly, and you can return to all regular activities within a week.

Generally, you should:

• Only take medications approved by your physician and dermatologist, including over-the-counter medications.
• Stay hydrated.
• Get plenty of rest.
• Avoid prolonged sun exposure.
• Avoid strenuous activities for the first week.
• Apply makeup and wear tight clothing once you are healed from your treatment.
• Follow up with the Beacon Dermatology clinic to ensure you heal fully and determine whether you would like to attend maintenance sessions.
