We offer today’s most innovative skin tightening treatment options at our Los Gatos, CA, practice. They use heat generated by radiofrequency and ultrasound technologies to create controlled damage to the underlying tissue, rebuilding and remodeling collagen. This results in tighter, smoother, more youthful skin as organized collagen bundles together.
Determining the correct skin tightening treatment involves assessing your skin and goals during a consultation at RefinedMD. Some treatments require one session per year for optimal results, while others need an initial series of treatments. Being proactive in your 30s and 40s, when collagen and elastin begin to break down, is the best way to delay the signs of aging.
My experience with Dr Swengel, Eric, and his staff has been amazing since day one. Since the first day I came to this beautiful clinic, everyone has been extremely hospitable, friendly, kind, professional, and accommodating… I feel blessed and very thankful that I found this clinic. This is the best aesthetics place I have ever been to.

Some of our most popular treatments include:
Ultherapy®: Uses ultrasound energy to reverse the effects of gravity and stimulate the body’s regenerative response. It is best for areas under the chin, the neck, the décolletage, and the eyebrow area.
Thermage® FLX: The newest generation of radiofrequency skin tightening. It is ideal for delicate skin around the eyes, lower face, jowls, abdomen, and loose skin above the knees.
Renuvion® J-Plasma: Using RF energy and helium-based plasma technology, J-Plasma heats tissue at high temperatures in under a second, providing optimal results without burns or blisters and virtually no downtime.
Sofwave™: Using breakthrough ultrasound technology, Sofwave addresses mild to modest skin laxity by stimulating new collagen production.
Combining skin tightening with targeted fat reduction, Exilis uses heat and ultrasound energy applied to the face or body. It penetrates deep into the skin to shrink fat cells while stimulating collagen growth.
Infini combines radiofrequency technology with microneedling to address saggy skin, skin texture issues, and wrinkles. The high-intensity radiofrequency technology stimulates the body’s collagen production response, giving your skin a youthful, refreshed glow.
Designed for the face and body, these treatments also use radiofrequency to heat the skin, causing collagen shrinkage for a tighter, smoother appearance. New collagen production fills in the dimples and wrinkles caused by cellulite, with the effects continuing after the session.
ThermiBody is designed exclusively for treating cellulite, lax skin, and stubborn fat on the abs, hips, thighs, and back. Radiofrequency is used to tighten these challenging areas, resulting in fast tightening, shrinking, and a collagen boost.
