Skin tightening at The Mom Loft is a non-surgical treatment that firms loose, crepey, or sagging skin on the face, jawline, and neck. We use the SharpLight, which delivers radiofrequency (RF) and infrared energy into the deeper layers of the skin. That heat tightens existing collagen and triggers your skin to build new collagen. There are no needles and no incisions, and most clients go straight back to their day.
Sessions start at $150 for the under-jawline area, and full-face sessions start at $250. Your first consultation is free. Monthly payment plans are available on treatments and packages of $1,000 or more.

Skin tightening works best on skin that has lost firmness but not structure. That means mild to moderate looseness, not heavy folds.
The lower face usually shows looseness first. That is why the jawline and under-chin area are the most commonly treated zones. Skin tightening can help with:
Neck and chest skin is thinner than facial skin, so it creases and loosens more easily. Treating the neck and décolleté together improves horizontal neck lines and crepey chest skin. It also keeps the neck from looking older than a treated face.
The same approach is used for loose skin on the arms, lower abdomen, knees, and thighs. These areas are common after pregnancy or weight loss. Body prices are in the pricing table below. For how body treatment works, see our body skin tightening page.
Most people search for "laser skin tightening." The technology we use for tightening is not a cutting or resurfacing laser. The SharpLight platform uses radiofrequency (RF) and infrared energy to heat the dermis, the layer under the surface where collagen and elastin sit. The surface of the skin stays intact.
That controlled heat does two things:
The energy works under the surface without breaking the skin, so there is no wound to heal. That is why skin tightening has little to no downtime. It is also why results build gradually instead of appearing all at once.
Yes, for the right skin. Energy-based skin tightening reliably improves mild to moderate looseness: a softening jawline, early jowls, crepey neck skin, and fine lines. The improvement is real but measured. Most people look firmer and more rested, not "different."
Skin tightening does not replace a facelift. Heavy jowls, deep folds, and large amounts of excess skin need surgery to remove or reposition tissue, and heat alone cannot do that.
Results also depend on:
At your consultation, we tell you honestly whether you are likely to see a worthwhile change.
Skin tightening is not performed if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, have metal implants in the treatment area, have an active skin infection or open wound in the area, or have used isotretinoin (Accutane) in the past 6 months. We review your full medical history at the consultation before any treatment.
If looseness is advanced, skin tightening will make only a small difference. Advanced means heavy jowls, a hanging neck, or significant excess skin. In that case, we will tell you directly that a surgical consultation with a plastic surgeon is the better next step.
Hormonal changes, weight shifts, and months of broken sleep can leave facial and neck skin looking less firm after pregnancy. Skin tightening is one of the most time-friendly ways to address this. Sessions are short, and there is no recovery period to plan around.
You can start skin tightening at least 6 weeks after a vaginal birth or 8 weeks after a C-section, once your doctor has cleared you.
Each session takes about 30–45 minutes, and you can go straight back to your day. Our clinic is family-friendly, and you are welcome to bring your baby to your appointment.
The face and neck respond well when looseness is mild to moderate. Loose skin on the stomach is treated with our body protocol; see our body skin tightening page. Large amounts of excess abdominal skin after pregnancy cannot be tightened away with energy devices. That situation usually needs a surgical consultation.

Most clients need 4–8 sessions, spaced every 2–3 weeks. Mild looseness in one area needs fewer sessions. Treating the face and neck together, or more noticeable looseness, needs more.
What the timeline looks like:
After each session: subtle firming. Part of this is collagen contraction, and part is mild swelling that settles within a day.
During the series: skin looks progressively firmer as new collagen forms.
3–6 months after your last session: you see the full result, as the new collagen matures.
How long results last: about 1–2 years. Your skin keeps aging naturally, so most clients book a maintenance session every 3–6 months to hold the result.
Most clients feel a deep warmth that builds and eases as the handpiece moves. No numbing is needed.
There is no downtime for most people. Common, temporary effects are:
These usually settle within a few hours and occasionally last up to a day. Less common risks include blistering, burns, and temporary changes in skin colour. These risks are lower when you follow the before-and-after instructions and tell us about recent sun exposure.
Avoid tanning and self-tanner for 2 weeks before treatment.
"Booked a free consult because my jawline was driving me crazy. The $150 sessions are actually super reasonable for the city. It just feels warm, no pain at all, and I'm definitely seeing a tighter lift under my chin. Great spot."
"Did a package for full face and neck. They set me up on a payment plan which made it way easier to budget. The best part is zero downtime, I literally hop right back on the TTC to go back to work. Skin feels way firmer."
"such a hidden gem. I hated the crepey skin on my neck but absolutely refuse to do needles or surgery. The sharplight machine they use is totally painless. Took a few sessions but my neck looks way better now."
Yes. Radiofrequency energy heats tissue without targeting skin pigment, so it is suitable for a wide range of skin tones, including skin types I–V. Your provider confirms the right settings for your skin at the consultation.
Yes. Skin tightening is often combined with skin rejuvenation for tone and sun damage, or with injectables for volume. Treatments are usually spaced at least 2 weeks apart. We plan the order and timing with you.
You can usually apply makeup the next morning.
Your consultation is free and comes with no obligation. We assess your skin, answer your questions, and confirm your plan and price before any treatment.
