Skin Tightening
Skin resurfacing is the removal of the outer layer of the skin using a laser to uncover a younger beauty hidden just underneath the surface.
Laser resurfacing is used to treat sunspots, facial scars, facial wrinkles, and the photo aging changes in facial skin. It works by vaporizing the upper layer of skin away as opposed to peeling it with a mild chemical burn. It can be used to treat the whole face or portions of it. For example, one may treat just the wrinkles around the mouth and not the entire face.

Our Skin Tightening Treatments in Baltimore
At Sultan Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, we provide several minimally invasive skin tightening treatments:
- FaceTite
- AccuTite
- Morpheus8
What is Facetite?
FaceTite is a new procedure that is comparable to a surgical facelift, without scars.
FaceTite provides a dramatic improvement in skin laxity on the face and neck, which was previously only attainable through a surgical procedure such as a facelift. FaceTite utilizes minimally invasive radio-frequency energy to melt fat and tighten skin.
What Kind of Procedure Care is Required?
FaceTite is a minimally-invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia or light sedation. Post-procedure, patients can go home and resume regular activities shortly after. Wearing a compression garment is required for the best results.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Any areas on the face and neck with saggy skin can be treated. This includes the double chin, jowls, and other areas with deep lines and loose skin.
How Is This Better Than a Facelift?
By avoiding an excisional facelift procedure, patients will be scar free and will benefit from reduced post-procedural swelling and discomfort. This is a less traumatic process with a natural-looking final result.
How Quickly Will I See Results?
Results can be seen immediately, with the best results noticeable after 6 months, and continuing up to 12 months.

What is MORPHEUS8?
Morpheus8 is a new subdermal adipose remodeling device (SARD) that fractionally remodels and contours the face and body. Penetrating deep into the skin and fat, this morphs the aging face or body into a more desired smooth and sleek appearance, for all skin tones. Morpheus8 has the ability to penetrate deeper into the skin than any other micro-needling device, going as deep as 4mm. Patient comfort is a major advantage of this device because of the sharper needles and tiny punctures it causes in the skin without tugging or pulling. M8 can be used for but is not limited to treating wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, surgical scars, and more.

Patient comfort is a major advantage of this device because of the sharper needles and tiny punctures it causes in the skin without tugging or pulling. M8 can be used for, but is not limited to, treating wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, surgical scars, and more.
Morpheus8 is a fractional skin treatment that stimulates collagen production of the underlying layers of the dermis. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, the building blocks will reorganize themselves in a natural anti-aging process.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Morpheus8 can be used in any area that can benefit from sub-dermal renewal. The most commonly treated areas include the lower face and neck. Areas of the face and body that exhibit wrinkles, discoloration, or acne scarring are suitable for treatment.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Depending on your Morpheus8 treatment regime you can expect to have between 1-3 sessions.
How Quickly Will I See Results?
Visible results can be seen within a few days, but typically after three weeks, the most noticeable results appear. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment.
What is The Benefit of Fractionated Energy?
Fractionated RF energy is a scientifically proven method to reduce wrinkles and rebuild collagen and fat. It is minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro pins to renew deeper layers of the skin with almost no patient downtime.
Can Anyone Use MORPHEUS8?
Morpheus8’s color-blind technology benefits all skin types. Its unique properties allow the treatment of even darker tones.
What is The Benefit of RF Energy?
RF energy heats the deep layers of the skin in a controlled way to revitalize the collagen. The treatment will improve skin complexion and texture for a more radiant and youthful appearance.
Can This be Used in Combination With Other Treatments?
Yes, Morpheus8 can be used in the same treatment session or a few days after other treatments.
When Can I Put Make-up on After Treatment?
Since patient downtime is minimal, make-up can be applied one to two days after the treatment. Depending on treatment parameters, patients should expect to see micro lesions a few days after treatment and slight redness for up to one week.
What Kind of Post Procedure Care is Required?
Patients should moisturize the treatment area and avoid direct sun exposure. It is also recommended that patients use good, broad-spectrum sunscreen every day. In addition to reducing their future risk of skin cancer, sunscreens also reduce wrinkles and slow the aging process.

What to Expect – Skin Tightening Procedure
Dr. Sultan will assess your skin concerns during your consultation and discuss your goals to create a personalized treatment plan.
Depending on the chosen procedure, a local anesthetic may be applied to ensure comfort. The treatment involves delivering controlled RF energy to targeted areas, stimulating collagen production, and tightening the skin.
Recovery & Results
Post-treatment, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness, which typically subsides within a few days. Most patients can return to daily activities within 24-48 hours, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for a few days. To optimize healing, keep your skin hydrated and protected with gentle skin care and sunscreen.
Results gradually develop as collagen regenerates, with noticeable improvements appearing over several weeks to months. Follow Dr. Sultan’s aftercare instructions and consider periodic maintenance treatments for the best and longest-lasting results.
