Skin Tightening
There have been some remarkable advances in recent years in nonsurgical skin tightening treatments for the face and neck, such as InMode’s FaceTite, SkinTite, BodyTite, and Morpheus8 RF microneedling. At our Dallas and Frisco, TX, locations, Dr. Kenkel uses this technology to help stimulate collagen production and restore skin firmness and tone, giving people from Arlington and other nearby cities visible improvements to their appearance.
Dr. Kenkel and his team are highly professional, and are clearly experts in the field. I had an excellent experience each time that I visited the office and felt I could call at any time for any issue. I was never kept waiting for more than 5 minutes in the office, and all of my concerns were addressed by the friendly, professional nurses.

Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
Am I a good candidate for nonsurgical skin tightening?
For nonsurgical skin tightening treatments, the best candidates have good skin quality with only mild to moderate laxity. In particular, skin tightening is a good option for patients who want firmer, more lifted skin in these areas:
- On the cheek
- Along the jawline
- On the neck
- Under the chin
Morpheus8 RF microneedling uses a microneedle technology coupled with radiofrequency energy. FaceTite, SkinTite, and BodyTite use a radiofrequency probe that is operated under the skin. All of these create small areas of micro-injury resulting in a healing process with collagen and elastin deposition.
Results are subtle and won’t be as dramatic as a facelift or brow lift. However, unlike those procedures, skin rejuvenation treatments are nonsurgical.
What should I expect from my consultation?
Dr. Kenkel personally performs all skin tightening treatments and is well versed in their capabilities. He sees the consultation as your opportunity to express what you hope to get out of a skin rejuvenation treatment. During the consultation, his job is primarily to answer your questions, alleviate your concerns, and listen as you explain your goals for the treatment.
The consultation is also Dr. Kenkel’s time to examine your face and neck. He discusses the results you can expect from treatment — and, depending on your goals, he determines whether you are a candidate for skin tightening procedures or whether surgical intervention would be necessary to achieve the goals you want.
Once you meet with Dr. Kenkel, we will take photos of your treatment areas to save in your file. You will also talk with Debbie, our coordinator, about pricing and financing. She will also be happy to answer any lingering questions you may have about skin tightening treatments.
How much do skin tightening treatments cost in Dallas & Frisco?
With Morpheus8, FaceTite, SkinTite, and BodyTite, treatments vary from patient to patient. This makes it difficult to accurately provide a quote without first meeting with the patient. In your consultation, Dr. Kenkel will assess your goals, examine your face and neck, and determine a treatment plan that we can then use as the basis for a written estimate. This estimate will reflect the specifics of your treatment, as well as the fees associated with anesthesia and more. If you decide to pursue a skin tightening treatment, we do ask that you provide a $500 deposit to reserve your session.

Credentials You Can Trust
What are Morpheus8, FaceTite, SkinTite, and BodyTite?
The goal of these treatments is to stimulate the production of new collagen, the natural protein that keeps skin toned. Morpheus8 couples radiofrequency energy with microneedles, creating small areas of injury beneath the skin. FaceTite, SkinTite and BodyTite use a probe directed under the skin to heat the undersurface of the skin to the desired temperature, allowing for skin injury and, ultimately, tightening.
What happens during a treatment session?
Your session lasts 60 to 90 minutes, depending on how much of the face and neck will be treated. In most cases, Dr. Kenkel will use a local anesthetic to help control discomfort during the procedure. During treatment, Dr. Kenkel uses a handpiece to deliver energy to the tissue layers underneath the skin. This stimulates the growth of new collagen in the target areas, which leads to firmer, smoother skin.
During a Morpheus8 treatment, patients report a warm sensation; some patients report sensitivity along the bony areas of the eye socket and jawline. He strives to make your experience as comfortable as possible.
Should I expect downtime or side effects?
With skin tightening treatments, there is a small amount of swelling noted for a few days. You may resume your normal activities within 4 hours of treatment. Some swelling and redness in the treated areas are normal, but both should recede fully within a few days.
What should I know about the results?
In most cases, patients will require several treatment sessions to get their desired outcome.
Because these treatments stimulate natural healing processes, the results are subtle and develop gradually. The full effects of treatment usually take 3 to 6 months to appear.
