Covid Policy PricingWhy Does Saggy Skin Occur?
Saggy skin occurs primarily due to the ageing process, when the body produces less collagen and elastin, reducing skin firmness and resilience. Genetics, environmental factors, such as sun exposure and smoking, and even rapid weight loss, also play a role in developing lax skin.
Fortunately, the Dr. Jodie clinic provides various treatments for skin tightening and firming. They work predominantly to improve skin laxity by stimulating the body’s natural collagen and elastin production mechanisms. Within the Dr. Jodie Clinic skin tightening arsenal are the Scarlet S Radio Frequency Microneedling device, Laser Genesis, and IPL skin rejuvenation. The clinic also offers other medical skin tightening treatments, which cannot legally be discussed online as they are Schedule 4 medications.
To prevent the development of saggy skin and to enhance your treatment outcomes, it is essential to maintain an appropriate skin care regime, including using 50+ SPF sunscreen, avoid the sun and to live a healthy lifestyle.

Skin Rejuvenation Skin Laser Skin TighteningAt the forefront of minimally invasive skin tightening methods stands the Scarlet S Radio Frequency Microneedling device. By combining microneedling with the power of radiofrequency energy, this sophisticated technology triggers your body’s own healing mechanisms, promoting the generation of elastin and collagen. This process ultimately leads to firmer, tighter skin with improved elasticity and a fresher appearance.
The Scarlet S Radio Frequency Microneedling device also improves skin irregularities and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, and acne scarring. This advanced solution can help you achieve smoother-looking skin.
Surprisingly, the Scarlet S Radio Frequency Microneedling device has minimal recovery time for such an innovative treatment. Clients most commonly experience mild facial redness for 1-2 days. Sometimes, there will be faint, barely visible, transient ‘grid marks’ that resolve over 1-2 weeks – at worst.
Compared to its counterparts, the Morpheus 8 and the Secret, treatment with the Scarlet S typically involves less downtime and pain. This is mainly due to its patented technology with gold-plated, tapered, non-insulated microneedles that heat the entirety of the skin in a single pass. Other skin technologies that use insulated needles require multiple passes through the skin to treat all layers effectively. This process adds to the skin trauma and recovery time, with no better results than the Scarlet S Radio Frequency Microneedling device. Even so, all devices carry risks which will be fully explored during your Dr. Jodie consultation appointment.
Radio-frequency skin tightening typically requires serial sessions. At the Dr. Jodie clinic, we recommend a minimum of 3 treatments, preferably 4, for the best results and optimal skin tightening. The Scarlet S Radio-Frequency Microneedling device is suitable for use in all skin types, so no one misses out!
Laser Genesis is a non-invasive laser treatment renowned for its ability to enhance skin firmness by heating the lower layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This device is a favourite among our clients, as no recovery time is required, allowing you to get on with your day without having to adjust your social calendar.
Beyond skin firming and tightening, Laser Genesis has the added benefits of smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, improving acne scarring, and minimising pores. It also minimises facial flushing and redness by shrinking the small, broken capillaries of your face.
Like most treatments in the Dr. Jodie clinic, serial sessions are required for your best outcome. We recommend a series of 4-6 treatments spaced 1 month apart.
How Does Medi Pulse Pro XL IPL Treatment Lead To Skin Tightening In Dr. Jodie Clinic Near Forest Hill Clinic?
The Medi Pulse Pro XL IPL rejuvenation treatment releases a broad band of light onto your skin. This light encounters a range of targets, including water molecules and molecules responsible for the colour of your skin, oxyhaemoglobin (responsible for the red hue) and melanin (responsible for the brown hue). These targets absorb the light as heat, effectively damaging your skin. Your body’s natural renewal processes then remove old, damaged tissue and replace it with new, fresh skin, which brings new collagen and elastin. This results in tighter, smoother skin with enhanced elasticity.
While Medi Pulse Pro IPL treatments that focus on skin pigmentation and vascular complaints require recovery time, rejuvenation treatments often do not. Rejuvenation treatments with IPL therapy at Dr. Jodie Clinic are low to no downtime events with minimal disruptions to daily life that result in gradual skin transformations. For optimal results, serial treatments are required.
Does The Dr. Jodie Clinic Offer Any Other Means For Skin Tightening?
Yes, they do! Some of our skin firming treatments cannot be discussed online, as they infer the use of schedule 4 medications, which cannot legally be advertised, as per our governing body, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). It is important to consult with your Dr. Jodie clinician to discover your available options and see if these treatments are right for you. For suitable candidates, these treatments provide a fantastic adjunct to devices in the quest for skin tightening.
The Dr. Jodie clinic shines as a leader in aesthetic medicine by providing a pathway to tighter and more vibrant skin. Fuelled by knowledge, experience, and a dedication to cosmetic excellence, at the Dr. Jodie Clinic, you can expect:

Loose skin is chiefly a result of the natural ageing process, where the body produces less collagen and elastin, leading to a decrease in skin firmness and elasticity. Other factors that can contribute to loose skin include genetics, environmental factors like sun exposure and smoking, and rapid weight loss. The Dr. Jodie Clinic offers a range of treatments aimed at firming and tightening the skin. These treatments work by stimulating the body’s natural collagen and elastin production mechanisms.
The Scarlet S Radio Frequency Microneedling device combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to trigger the body’s healing mechanisms, promoting collagen and elastin production. This results in tighter, firmer skin with improved elasticity and a refreshed appearance. The Scarlet S Radio Frequency Microneedling device can also improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scarring, wrinkles, and enlarged pores. This provides our clients with an advanced solution for smoother-looking skin.
Laser Genesis is a non-invasive laser treatment that heats the lower layers of the skin, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. This treatment is a favourite of the Dr. Jodie Clinic clients because it enhances skin firmness without any recovery time required. The Laser Genesis can also improve acne scarring, smooth fine lines, and wrinkles, and minimise pores to provide comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
The Medi Pulse Pro XL IPL treatment uses broad-spectrum light to target water, oxyhaemoglobin, and melanin in the skin. This stimulates the renewal processes and removes old tissue, unwanted blood vessels, and pigmentation. New elastin and collagen are produced, resulting in tighter, smoother, and clearer skin. Treatments for pigmentation and vascular issues may require downtime, however, rejuvenation treatments often do not, offering a gradual transformation with minimal disruption. For the best results, serial treatments are usually needed.
The Dr. Jodie Clinic stands out as a leader in aesthetic medicine for their clients by offering access to cutting-edge technologies and a holistic, patient-centred approach. With personalised care and over 15 years of experience in aesthetic medicine, Dr. Jodie and her team are dedicated to delivering exceptional care and reliable outcomes.
