Tighten and Tone: How Fotona TightSculpting Helps Firm Your Body Without Surgery
Loose or crepey skin on the arms, stomach, thighs or neck can be incredibly frustrating — especially when diet and exercise don’t seem to help. Whether it’s due to weight fluctuations, ageing, or post-pregnancy changes, many people are looking for safe and effective ways to tighten their skin without going under the knife.
At Platinum Cosmetics in Port Melbourne, Fotona TightSculpting® offers a dual-action laser solution that tightens the skin and contours the body with no needles, no downtime, and no invasive procedures.
What is Fotona TightSculpting?
TightSculpting is a unique two-step laser treatment that combines deep tissue heating with skin surface remodelling. Using Fotona’s Nd:YAG and Er:YAG laser modes, it delivers energy in two ways:
Deep bulk heating: Penetrates into the fat layers to stimulate fat metabolism and collagen production. This helps reduce circumference and improve tissue firmness.
Surface tightening: Gently resurfaces and remodels the skin, improving tone and reducing laxity.
Together, these modes work to firm, smooth, and shape the treated area — all without surgery or recovery time.
What areas can TightSculpting treat?
TightSculpting is effective for multiple parts of the body, including:
Abdomen and waist
Inner and outer thighs
Upper arms (including “bat wings”)
Hips and flanks
Jawline and neck
Knees
It’s often chosen as a non-surgical alternative to liposuction or body lift procedures, especially for those looking to address mild to moderate laxity and contouring.
What does it feel like?
The treatment feels warm — similar to a deep tissue massage with heat. Most clients find it comfortable, though some areas may feel more sensitive depending on skin thickness and fat content.
There’s no need for anaesthetic, and most sessions take 30–60 minutes depending on the area treated.
How many sessions will I need?
For best results, we typically recommend a course of 4 to 6 sessions, spaced 2–4 weeks apart. Results develop gradually as your body builds new collagen and metabolises fat — with ongoing improvements for weeks after your last treatment.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Fotona TightSculpting can be part of a complete rejuvenation plan, especially when combined with:
Facials or skin rejuvenation to address skin tone and texture
Body contouring tools or skincare to support skin firmness
Lifestyle changes (hydration, resistance training, skin nutrition) for long-term results
We’ll tailor a treatment plan based on your goals and areas of concern.
