Ready to Reverse Collagen Loss? 4 Cosmetic Treatments That Can Revitalize Your Skin

As the most abundant protein in the body, collagen impacts everything from joint flexibility to skin’s elasticity. But as early as your mid-twenties, production begins to decline at a rate of about 1-1.5% per year — even faster if you smoke or spend a lot of time in the sun.

If you’re tired of sagging and fine lines staring back at you from the mirror, see the anti-aging specialists at Cascade MedSpa and Laser Centre. Our team offers a broad range of nonsurgical procedures to reverse collagen loss and revitalize your skin.

Whether you’re just starting to notice subtle changes or want to address more advanced signs of aging, the right approach can make all the difference. Let’s explore four types of cosmetic skin tightening treatments and learn about their unique benefits.

Chemical peels

Chemical peels gently remove tired outer layers of skin to reveal a refreshed, tighter-looking complexion. During your session, our aestheticians apply a carefully formulated solution that prompts your skin to shed old, damaged cells and triggers your body’s natural repair process. 

As your skin heals, it creates new, stronger collagen and elastin, visibly tightening loose areas and creating a more lifted appearance. This process also helps smooth texture, reduce fine lines, and even out skin tone.

Peels are available in various strengths so that we can customize your treatment to your needs and goals. Some lighter peels can be done over your lunch break with no downtime, while deeper ones typically require a longer recovery period.

Microdermabrasion and Dermalinfusion®

Microdermabrasion uses a specialized device to buff away dead skin cells on the outer layer of skin. The gentle physical exfoliation encourages cell turnover and collagen production, revealing a smoother, younger-looking complexion.

DiamondGlow® Dermalinfusion takes this a step further. This treatment combines diamond-tip exfoliation with powerful suction to extract impurities and simultaneously infuse revitalizing serums deep into the skin. It immediately plumps and hydrates your skin, leaving you with a fresh, dewy glow and less irritation compared to traditional microdermabrasion.

Microneedling

If you’re looking for a deeper level of skin tightening and rejuvenation, microneedling delivers incredible results. In this procedure, an instrument with ultrafine needles creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin. 

Your body responds with a surge of new collagen and elastin, which rebuilds your skin’s underlying structure for a firmer, smoother appearance.

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling, such as the Exion by BTL system, elevates the microneedling experience. Delivering targeted electromagnetic radiation into the dermis (the middle layer of skin) further amplifies collagen production and cell turnover, resulting in more noticeable results.

Laser and light-based treatments

For gentler rejuvenation, light-based options like IPL (intense pulsed light) and BBL (broadband light) use pulses of broad-spectrum light to reduce hyperpigmentation and subtly firm skin. For more intensive skin resurfacing, our laser treatments include: 

• Halo® hybrid fractional laser
• Profractional laser therapy
• MicroLaserPeel®

These lasers heat up the dermis, actively stimulating ongoing collagen and elastin production.

Each has its own benefits, but they all offer dramatic tightening, improvements in tone and texture, and a noticeable reduction in deeper lines — ideal for addressing more advanced collagen loss and laxity. Our signature laser trifecta treatment combines BBL, MicroLaserPeel, and profractional laser therapy for a complete skin refresh.
