Skin Tightening & Laxity in Charleston, SC
Skin laxity develops as collagen production declines over time, causing the skin to lose structure and appear looser or less defined. SG Aesthetics & Wellness offers advanced laser and energy-based treatments in Charleston to tighten skin, improve firmness, and restore more defined contours without surgery.
Is Skin Tightening Right for You?
- You have loose or sagging skin on your face, neck, jawline, or body that has developed with age or weight changes
- Your skin feels less firm than it used to and does not respond to topical skincare alone
- You want to improve skin firmness and definition without surgery or significant downtime
- You have noticed a loss of contour around your jaw, neck, or cheeks
- You are at or near a stable weight and are looking to address the quality of your skin rather than volume

Frequently Asked Questions
Cost depends on which treatment is recommended, the number of areas addressed, and the number of sessions required. During your consultation, your provider will build a personalized treatment plan and provide pricing. SG Aesthetics offers financing options for patients who prefer to spread the cost over time.
The number of sessions varies by treatment and the degree of laxity being addressed. CO2 laser typically delivers significant improvement in a single session. Morpheus8 may be recommended as a series of 2–3 treatments depending on your goals. Your provider will outline a recommended treatment plan at your consultation.
CO2 laser resurfacing addresses the surface and deeper layers of the skin simultaneously, making it effective for more significant laxity and texture concerns. Morpheus8 targets the deeper tissue using RF energy delivered through microneedles, with less surface disruption and a shorter recovery period. Your provider will recommend the most appropriate option based on your skin type and goals. See CO2 Laser in Charleston, SC and Morpheus8 in Charleston, SC for more detail.
Erbium laser resurfacing is primarily used for skin texture, tone, and mild laxity. For patients with moderate to significant laxity as the primary concern, CO2 laser or Morpheus8 tends to be more appropriate. Your provider can help determine which treatment fits your situation.

Device selection depends on your skin type. Aerolase is safe across a broad range of skin tones and is often recommended for patients with darker skin types. CO2 laser and Morpheus8 require an assessment to determine candidacy based on skin tone and condition. Your provider will select the appropriate device at your consultation.
