A refined approach to skin tightening, delivered by the team at Dr Joney De Souza Skin and laser clinic.
Loss of firmness, softening of the jawline and changes in skin texture are among the earliest signs of ageing. When left untreated, these changes can gradually affect facial definition, skin quality and overall confidence.
At the Dr Joney De Souza Clinic in Marylebone, we offer a refined, medically led approach to non surgical skin tightening and rejuvenation. Treatments are selected based on your skin’s structure, collagen health and long term goals, not trends or standardised protocols.
Using advanced ultrasound, radiofrequency microneedling and CO2 laser technology, Dr Joney De Souza creates personalised treatment plans that restore firmness, stimulate collagen and improve skin quality while maintaining a natural, elegant appearance.
CO2 laser resurfacing focuses on improving skin texture, fine lines, pigmentation and overall tone. By stimulating collagen through controlled resurfacing, it helps strengthen the skin and enhance clarity.
While not primarily a lifting treatment, CO2 laser plays an important role in rejuvenation, particularly for patients with sun damage or advanced textural concerns.
Choose Ultherapy if your priority is lifting and structural support
Choose Morpheus8 if you want tightening with improved texture and tone
Choose CO2 Laser if resurfacing and skin renewal are your main concern
Many patients benefit most from a carefully planned combination rather than a single treatment.
Ultherapy is an ultrasound based treatment designed to lift and tighten the skin by stimulating collagen within the deep foundational layers. This is the same layer targeted during surgical lifting procedures.
Ultherapy is particularly effective for the jawline, lower face, neck and brow. Results develop gradually, creating a natural lift without injectables or downtime.
This treatment is ideal for patients seeking visible definition and firmness with minimal disruption to daily life.
Morpheus8 combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to remodel the skin at multiple depths. It improves firmness while also refining texture, pores and overall skin clarity.
This treatment is well suited to patients with mild to moderate laxity who also want visible improvement in skin quality. Morpheus8 is often used on the lower face, cheeks and jawline and can complement Ultherapy for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
As we age, collagen and elastin production slows. Environmental exposure, stress and lifestyle factors further weaken the skin’s support structure. Over time, this leads to reduced elasticity, softening of facial contours and changes in skin texture.
Effective skin tightening treatments work by stimulating new collagen at different levels of the skin, strengthening the tissue from within rather than masking the issue at the surface.
There is no single solution for skin laxity. Some patients need deeper lifting, while others require improved texture and skin quality. At the Dr Joney De Souza Clinic, treatment selection is based on what will deliver the most refined and natural result for you.
At Dr Joney De Souza Skin and Laser, we have observed a clear shift towards preventative aesthetics, particularly among younger patients who are seeking to protect skin quality before visible ageing becomes established.
As highlighted in Country and Town House, this growing focus on prejuvenation reflects a more proactive mindset. “Prejuvenation is all about prevention,” explains Dr Joney. “Younger clients, particularly those in their twenties, are opting for techniques that avoid injectables while still addressing early signs of ageing. Light laser therapies, gentle chemical peels and resurfacing treatments help maintain skin health and prevent wrinkles and sagging before they appear.”
This evolution in patient behaviour is echoed in Harper’s Bazaar, where Dr De Souza notes an increasing demand for customised, non injectable treatments that lift and tighten the skin while supporting long term collagen health. “We are seeing a greater interest in advanced laser therapies, radiofrequency microneedling and ultrasound based treatments such as Ultherapy PRIME,” he explains. “These less invasive options offer minimal downtime, reduced risk and clinically proven results, making them ideal for patients who want to invest in their skin early.”
All treatments begin with a consultation with the team at Dr Joney De Souza clinic in marylebone. This includes a detailed assessment of your skin, facial anatomy and degree of laxity.
Dr De Souza will explain which treatment or combination is best suited to your goals, what results you can expect and how long those results are likely to last. Treatment plans are always bespoke and medically led.

Yes. Ultherapy, Morpheus8 and CO2 laser are clinically proven treatments that stimulate collagen at different depths of the skin. When selected correctly and performed by an experienced clinician, they can significantly improve firmness, texture and overall skin quality.
The best treatment depends on your skin’s needs. Ultherapy is ideal for lifting and structural support, Morpheus8 is suited to tightening with texture improvement, and CO2 laser is best for resurfacing and skin renewal. A consultation determines the most effective approach.
Ultherapy involves no downtime. Morpheus8 may cause mild redness or swelling for one to two days. CO2 laser downtime varies depending on treatment intensity and skin response.
Ultherapy results typically last up to 12 to 18 months. Morpheus8 results usually last around 12 months. CO2 laser results are long lasting with appropriate skincare and maintenance.
Some improvements may be visible within weeks, but collagen remodelling takes time. Full results typically develop over three to six months depending on the treatment used.
