Skin tightening and lifting, matched to your face

Dr Joney De Souza Skin and Laser is a doctor-led clinic in Marylebone, central London, where skin tightening is planned around the face in front of us rather than a single machine. As skin loses collagen, the jawline softens, the brow drops and fine crepiness sets in. The right answer depends on how much lift you need, how much downtime you can spare, and whether the concern is deep structure or surface quality.

Some treatments lift from the deep support layer, some tighten just beneath the skin, and others firm and refine the surface. Often the best result comes from combining two. Your consultation begins with the concern, then we recommend the treatment, or the plan, that suits you.

My ‘less is more’ approach has become the mainstay of my practice, and clients appreciate that they will have natural looking results.

Why patients choose Dr Joney De Souza for skin tightening

A good lifting result comes from matching the right technology to the right layer of the skin, and being honest about what non-surgical treatment can achieve. That judgement is what the clinic is built around.

  • The right treatment, not the only treatment. Because the clinic runs ultrasound, laser, radiofrequency and injectable lifting, the recommendation you get is genuinely matched to your face.
  • Doctor-led where it counts. Your 8-point lift and Endolift are performed by Dr Joney De Souza or Dr Mattia Parducci; energy treatments such as Ultherapy, Morpheus8 and TempSure are delivered by our experienced clinical team.
  • Natural, considered results. The house style is restraint. The aim is a refreshed, lifted look that still reads as you, and results that build gradually as new collagen forms.
  • A trusted central London clinic. Our Marylebone practice welcomes patients from across London, and Dr Joney De Souza’s work has featured in the national and beauty press.

What to expect, step by step

Skin tightening works best as a considered plan rather than a rushed appointment. Here is how the process usually unfolds with us. Open each stage to see what is involved.

Consultation and assessment

Your visit starts with the concern, not the machine. We assess your skin, how much laxity there is and where, then recommend the treatment, or combination, that suits your face and your downtime. This is also where we are honest about what is realistic.

Your plan

We agree a clear plan and price before anything begins, including whether a single treatment or a staged approach will serve you best, and how the results will build over time.

Treatment

Your treatment is carried out by the right person for it, with injectable and laser lifting performed by a doctor and energy treatments by our clinical team. Most feel like warmth or a light prickling and are well tolerated.

Recovery

Downtime ranges from none to a few days depending on the treatment. We give you clear aftercare so any redness or swelling settles well and your result develops as it should.

Results and review

Lifting and tightening results build over the weeks and months after treatment as new collagen forms. You return for a review so we can check your progress and plan any further sessions or maintenance.

Not sure which skin tightening treatment is right for you?

Skin tightening and lifting: your questions answered

Below are the questions we hear most about skin tightening at our Marylebone clinic. If yours is not covered, just ask at your consultation.

Which skin tightening treatment is best for me?

It depends on how much lift you need and how much downtime you can spare. In general, Ultherapy lifts the deep support layer, Endolift tightens the lower face, Morpheus8 firms while improving texture, and an 8-point lift restores support with filler. We match the treatment to your face at your consultation.

How much does skin tightening cost in London?

It depends on the treatment and the area. As a guide, TempSure starts from £450, Morpheus8 from £550, Ultherapy from £765, an 8-point lift from £980, and Endolift from £1,275. Every price includes an assessment. You can see the full breakdown on our prices page, and we confirm your plan at consultation.

Is skin tightening painful?

Most treatments are very tolerable. Ultherapy and Morpheus8 feel like warmth or a light prickling, filler contains anaesthetic, and numbing is used where needed. Any tenderness afterwards settles quickly.

How long do the results last?

Results build gradually and then last well. Ultherapy and Morpheus8 typically last twelve to eighteen months, an 8-point lift up to eighteen months, and Endolift is longer lasting again. A short maintenance plan keeps the result looking its best.

How soon will I see a difference?

Some lift is visible early, but the real change comes as new collagen forms over the following two to six months. That gradual build is what keeps the result looking natural rather than sudden.

Can I combine treatments?

Often, yes. Many patients get the best result from a combination, for example Ultherapy or Morpheus8 for tightening alongside an 8-point lift for support. Your consultation will map out a safe plan and timing.

Is it as good as a surgical facelift?

These are non-surgical treatments, so they lift and firm without the downtime or scarring of surgery. For early to moderate laxity the results can be excellent. Where laxity is advanced, we will tell you honestly if surgery would serve you better.

Who carries out the treatment?

It depends on the treatment. Injectable and laser lifting, such as the 8-point lift and Endolift, are performed by Dr Joney De Souza or Dr Mattia Parducci, while energy treatments like Ultherapy, Morpheus8 and TempSure are delivered by our experienced clinical team, all within a doctor-led clinic in Marylebone.

Do you treat patients from outside central London?

Yes. The clinic sits in Marylebone, within easy reach of Bond Street, Baker Street and Marble Arch, and welcomes patients from across the West End and wider London.

Kind words that made our day 🤍

We were so touched to receive this lovely feedback from a recent client following her PicoSure face treatment with Roma - this one’s for David, Roma, and Dr Joney.

“From the moment I arrived, David and Roma made me feel so welcome and completely at ease. Roma was caring, professional, and took the time to explain the treatment thoroughly, making sure I felt comfortable and reassured throughout. Even after just one session, my skin already feels smoother and looks much more refreshed.”

Moments like this are exactly why we do what we do. It’s not just about the results (although we’re so pleased with how her skin is already responding!), it’s about making every client feel genuinely cared for from the second they walk through the door.

Thank you to our amazing client for such kind words, and to David, Roma, and Dr Joney for the warmth and care you bring to every single appointment 🫶HydraFacial: the secret to that red-carpet glow ✨

Ever wondered what actually happens during a HydraFacial? Here’s a look inside the treatment, step by step, at Dr Joney De Souza.

It begins with a deep cleanse and exfoliation to clear away impurities and prepare the skin, followed by gentle extractions that refine congestion with complete comfort and precision. 

From there, targeted serums and boosters are infused into the skin, tailored entirely to your individual needs, before LED light therapy supports the skin’s long-term health and renewal. 

The treatment finishes with an antioxidant infusion, sealing in radiance for that lit-from-within finish.

This particular treatment was our Deluxe HydraFacial, though for those wanting to elevate the experience further, our Platinum HydraFacial also includes lymphatic drainage, perfect for extra de-puffing and detoxification alongside all the usual glow-boosting benefits.

The result is skin that looks cleansed, replenished, and effortlessly glowing, delivered with the precision and care that defines every treatment here.

📍 Marylebone, London | 020 7043 0748 📱Sculptra vs Juläine: which biostimulator is right for you? 💭

Both Sculptra and Juläine are poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) biostimulators - meaning rather than simply adding volume, they work by encouraging your skin to produce its own natural collagen over time, for results that look and feel truly you.

Sculptra is the original PLLA injectable, with a long-established track record for stimulating collagen and improving skin structure and firmness gradually over several months, with results that can last up to two years.

Juläine is a newer generation PLLA treatment, using more uniform, highly purified microspheres engineered to mix more evenly, which can help reduce inflammation caused by treatment. Like Sculptra, results build gradually, with visible improvements from a few weeks in and full effects developing over a few months. 

Both are excellent options for restoring facial volume, improving skin quality, and softening lines. The right choice really depends on your skin, goals, and what your practitioner recommends for you.

Not sure which is best suited to your skin and goals? Get in touch with us today to book your consultation.

📍Marylebone, London | 020 7043 0748 📱Product Spotlight | Daily Power Defense ✨

ZO Skin Health’s Daily Power Defense is one of those products that quietly does a lot of the heavy lifting in a skincare routine, and it’s become a firm favourite of ours here at the clinic.

Formulated with Vitamins A and E, it helps protect the skin against environmental damage and free radicals, while supporting barrier restoration and long-lasting hydration.
Over time, this can mean fewer visible signs of premature ageing and a stronger, more resilient complexion.

It’s a lightweight daily step, but one that adds up - the kind of product that supports your skin quietly in the background, day after day.

If you’re curious whether it fits into your routine, drop us a DM, or ask at your next appointment 📅
