Who it may suit

How does body skin tightening work?
Controlled heat causes collagen fibres to contract and stimulates new collagen over the following months.
What happens during the appointment?

Frequently asked questions
Will it help me lose weight?
No. It addresses skin quality, not weight or fat volume.
Does body skin tightening work without surgery?
Non-surgical body skin tightening uses heat from radiofrequency or similar energy to stimulate collagen. It can give a subtle, gradual firming of mild loose skin on the abdomen, arms or thighs over three to six months. It does not remove excess skin, and significant laxity may need a surgical opinion.
How many body skin tightening sessions are needed?
Most people need four to six body skin tightening sessions, usually one to two weeks apart, depending on the device and area. There is little or no downtime. Results build gradually over several months, and one maintenance session every six to twelve months can help keep them.
How much does body skin tightening cost in Dubai?
At Luméra Clinic, body skin tightening starts from AED 800 per area per session, and most courses are four to six sessions. Larger areas cost more. Your practitioner confirms the plan and full course price in writing at consultation.
