Small growths, crepey eyelid skin, and early laxity can be frustrating, especially when you’d rather avoid surgery. Specialized treatments can target these concerns with precision.
Our Boston providers use CryoPen™, Plasma Pen, and PDO threads to remove, tighten, and lift, choosing the option that best fits your skin, your concern, and your schedule.
A precise cryotherapy device that freezes benign skin tags, small lesions, and some spots, with minimal effect on surrounding skin. Treated spots usually flake away within a few weeks.
Uses a tiny plasma arc to tighten and lift loose skin around the eyes, mouth, and neck without surgery. Collagen continues to build for weeks afterward.
Dissolvable threads placed beneath the skin to lift gently and stimulate collagen. They’re often used along the jawline, cheeks, and brows for subtle contouring.
Your provider recommends the right treatment and explains the steps.
Treatment
The area is cleansed, and numbing is applied when needed.
Most procedures take 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment.
Afterward
Mild redness, swelling, or small scabs are normal and fade over days.
Results continue to improve as your skin heals and builds collagen.

Does CryoPen™ hurt?
