ABSTRACT:
A noninvasive skin-tightening method is provided wherein a target line or wrinkle is selected that the patient wishes to minimize or eradicate. A pair of lines is scratched in the skin parallel to and one on each side of the target line. Preferably two series of lines are then scratched in the skin, one series parallel to each of the first pair of lines, with a separation of at least 1/16 inch. The post-treatment steps include cleaning the scratches with antibacterial soap, drying the area, and massaging with antibacterial topical cream. Once the lines scratched in the skin are permitted to heal, the skin is found to be tightened.
