Loose skin happens for many reasons. Whether it’s from natural aging, weight loss, pregnancy, or any other factor, the body can change and leave skin sagging. Often, this lax skin affects people’s confidence.
Dr. Cernero and the team at Cernero Surgery & Aesthetics use nonsurgical methods to tighten lax skin and help patients reach their body goals. Our team uses Quantum, a minimally invasive skin tightening device, to target areas of loose skin and refine our patients’ features.
In this post, we answer common questions about RF skin tightening near Durant, OK, using the Quantum device.
What is Quantum?
The powerful Quantum device uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the lower layers of the skin. This thermal (heat) energy causes the soft tissue to contract, and it stimulates the production of collagen, an essential protein for firm, healthy skin.
Not only does Quantum tighten and lift loose skin, but it can also create improvements in wrinkles and fine lines.
Am I a good candidate for Quantum skin tightening?
Since Quantum can tighten the skin without the need for surgery, we recommend it for patients who have mild-to-moderate loose skin after weight loss or aging.
Patients who make good candidates include individuals who:
- Are near their ideal weight
- Have mild-to-moderate skin laxity on the face or body
- Has realistic expectations for the treatment
- Want to reduce loose skin and contour the body
Does Quantum hurt?
During your session for Quantum, you might experience mild discomfort. To minimize this, Dr. Cernero uses a local anesthetic on your desired treatment area, then makes a small incision to insert the probe.
In addition to numbing, we also offer ProNox during the treatment, so you can relax and feel comfortable.

How long until I see the results of Quantum?
