Yes, RF microneedling does tighten skin. Clinical evidence shows patient satisfaction rates exceeding 90% across 20 studies involving 558 participants, with objective 3D analysis confirming sustained tissue tightening for up to six months after treatment, and separate clinical trials reporting 35% to 40% improvement in skin tightening with 85% to 90% volunteer satisfaction rates.

That answer surprises people for one reason. Many expect skin tightening to happen right away or not at all. RF microneedling works differently. Some change starts early, but the more meaningful firming develops gradually as your skin rebuilds its internal support structure over the following months. That delayed timeline is exactly where most of the confusion comes from.

If you've been wondering whether RF microneedling is just another treatment that says it “boosts collagen,” the better way to think about it is this: it tightens skin through two separate actions happening on two different clocks. One creates early contraction. The other rebuilds firmness from within.

Are You an Ideal Candidate for RF Microneedling

The Direct Answer to Your Skin Tightening Question

Yes. RF microneedling can tighten skin, especially when laxity is mild to moderate.

The part that often gets oversimplified is how it does that, and when you should expect to see it. RF microneedling works in two phases. First, heat placed into the deeper skin creates an early tightening response in existing collagen. Then your skin starts a slower rebuilding process that develops over the following months. That timeline matters, because many patients expect a full result after the redness fades, when significant structural change is still underway.

A helpful way to frame it is this: collagen works like the skin's internal scaffolding, and elastin works more like the flexible bands that let skin snap back after movement. RF microneedling targets those support materials below the surface, which is why it can improve firmness in a way that standard surface treatments usually cannot.

What people usually mean by skin tightening

Patients usually are not asking for a laboratory definition of tighter skin. They want to know whether their face or neck will look firmer, less crepey, and better supported in the mirror.

That improvement may show up as:

A more defined jawline
Less crinkling or crepey texture
Skin that feels firmer to the touch
Softer-looking fine lines when looseness is part of the problem

The result is usually a gradual shift, not a sudden lift. Early on, some people notice a subtle “more compact” look. The more meaningful change tends to build between about 3 and 6 months as new collagen forms and remodels.

What RF microneedling can and can't do

RF microneedling is best for patients who want visible firming without surgery and who understand that improvement is measured in degrees, not dramatic repositioning. It can improve early sagging and skin quality at the same time, which is why it often appeals to people who feel they are somewhere between topical skincare and a surgical procedure.

Heavier jowling, significant loose neck skin, or substantial skin excess usually need a different level of treatment. In those cases, RF microneedling may still improve texture and firmness, but it will not create the same degree of lift as surgery.

A simple rule helps here. The less extra skin there is, the more RF microneedling tends to read as tightening. The more excess tissue there is, the more it functions as a firmness and texture treatment.

Patience is part of the process. If your skin does not look dramatically tighter right away, that does not mean the treatment failed. It usually means your collagen remodeling timeline is proceeding exactly as expected.

How RF Microneedling Rebuilds Your Skin's Foundation

RF microneedling tightens skin because it works on the support layer, not just the surface.

Your skin relies on two main structural proteins. Collagen works like the frame of a mattress. It gives skin firmness and shape. Elastin works like the springs. It helps skin snap back after movement, facial expression, and daily wear. As collagen thins and elastin loses strength, skin starts to look less supported.

RF microneedling is designed to address that deeper support system.

A diagram explaining how RF microneedling uses heat and micro-injuries to stimulate collagen for firmer skin.

Two things happen, and they happen on different timelines

This is the part that confuses many patients. RF microneedling has an early tightening effect and a later rebuilding effect.

During treatment, tiny needles create controlled microchannels while radiofrequency energy delivers heat into the dermis. That heat causes a measured injury in the collagen-rich layer of skin. Existing collagen fibers contract in response, which is why some patients notice an earlier sense of firmness or a slightly more compact look.

Then the slower phase begins.

Your body treats those micro-injuries and heat zones as a repair signal. Fibroblasts, the cells that build structural proteins, get to work laying down new collagen and supporting tissue over time. That gradual remodeling matters more than the first-week appearance because it is what improves the skin's internal support network.

Why heat changes the result

Traditional microneedling can stimulate repair through mechanical injury alone. RF microneedling adds controlled heat at depth, which gives the treatment a second way to influence laxity. You are not only creating tiny channels. You are also delivering thermal energy where collagen remodeling happens.

That combination is why RF microneedling is often chosen for patients whose main concern is firmness rather than surface texture alone.

At Athena Med Spa, one device used for this category of treatment is EndyMed Intensif, which combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to target deeper skin layers. If you are also wondering about treatment planning, this guide on how many treatments of radio frequency skin tightening you may need helps explain why results build over a series.

What the remodeling timeline usually feels like

The process is easier to understand if you picture your skin like a house under repair. One crew tightens a few loose screws right away. Another crew comes in later to reinforce the beams. Both matter, but the stronger structure takes longer.

A realistic timeline often looks like this:

Days to 2 weeks. Early swelling settles. Skin may look fresher, and some people notice mild firmness.
Weeks to 12 weeks. Collagen production and tissue remodeling continue under the surface.
Around 3 to 6 months. The rebuilt support network becomes easier to see as firmer, smoother-looking skin.

This delayed improvement is normal. It does not mean the treatment is “doing nothing” in the first month. It means the most meaningful change depends on your skin building new support material, and biology takes time.

The Clinical Evidence and Real-World Results

Clinical results make more sense when you separate two questions. First, does RF microneedling create measurable tightening? Second, do patients notice enough change for it to feel worthwhile in daily life? Published studies suggest the answer to both is yes, especially for mild to moderate laxity.

The strongest real-world pattern is not instant transformation. It is gradual contour improvement that becomes easier to appreciate over several months. That timing often confuses patients, because the skin can look fairly normal again long before the rebuilding process underneath is finished.

What studies tend to show

Across the published literature, the areas that respond most consistently are the:

Lower face
Jawline
Neck

Those treatment zones make sense anatomically. They are often the first places where the skin's support network starts to behave like a stretched elastic waistband. It still works, but it does not snap back the way it used to. RF microneedling aims to improve that support network rather than camouflage it.

Researchers have also used objective tools such as 3D imaging and angle measurements to track contour change. That kind of analysis is more useful than photos alone, because lighting, makeup, camera position, and facial expression can all change how “tight” someone appears. Objective measurements look for shape change, not just a flattering picture.

Why satisfaction stays high

Patient satisfaction tends to be strongest when expectations match biology. RF microneedling can improve firmness, soften crepey texture, and sharpen areas like the jawline, but the result usually builds in stages rather than appearing all at once.

A helpful way to frame it is to think about a mattress. If the springs are weak, adding a fresh sheet does not fix the support underneath. RF microneedling is trying to improve the spring system. That takes time. Early contraction can give a subtle sense of firmness, while later collagen remodeling creates the more meaningful change patients usually care about.

Safety findings in the literature are also reassuring. Reported side effects are usually temporary redness, swelling, and a short recovery period, which fits with how the treatment works. Heat and controlled micro-injury trigger repair, so some short-lived inflammation is expected.

If you are trying to estimate what kind of series may be needed for visible change, this guide on how many treatments of radio frequency skin tightening may be recommended can help set expectations.

Results are not limited to the face

The same remodeling principles apply to other areas that show thinning, creasing, and laxity, including the neck and chest. Published research on the décolletage has reported improvement in skin laxity and wrinkles, along with high patient satisfaction, which supports what many practices see in everyday treatment plans.

That broader usefulness is one reason RF microneedling remains popular. Skin on the lower face, neck, and chest often ages through the same basic process. Collagen behaves like the skin's scaffold, and elastin works more like the recoil in a stretched sweater. When both weaken, the skin looks looser. Treatments that target that deeper support layer can improve more than one area, but the visible payoff still tends to arrive on the body's schedule, not ours.

RF Microneedling vs Other Skin Tightening Treatments

The best comparison is not “which treatment is strongest?” It is “which treatment matches the layer of aging you want to treat?”

A comparison chart showing differences between RF microneedling, traditional microneedling, and dermal fillers for skin tightening.

RF microneedling occupies a very specific lane. It targets skin quality and mild to moderate laxity by treating below the surface while also improving texture. That makes it a different tool from standard microneedling, fillers, energy-based tightening that does not use needles, and surgery.

Compared with traditional microneedling

Traditional microneedling creates controlled channels in the skin and relies on wound healing to improve texture, tone, and superficial scarring. RF microneedling adds heat at depth. That extra thermal effect matters because tightening depends on what happens in the deeper support layer, not just on the surface.

A simple way to picture the difference is this. Standard microneedling aerates the soil. RF microneedling aerates the soil and warms the roots. Both can improve the skin, but the second approach is better suited to early looseness because it encourages a stronger remodeling response deeper in the dermis.

If your main concern is pores, mild acne scarring, or general refreshment, standard microneedling may be enough. If your concern is crepey skin or early sagging along with texture changes, RF microneedling usually fits better.

Compared with fillers

Fillers solve a different problem. They replace lost volume and reshape contours. They do not tighten the skin itself in the same gradual, remodeling-based way.

This is a common point of confusion in consultation. A hollow cheek can make the lower face look heavier, so adding support may help. Loose skin is different. Skin laxity happens when the collagen scaffold weakens and elastin loses some of its spring, more like a sweater that no longer snaps back the way it used to.

Treatment	Main role	What you notice first
RF microneedling	Improves firmness and texture over time	Gradual tightening and smoothing
Traditional microneedling	Improves texture and surface quality	Fresher texture over time
Fillers	Restore volume and contour	Immediate shape change

Patients sometimes need both, but for different reasons. One improves the “stuffing.” The other improves the “fabric.”

Compared with other energy-based skin tightening treatments

Some non-surgical tightening treatments deliver energy from above the skin without needles. RF microneedling places that energy directly into the tissue depth where remodeling is most useful, while also creating microscopic channels that support textural improvement. That combination is why it often appeals to patients who want firmer skin and smoother skin at the same time.

The tradeoff is timing. Device-based tightening rarely behaves like filler, where shape changes can be seen right away. RF microneedling often gives an early sense of firmness from tissue contraction, but the larger improvement usually develops gradually over the following months as new collagen forms and reorganizes. If you are comparing technologies, this overview of radiofrequency skin tightening treatments can help clarify the differences in approach.

Compared with a facelift

A facelift works on a different level. It repositions descended tissue and removes excess skin. RF microneedling cannot duplicate that result because it does not lift deeper structures or remove looseness physically.

What it can do is improve the quality of the skin you already have. For someone with early laxity, fine wrinkling, or crepey texture, that can be very worthwhile. For someone with heavier jowling or a clear excess of skin, surgery is usually the more direct option.

RF microneedling is often best understood as a remodeling treatment, not a replacement for surgery. It is most satisfying when expectations match the mechanism. You may notice some early tightening, but the more meaningful change usually arrives later, after collagen and elastin have had time to rebuild.

Your EndyMed Intensif Journey at Athena Med Spa

RF microneedling feels less intimidating once you know what the treatment is doing and when changes usually show up. The process is fairly straightforward. The results are gradual for a reason.

Screenshot from https://athenaplasticsurgery.com/non-surgical/endymed-intensif/

It starts with a consultation and skin analysis

In Stuart or West Palm Beach, the visit usually begins with a close look at what is creating the concern. Loose-looking skin can come from different causes. Sometimes the issue is mild laxity. Sometimes it is texture change, volume loss, sun damage, or tissue descent that would respond better to a different approach.

That distinction matters because EndyMed Intensif improves skin quality by remodeling the dermis. It does not replace lost volume or reposition heavy tissue. During consultation, your provider helps sort out which of those problems you are seeing in the mirror.

Athena Plastic Surgery also uses VECTRA H2 3D imaging as part of its broader consultation process, which can make facial contours and aging patterns easier to understand. If you want to see how this treatment fits into a larger non-surgical plan, the practice page on EndyMed Intensif micro-needling gives that context.

During the procedure

The appointment itself is usually easier than patients expect. Your skin is cleansed, a topical numbing cream is applied, and the handpiece is passed over the treatment area in a controlled pattern. Patients commonly describe the sensation as pressure, warmth, and brief pinpricks.

What matters most is the two-part response happening under the surface. The radiofrequency energy creates heat in the deeper skin while the needles deliver that energy where remodeling is needed. Part of the collagen framework contracts early, which is why some people notice a modest sense of firmness soon after treatment. The larger change takes longer because your skin then has to build and reorganize new collagen and elastin, the support fibers that give skin structure and spring. Collagen works like the framework of a mattress. Elastin acts more like the stretch in the fabric that helps it bounce back.

After the appointment

Right after treatment, it is common to look pink or mildly swollen, similar to a wind-flushed or sun-exposed look. That surface reaction settles first. The deeper repair process continues internally for weeks to months.

This timing is where confusion often happens. Patients sometimes expect the final result to appear as soon as the redness fades. RF microneedling does not work that way. Early tightening can show up first from heat-related contraction, but the more meaningful improvement usually develops gradually over the next few months as fresh collagen forms and matures.

A typical treatment course often includes a series spaced about a month apart, depending on your skin goals and starting point. Many patients notice earlier improvement in texture before they notice real firmness. The tightening phase usually becomes easier to appreciate closer to the 3 to 6 month window, which is why judging your outcome too early can be misleading.

The best way to read your result is in stages: early healing, then early firmness, then slower structural rebuilding.

Are You an Ideal Candidate for RF Microneedling

Good candidates usually have skin that is starting to loosen, thin, or lose some bounce, but still has enough built-in support to respond to remodeling. In practical terms, that often means early to moderate laxity rather than heavy excess skin.

RF microneedling is often a strong fit for adults who notice that their skin quality has changed in several ways at once. The skin may feel less springy, pores may look more visible, fine lines may linger longer, and mild acne scarring or rough texture may stand out more than it used to. That combination matters because the treatment works on the skin's support layer, where collagen acts like the internal framework and elastin helps the skin stretch and rebound.

Signs you may be a good fit

You may be a good candidate if you have:

Mild to moderate skin laxity on the cheeks, jawline, neck, or chest
Fine lines and early wrinkles that come with thinning or less resilient skin
Texture concerns such as roughness, enlarged pores, or mild acne scarring
A preference for non-surgical treatment with limited downtime and gradual improvement

It can also be useful outside the face, including areas like the chest where sun damage and creasing often show up early.

When it may not be the right answer

The treatment has limits. If you have significant sagging, heavier jowls, or a neck with a lot of extra skin, RF microneedling can still improve surface quality and some firmness, but it usually will not create the degree of lift that surgery can provide.

Skin condition matters too. Active infection, open irritation, certain inflammatory flare-ups, or anything that may interfere with healing should be addressed before treatment. A personalized evaluation is the safest way to decide whether your skin is ready.

The mindset that leads to the happiest results

The patients who tend to feel happiest with RF microneedling understand the timing. They are looking for firmer, healthier-looking skin over time, not a same-week transformation.

That expectation matters because the result comes in phases. Some people notice a subtle early firmness, but the more meaningful change appears later as collagen and elastin rebuild over the following months. If your goal matches that slower remodeling process, you are much more likely to feel that the treatment was worth it.

A consultation helps match the treatment to the problem. If your concern is gradual skin laxity and texture change, EndyMed Intensif may make sense. If the issue is more about tissue descent or excess skin, another non-surgical option or a surgical approach with Dr. Avron Lipschitz and the team may be more appropriate.

If you'd like a personalized assessment of skin laxity, texture, and whether EndyMed Intensif makes sense for your goals, schedule a consultation with Athena Plastic Surgery. A personalized evaluation can help you decide whether RF microneedling is the right next step for firmer-looking skin in Stuart or West Palm Beach.

I had such a wonderful experience getting lip filler! Dr. Lipschitz took the time to explain everything thoroughly and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. He was incredibly kind, patient, and really listened to what I wanted. I was hoping for a natural-looking result, and my lips turned out exactly how I envisioned them, beautiful and subtle without looking overdone. I’m so happy with my results and would absolutely recommend him!

Mark Hirst

This facility must clearly be rated as one of the top rated plastic surgery centers in Florida. Doctor Lipschitz is world renown and accomplished with a history from Cape Town to the Palm Beaches. The amazing facility in Port St Lucie can accommodate most procedures in house in a state of the art surgery OR that I have personally experienced with excellent results and all in-house. Aesthetics are comparable to the best high end spas and medical receptions anywhere in the world. I have always been extremely happy with the friendly services and fair pricing received over the years. Thank you Doctor Avy !!

Cornelis Pameijer

I had a few skin lesions removed of which one required a free skin graft on my forehead. The end result is very nice. Staff and doctor were professional and very pleasant and accommodating. I do recommend without reservations.

Barbra Pineiro

Dr. Lipschitz is a wonderful surgeon. He is not only kind and easy to speak with, but his skills are impeccable. I have been seeing him for years, ever since he quickly corrected a problem area on my face which a host of doctors said could not be corrected. His skills are unmatched!

Susan Novak

Dr. Lipshitz makes you really feel comfortable. You know that he and his office are concerned for your well being. My procedure went as I expected. Everything was explained before hand. Dr. Avron is the best.

Ali Navarro-Jalice

From my very first consultation to every follow-up appointment, my experience with Dr. L (Avron) and his patient coordinator, Terri, has been nothing short of exceptional. Tatiana, his nursing assistant, is also truly amazing. Terri was kind, patient, responsive, and made me feel supported every step of the way. She was the primary factor that promulgated my consideration of Dr. L. Plastic surgery can be overwhelming, but Terri always took the time to answer my questions, ease my concerns, and made me feel like I was her top priority. She is an incredible asset to the practice. This was my fourth plastic surgery procedure, and all of my previous surgeries were performed by well-known surgeons in Miami. I can honestly say that none of them compare to Dr. L. He is just the best in every way and words can’t adequately describe my satiation with his artistry and his medical expertise. Dr. L is, without question, the best plastic surgeon I have ever had. His skills are extraordinary, but what truly sets him apart is who he is as a person. He is humble, compassionate, honest, and genuinely cares about his patients. He never made me feel rushed, took the time to explain everything thoroughly, and his attention to detail is remarkable. Not only is he an incredibly talented surgeon, but he also has a bedside manner that is rare to find. He made me feel safe, confident, and completely cared for throughout the entire process. My results have exceeded my expectations, and even during recovery, I knew I had made the right choice. If you’re considering plastic surgery, I cannot recommend Dr. L and his team highly enough. After four procedures with different surgeons, I can confidently say that I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Dr. L is simply the best, and Terri and Tatiani makes the entire experience even more exceptional. Thank you all for your kindness, professionalism, and for changing my life. I am beyond grateful.

Robert Mergupis

Made my wife feeling very comfortable again, thank you Doc!

Robert Kunkle

Always 100% professional. Would not go elsewhere.

Anita Russo

I had a few facial procedures done approximately 3 months ago and am very satisfied. I wanted a natural, refreshed look which is exactly what I received. Terri, the surgery coordinator, was kind and an extremely warm person. No amount of questions were too many. She helped make the process seamless.She always got back to me in a timely manner. Dr. L is a warm, caring surgeon. From start to finish and after surgery, he was always available, even providing his cellphone for any questions or concerns. He is a perfectionist which I truly appreciate. I stayed overnight in the surgery suite with a nurse which was most convenient as I was there for next morning appointment to have drains removed, etc. A nice touch was a delicious smoothie early evening and breakfast the next morning. After the surgery, I had lymphatic massages for a few weeks with Meredith, which really helped the healing process. She too, was a sweetheart. I would highly recommend this practice which I believe was a 10 out of 10!

Chantal C

I’m not one to always leave reviews but I felt compelled in this particular instance. As someone who works in the healthcare field, I came in particular, detail-oriented, and with a very long list of questions. Dr. Lipschitz never made me feel like a burden for it. He took his time at every visit, answered everything thoroughly, and he and Terri stayed responsive and available from consult all the way through recovery. His knowledge and skill are evident — and I genuinely believe his expertise has made my recovery smoother than I expected. So far I am very happy with my results. Dr. Schwartz was wonderful as well. The entire staff — Olivia, Meredith, and everyone in between — played a big part in making this a positive experience. Every interaction felt warm, professional, and reassuring. The whole experience exceeded my expectations and I'm grateful to this entire team. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

I feel very blessed to have found Dr. Lipschitz after researching doctors that do reconstructive surgery after having a stoma and coloscopy. His team is very supportive and professional. He has an extensive knowledge of the human body and is always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have. I highly recommend him for any type of plastic surgery or reconstructive procedures. In a world where doctors are so busy he proves to be accessible, accommodating and supportive of his patients.

Alice O'Shea

Athena Plastic Surgery and Dr. Avron Lipschitz were recommended by several of my personal doctors. I am so happy I took professional advice for whom to use for my face lift and arm surgery. I had a face lift on Jan 20, 2026, and my arms done on Feb26,2026. Both surgeries were done perfectly. I had no complications and the results are amazing. My son says I look 30 years younger. The amazing thing is those who did not know me before surgery can not tell I had a face lift. They compliment me on how youthful I look, or my makeup, but no one believes I am 70, or can tell I had a facelift. The sign of a perfect face lift is others can not tell you had one. My mouth does not stretch clear across my face or my skin is not pulled or puckered. But my frown lines that made me look like I had a hinged puppet mouth are completely gone. My neck looks like it did when I was on my 20s. Dr. Lipschitz and his entire staff are so caring and provide the most wonderful services and bedside manner. I am so glad I decided to follow my doctors recommendations and went with the very best. If you would like to talk to a person who had surgery. Have Terri give me your number and name and you can talk to a real patient.

Azucena Calderon

had a great experience at Athena Plastic Surgery. The doctor was very professional, honest, and took the time to explain everything clearly. I really appreciated that they showed me the product before the treatment, which made me feel confident and safe. The staff was kind, and the whole process felt clean and well organized. I’m very happy with my visit and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for quality and transparency.

Gail St Jacques

I’m not even sure where to begin. Dr Lipshitz did a deep planing + facelift on me. To say he is an artist and perfectionist is just the beginning. He is compassionate, calming, and reassuring from consultation through where I am in recovery (which is 6 days out).. He and his entire team treat you like family,. I googled and reviewed more surgeons that I can say and my decision to go with Athena Plastic Surgery was the right choice. I would also like to give a special shout out to Terri, the patient liaison. She is more than my go to girl, she has become a friend. She explains and communicates every minutia detail. She and the Dr both gave me their private numbers and said to text or call any time 24/7. Please if you are looking for someone who is leading edge on all procedures at least talk to them, they will not disappoint.

JP Greco

I have been a patient of of athenoplastic surgery and Dr. Avi lipshitz for 9 years. Over the last 9 years he has basically changed my whole life. Always very professional. And caring complete makeover but didn't change the way I looked. Just kept me looking the same youthful self

Drenda Carter

The visit was smooth and easy the ladies were very kind and attentive to my mothers needs

Trina

I’ve had 3 different surgeries recently, and the level of care, and also what Avron did is just amazing. He is very clear on what he is doing, and aftercare is AMAZING. I recently also started some Botox treatments and Meredith is fantastic. All the staff is great and friendly. I HIGHLY recommend Athena for your cosmetic needs!!!!!

Alan Lulay

Excellent highly recommend.

GOOD OLD DAZE

Gotta say Dr. Lipschtiz is the man… your in good hands… he works miracles and I’m happy with my nose… I had a dog bite scar that split my nose and for many years had to walk around like Frankenstein… it wasn’t a cool scar… After surgery I felt like I finally got rid of the monster… it was a big relief… I am eternally grateful and will sing him praises and give this man his flowers for life… so that’s my 2 cents if your on the fence… its well worth it!!!!

martha smith

I am a 76-year-old woman who never had any surgeries before but wanted a full-face lift in my final years on this planet. I interviewed several plastic surgeons and the only one I felt 110% safe and confident with was Dr Lipschitz. He explained ALL to me from the beginning to the end of the procedure. He was there 24/7 after the surgery and beyond. If I needed anything or had any issues he was there. I felt safe and confident that I would be just fine and I was. He helped me calm down and heal in a caring manner. He never complained or felt I was a bother to him. I am so pleased with my results, and I promise you that you will not be disappointed with this dr or his caring staff. This dr is a true masterpiece with his hands and skills to make me look young again at my age. If you don't use this dr you will regret it.

Angela Garrido

In being a first timer on January 7, 2026 with Athena Plastic Surgery. My orthopedic Dr as well as my surgeon. He recommended Dr. Lipschitz for help with a non healing incision that was touched by a therapist to soon after surgery. Dr. Lipschitz, is a caring, passionate, and knowledgeable in his field. Today, February 11, the incision is much better than my actual first visit. I am so grateful for his expertise in getting me back on a healing track. Athena has a great staff Brandi, Rachel, Olivia, front desk personnel (don’t want to butcher the spelling of her name - lol) were the main ones I dealt with. I had no bas experiences during my time. I didn’t get a couple of returned calls; however it was not that serious to penalize them. I definitely recommend Athena for beauty enhancements with Dr. Lipschitz. Thank you so much for your service. 100000/10

Kim Bezer

I have gone to Meredith for Botox about 3 times. She does an excellent job of pinpointing exactly where I need it and….she is fun!! Sometimes it can be a little intimidating getting self improvement services done but Meredith was so kind and natural. If you are thinking about Botox I highly recommend going to Meredith. And make sure to book a morning appt. She will get your day started with a laugh and a positive outlook! Thank you, Meredith.😀

I cannot say enough good things about Athena Plastic Surgery and Doctor Lipschitz, as well as his team. If you go here for anything, you will be in good hands. I can’t believe we have one of the very best plastic surgeons in the whole world, right here in Stuart, Florida.

I am so pleased with my experience with Dr. Lipschitz and his team! I’m a teacher and new to the area. One of my child’s parents referred him to me. It wasn’t necessarily an easy case. I had been in a good deal of pain and felt very self conscious. I was so pleased, he listened to me, discussed my options and I was on the books! I felt like I was in good hands and I was! I had gone to other surgeons who ran through a countlessly given speech…I was just another patient. I am very happy with Dr. Lipschitz’s work and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

I went to Dr. Lipschitz years ago for fillers and I really appreciated that he educated me on both short-and-long-term results. This is why I chose him to do some more maintenance work recently, and once again, he acted with integrity. It was a big decision for me and he and his staff answered my questions candidly and treated me with professionalism and care. The best part is the significant improvement his artistry has made on my appearance, confidence and life overall. Dr. Lipschitz is one of the top plastic surgeons in the country, you can read up on his degrees, honors and extensive training (indcluding a fellowship at Johns Hopkins). I couldn't imagine going anywhere else and I couldn't be happier with my results.
