Skin Tightening
Looked in your mirror lately and not liked the reflection? Laser skin tightening is the state of the art technology that can erase wrinkles and the visible, sagging effects of aging. Our lasers are FDA approved specifically for this process. Laser skin tightening is a minimally invasive, non-surgical process that uses an infrared light source (a laser) to tighten skin by heating the collagen under the skin’s surface, causing the skin to contract (tighten). Laser skin tightening has been proven effective for tightening the skin on all areas of the body. You can enjoy a rejuvenated look when this treatment is applied to your face, neck, abdomen, arms, legs, and buttocks. The results of your skin tightening become more noticeable as your body is stimulated to produce its new collagen. Even better there is no downtime, you can resume your normal activities right after treatment. Optimal results may require two or three treatments space about a month apart, while additional skin tightening occurs over the next few months.
Laser skin tightening is appropriate for men and women of all skin types and skin tones who wish to achieve dramatic results without painful surgery and lengthy recovery times. The most successful laser skin tightening candidates experience permanent results as the collagen under their skin is regenerated, producing a more youthful appearance.
- 1. Is laser skin tightening safe?
Laser skin tightening is a safe way to rejuvenate the appearance of skin in any area of the body. Unlike other treatments, such as laser skin resurfacing, which promote the growth of new skin by removing superficial layers of the patient’s skin the patient’s existing skin, laser skin tightening does not burn or break the skin. Patients who undergo skin tightening experience very few side effects and these are most often minor inconveniences in the form of redness or minimal and temporary swelling. -
2. When will I see results?
Most patients notice changes in the tone and condition of their skin immediately following a skin tightening treatment. However, because the procedure is designed to stimulate the natural growth of collagen, optimal results may take up to a few months to be visible. Typically, new collagen growth takes from 90 to 180 days after the initial treatment, at which time you’ll enjoy a dramatically rejuvenated appearance. -
3. What does laser skin tightening treatment feel like?
During treatment, your laser practitioner will use a small hand piece to apply quick pulses of laser light to your skin. You may feel a gradual warming sensation at the treatment area, and could feel brief discomfort which is often described as similar to the sensation caused by a snapping rubber band on the skin. Most patients comment that the discomfort they feel during laser skin tightening is minimal, and it is usually resolved within minutes of the procedure’s completion. -
4. Are multiple treatments necessary?
While patients see noticeable decreases in skin laxity after their first laser skin tightening session, we may recommend additional treatments, depending on your desired results and the area(s) to be treated. Treatments are generally spaced three to four weeks apart. After the initial skin tightening treatments, some patients opt for yearly touch up sessions to target areas most prone to wrinkles and lines. -
