Laser Skin Tightening helps patients look and feel younger by stimulating collagen regeneration under the surface of the skin. Wrinkles and fine lines on the forehead, around the eyes and mouth, and on the neck and body, fade away as new collagen fills in the skin’s surface blemishes.
There are no incisions or injections and, since the laser system cools the upper layers of skin while heating collagen down below, patients experience minimal discomfort.
Patients generally notice immediate results following a laser skin tightening session, and further tightening is achieved over the next several months as new collagen grows. Depending on the areas being treated, most patients require more than one skin tightening treatment to achieve maximum results, but the effects are permanent. Unlike having a face-lift, laser skin tightening requires no recovery and does not stretch the skin – it causes the skin to tighten.
Laser Skin Tightening Risks
There are few risks associated with laser skin tightening. Because it does not involve any surgical incisions, skin tightening is a considerably safer method for achieving younger-looking skin than face lift procedures, and it is less costly as well. Some patients experience temporary Side Effects including warm or sensitive skin, a change in skin color, and localized bruising.
Most laser skin tightening systems are equipped with efficient cooling mechanisms to reduce the chance of patient discomfort.
Laser Skin Tightening Recovery and Results
Laser skin tightening offers many of the same results as plastic surgery, without the lengthy recovery time.
While the procedure cannot remove excess skin, patients experience tightening of loose skin immediately, with less wrinkles in the treated area and a firmer, healthier-looking complexion.
Laser skin tightening requires no recovery after treatment because it is a non-surgical procedure that involves no incisions.
