What exactly is laser skin tightening?

Even though it affects everyone differently, it’s inevitable that aging will happen to all of us – resulting in skin that takes on various forms of creasing, wrinkling, lines, folds, sagging, and looseness.

There is no way from stopping this stuff from taking place, but there are measures that we can take to slow down the process, and even fight back against it. An effective way to combat signs of aging is through laser skin tightening. It may sound intimidating and scary, but the process really isn’t that bad and there’s no reason to stress out about it. The device that is used to perform the laser skin tightening is designed to be very gentle and delivers fantastic results without affecting the surrounding skin.

The main goals are to make patients appear visibly younger with healthier looking skin and to also feel better about themselves on the inside. The face is a common place to receive this treatment, but other body parts are eligible as well, such as the chest and neck.

Benefits of laser skin tightening treatment

There are a few wonderful benefits that are enjoyed thanks to this kind of treatment, and perhaps one of the most significant ones is that there are no incisions that are needed, so the recovery time is reduced versus other options.

It’s a relatively cost-effective solution to fight the signs of aging compared to alternatives such as facelifts for example.

The process typically operates under the notion of getting a series of treatment sessions, and the number and frequency are determined by your skin’s current state and the desired results.

Some specific visual benefits include a rejuvenated complexion, improved skin elasticity and suppleness, smoothed out wrinkles, and reduced jowls.

Laser Skin Tightening FAQ’s

What are the benefits?

Laser skin tightening offers many benefits. After a series of sessions, you will experience:

Smoothing out wrinkles
Improving skin elasticity
Enhancing skin flexibility
Rejuvenating appearance
Minimizing the signs of aging

How is this procedure executed?

The skin is cleansed thoroughly, and safety goggles are used to protect the eyes from the laser. The laser works by stimulating the tissues to promote circulation and to activate the skin’s own restorative functions. It stimulates deeper tissues to encourage collagen regeneration and diminishes wrinkles through a skin resurfacing effect.

What can be expected post procedure?

After receiving laser skin tightening there may be some tingling or warmth in the skin, and this is actually a good thing as it’s a signal that the treatment is working. Depending on skin sensitivity, these feelings should go away within a day or so.

What treatment schedule should I follow?

To gain optimal results, you should go through a treatment session every few weeks – the exact timeline depends on a few variables but gets loosely drawn up after the initial consultation. In between each session, your body creates new, fresh skin that is noticeably firmer. The process is gradual and may take a few sessions and a half year or so before big impacts can be enjoyed.

Are there any potential risks?

Laser burns, scarring, and hyperpigmentation are all possible risks that a patient needs to be aware of, and take into account. However, if the pre and post-treatment guidelines are followed, these risks are dramatically reduced.
