Laser Skin Tightening To Improve Fine Lines & Sagging Skin

Laser Skin Tightening

Laser skin tightening is a minimally invasive procedure that can firm the face and body to improve wrinkles, fine lines, and loose skin. Skin tightening is ideal for improving skin structure and firmness to restore youthful-looking texture to the face, neck, arms, lower back, abdomen, legs, or thighs. This procedure incorporates innovative laser technology to encourage the production of subsurface collagen fibers and coagulate tissues to achieve a firming effect. Laser skin tightening can be completed with minimal incisions and little recovery time, making it an excellent option for patients looking to firm localized areas of the face or body for subtle enhancements to your overall profile.

Your Laser Skin Tightening Procedure

Laser skin firming is usually an in-office procedure, but can also be performed at an outpatient surgical facility, if necessary. Your surgeon will position the laser over the targeted area and guide laser heat energy to underlying skin layers. A laser apparatus may be placed above the skin to deliver heat or a small incision may be made to introduce a laser probe under the skin to transmit laser energy; this will be dependent on the specific laser being utilized. Heat from the laser causes a contraction of existing collagen fibers and subsurface tissues. Additionally, laser energy results in the gradual formation of new collagen beneath the skin, which can enhance skin structure and firmness.

Laser skin tightening may be combined with laser fat removal to further define contours, as well as laser acne treatment or laser vein treatment for a clearer, younger-looking complexion.

What To Expect After Undergoing Laser Skin Tightening

Since laser skin firming is minimally invasive, patients experience little downtime post-procedure. Mild redness may be present immediately following treatment and should subside within a few days. You can resume your day-to-day activities upon completing your laser skin tightening treatment. Aftercare timetables and guidelines can be explained in more detail during your skin tightening consultation.

Laser skin firming is designed to achieve natural-looking skin tightening results by addressing the underlying causes of skin laxity. By encouraging the production of new collagen fibers under the skin, laser skin firming can achieve long-lasting tightening results. Multiple treatments may be needed to achieve maximum skin tightening benefits.
