Laser Skin Tightening

Laser skin tightening is a noninvasive procedure designed to reverse signs of aging on the skin. It can be used on all areas of the face and body, but is typically used on the face and neck. The treatment works by heating the underlying layers of skin to stimulate collagen production, which causes the skin to look fuller and tighter. Wrinkles, fine lines, lax skin, and other signs of aging are minimized, resulting in healthier, more youthful-looking skin.

Laser Skin Tightening Procedure

Laser skin tightening is an in-office procedure usually performed by a dermatologist. The session begins with the application of anesthetic cream to minimize discomfort. Protective eyewear is provided for safety.

During treatment, a handpiece emitting cool air is used to deliver short pulses of laser energy to the skin. The heat stimulates collagen production, which contracts and tightens the skin.

Sessions typically last between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on the treatment area size. For optimal results, 2 to 3 sessions spaced about a month apart are recommended. Many patients notice immediate improvement, with continued enhancement over several months as collagen production increases. Results can last up to 2 years in some cases.
