WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LASER SKIN TIGHTENING?
Skin tightening treatments have a variety of benefits that patients can enjoy. One of the best benefits is that they’re non-surgical, non-invasive procedures that encourages tighter skin with minimal discomfort and recovery time.
Another benefit of skin tightening procedures is their versatility. Any problem area can be treated on the face or the body. Areas that are commonly treated are the face, jawline, neck, chest, upper arms, and stomach, but the treatment is safe for almost all skin surfaces.
When compared to surgical procedures, laser skin tightening treatments are far less risky and cause less discomfort overall. The side effects of these procedures are typically minimal, usually consisting of redness and mild swelling or bruising. Scarring, hyperpigmentation, or infection can occur in rare cases.
Laser skin tightening procedures are convenient and quick, typically lasting 60 minutes or less. Most patients can resume their regular activities immediately after treatment. They’re able to treat skin laxity and a variety of other skin conditions.
Lastly, the aesthetic benefits of laser treatments for skin tightening can yield beautiful results. The heat from the laser causes collagen to constrict, effectively tightening loose or sagging, while stimulating neocollagenesis, a process that takes the body about 2-3 months to complete, therefore your results will take a while to appear. Neocollagenesis is the creation of new collagen on the inside, the length of time to see visible results on your face is determined by your natural aging process. This new collagen reduces signs of aging and brings patients a more youthful appearance. By stimulating the production of collagen and elastin in the skin, these procedures promote natural healing that makes for a healthy look.
HOW LONG DOES LASER SKIN TIGHTENING LAST?
Most patients will be able to see some results after one appointment, but the best results appear after 3 to 6 appointments. These sessions are typically spaced about a month apart. Using SPF is important to extend your results as well as protect your skin from aging due to sun damage. Occasional touch-up appointments may be necessary after the initial treatments, most patients do one to two sessions a year.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR LASER SKIN TIGHTENING TREATMENTS?
Laser skin tightening works on most skin tones and types. We find patients aged 30 to 65 years old typically see the best results. For those younger than 30, we recommend Smooth Prevention treatments. Laser skin tightening may not work as effectively for excessively sagging skin, but our older clients who do not wish to have invasive procedures have been satisfied when they combine the laser lifts with Smoothlase and peels.
