What is laser skin tightening?

During laser skin tightening, our specialized laser heats the collagen fibers deep within your skin at specific temperatures. This gentle yet focused heating will slowly rearrange, redistribute, and recreate the collagen structure within your skin. As new collagen forms, your skin will tighten and rejuvenate over time. Once your collagen has been stimulated by laser skin tightening treatments, it will continue to grow for months and even years to come with minimal maintenance required.

Is laser skin tightening treatment right for me?

Laser skin tightening treatment is the perfect treatment for adult men and women. If you’re committed to proper after care, this procedure is right for you. If you are sensitive to light or have an autoimmune disorder, be sure to speak with your doctor before receiving laser skin tightening treatment.

What can I expect the day I receive laser skin tightening treatment?

Laser skin tightening treatment is a safe, quick, and easy office procedure that takes 30-60 minutes depending on the areas being treated. A skin care specialist will glide the laser applicator over the area to be treated. As the applicator delivers laser energy in tiny bursts, you will feel a heated prickling sensation. Once treatment is complete, a nurse will apply a cool gel to the treated area. Most patients describe the feeling after treatment like a sunburn. This feeling can last anywhere from two hours to two days.

What will recovery be like after I receive laser skin tightening treatment?

You will be able to go back to work immediately following laser skin tightening treatment. Even though you are able to return to regular activities, it is important to follow the after care instructions given to you by your skin care specialist. Failure to do so may delay or diminish the results of laser skin tightening.

Do I need to follow a special skin care routine after receiving laser skin tightening treatment?

Your provider will give you detailed instructions about your specific skin care needs. You may receive a prescription for special creams or gels to maximum the results of your laser skin tightening treatment.

Be sure to use sunscreen daily to protect your skin from sun exposure during both the healing phase and for several months after treatment. Apply a moisturizing sunblock with an SPF of at least 30. For at least six months after treatment, avoid being in the sun as much as possible.

When will I see results from laser skin tightening treatment and how long does it last?

For most patients, the results are gradual over 2-6 months as new collagen is formed and the skin tightens. Although one treatment will attain significant improvement, it is suggested that three treatments be performed at six week intervals for maximum results. A touch up treatment may be needed once a year for continued results.
