What is Laser Skin Tightening?

Laser Skin Tightening treats lax skin and is the first non-surgical light-based system approved by the FDA for dermal heating. Using light energy to heat the dermis deep beneath your skin’s surface, Laser Skin Tightening provides an all-natural option to enhance skin tone without surgery, recovery time or injections. Laser Skin Tightening is an ideal solution for tightening loose skin on your face, arms and abdomen.

Laser Skin Tightening FAQs

How does the Laser Skin Tightening treatment work?
Laser Skin Tightening safely heats the dermis, which results in new collagen production and subsequent SKIN TIGHTENING. During the procedure, the skin’s top surface (epidermis) is protected through a continuous cooling spray. Laser Skin Tightening’s light-based platform provides a more uniform distribution of energy for heating the deep dermis than other energy sources, such as RF (radiofrequency). This technique has proven more effective than Thermage.

What do Laser Skin Tightening treatments feel like?
With each Laser Skin Tightening pulse you will feel a brief heating sensation. Some patients are more comfortable taking a mild pain reliever beforehand. Many patients are comfortable without any medication during their Laser Skin Tightening treatment. Your practitioner will advise you further. Immediately following Laser Skin Tightening treatment, you may notice some redness and mild swelling in the treated area. Both should dissipate within a few hours.

What areas respond best to Laser Skin Tightening?
Patients have been successfully treated with Laser Skin Tightening on many areas of the body. The most common areas treated are the jaw line, under the chin, abdomen, elbows, knees, legs, neck, and breasts/chest.

Who can be treated with Laser Skin Tightening?
Since the Laser Skin Tightening procedure heats tissue under the skin’s surface, patients of any skin type or age can be treated.

How many Laser Skin Tightening treatments will I need?

What kind of results can I expect with Laser Skin Tightening?

Is Laser Skin Tightening safe?
Laser Skin Tightening can be used to safely treat all skin types for women and men ages 18 and up. Since the upper layer of the skin is protected by continuous contact cooling, anesthesia is not required and there is no downtime—patients can return to work immediately after treatment. Laser Skin Tightening has no reported negative side effects.
