Laser Skin Tightening

 
 
Laser Skin Tightening can provide dramatic facial and body skin tightening results without surgery.

Our goal is to improve the quality and tone of facial skin without (or with as little as possible) downtime. The skin care treatment of every client is individualized, as the needs of no two faces are exactly alike. Our doctors can determine which services are right for you.

Q: What is Laser Skin Tightening?

A: Laser Skin Tightening is a series of laser treatments, using the Cool Touch laser, designed to stimulate dermal collagen production and regeneration of damaged skin cells. The single-wavelength light energy produced by the laser targets fibroblasts in the dermis, which produce new collagen in response to laser energy. Increased turnover of skin cells is also stimulated, helping to regenerate and replace damaged cells.

Q: Will I have to take time from work or my children to recover?


A: No. There is no downtime or external injury to the skin. A person can return to work or reapply makeup immediately following the procedure. The full face and neck can be treated in just one hour.

Q: How long will the results last?


A: The new dermal collagen that is produced becomes part of the structure of the treated skin, and thus Laser Skin Tightening can produce improvements in skin which lasts for years. Cool Touch skin tightening is so powerful that new collagen production can continue several weeks after the treatment. Most people report improvement immediately, with even more dramatic results weeks later. New collagen growth results in continued skin tightening and the development of a more youthful complexion with fewer lines, folds, and looseness of the skin. Continued exposure to the damaging ultraviolet rays of the sun will result in breakdown of both existing and new collagen over time, so it is very important to protect your results by limiting sun exposure, using a high-SPF sunblock, and maintaining a healthy and scientifically sound skin care regimen.






Q: Is Laser Skin Tightening effective for both the face and body?


A: Yes. LST can be used to treat any part of the body that may benefit from softer, smoother skin quality, wrinkle reduction, improvement of pore size and texture, or elimination of acne scars. The Cool Touch laser can provide beautiful firm skin on the face, neck, chest, upper arms, legs and other body areas with no downtime.



Q: How many treatments would I have to have?

A: Clinical studies suggest that 4-6 treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart in most cases will produce a significant increase in dermal collagen, remodeling of dermal matrix components, and a resulting improvement in overall skin tone and vitality.

Q: How do I prepare for a laser skin tightening treatment?

A: Clients scheduled for laser skin tightening treatment should make certain the skin is thoroughly cleansed and dried, removing any cosmetics, oils, creams or self-tanning lotions before treatment. Comfortable, loose fitting clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area should be worn. Prior to laser treatment please avoid the following:
  • direct sun exposure or sun tanning booths for two or more weeks prior to treatment
  • use of oral acne medications such as acutane or similar for at least six months prior to laser treatment
  • use of topical acne medications such as retinol, retin-A or similar for 7 days prior to laser treatment
