Subdermal Laser Skin Tightening
Overview
Laser skin tightening is a unique facial rejuvenation option that produces dramatic results. Not only does it reduce the appearance of wrinkles and loose skin, it makes the skin look smoother and more youthful.
What is laser skin tightening?
Laser skin tightening is a non-invasive procedure that consists of using a laser to heat collagen under the skin’s surface, which subsequently causes the skin to contract and tighten. The effects of laser skin tightening are noticeable immediately after treatment. Due to the rapid achievement of results and lack of downtime, laser skin tightening is a very popular procedure. Additional skin tightening occurs over the next few months following treatment, but typically, two or three treatments spaced about a month apart are required to achieve optimal results.
Due to the sheer number of cosmetic treatments available, patients often wonder how Laser skin tightening compares to other procedures. Laser skin tightening is more effective than chemical peels and microdermabrasion, yet less invasive than surgery. The procedure is virtually painless and the results are long lasting.
Am I a candidate for laser skin tightening?
The signs of aging become apparent for most people when the skin begins to sag around their face and neck. Men and women of all skin types and skin tones who want to achieve dramatic results without painful surgery and significant downtime can benefit from laser skin tightening. The most successful candidates can achieve permanent results because the collagen under their skin is regenerated, which results in a smoother, more youthful complexion.
How much does laser skin tightening cost?
Laser skin tightening enables patients to achieve the dramatic results of surgery without the hefty price tag. Furthermore, the results of laser skin tightening don’t fade after a few months.
The cost of laser skin tightening varies depending on the patient’s needs, the size and location of the treatment area, and the type of laser used. Laser skin resurfacing is far less expensive than invasive surgery, and financing options are available.
Laser Skin Tightening Systems
Laser skin tightening systems effectively rejuvenate all types of skin, making skin look firmer and more youthful. Popular skin tightening treatments utilize the Titan® or Polaris™ systems, which consist of laser technology that gently heats deeper layers of collagen while cooling the skin’s outer layers. Patients of laser skin tightening enjoy immediate results with a minimal level of discomfort.

Risks and Benefits
There is little risk associated with laser skin tightening, but some common side effects include temporary redness and the possibility of brief lightening or darkening of the skin in treated areas. There is also a slight chance of scarring.
The benefits of laser skin tightening include increased firmness, a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines, and no downtime. The skin tightening results are immediate and continue to improve for several weeks after the procedure.
Recovery and Results
Although laser skin tightening cannot remove excess skin, it offers many of the same results as plastic surgery, without the downtime. Patients will experience a tightening of loose skin, a reduction in wrinkles, and a firmer, healthier complexion. Laser skin tightening is a non-invasive procedure that involves no incisions and thus requires no recovery period after treatment.
