how does skin tightening work?
Our Candela Gentle Yag 1064nm laser uses the most advanced cooling system to cool the surface of the skin, thus allowing the use of higher energies to penetrate deeper into the skin for more impressive results. The heat from the Laser causes immediate tissue tightening and signals the body to start making new collagen. As the new collagen forms, skin will be tighter and firmer.
Skin Tightening FAQ'S
Texas Laser Clinic highly recommends, combining
photofacial, and skin tightening for a total skin rejuvenation package which
allows for the best results.
Who is a good candidate for skin tightening?
Anyone with mild to moderate skin laxity who is not yet ready for the expense or the down time of surgery is a good candidate.
What areas can be treated?
Skin tightening can be used anywhere on the body. Most people choose non-invasive skin tightening to:
How long does the procedure take?
The skin tightening procedure can take anywhere between 20-45 min , depending on the area treated. A topical anesthetic will be applied prior to the procedure for 30 min
What are the treatments like?
First the skin is cooled, then the laser is applied. Patients will feel a gradual heating of the treated area, then cooling is applied again. This protects the surface of the skin and also allows more effective penetration of the infrared light. It is one of our most comfortable procedures. Many patients actually find this treatment relaxing!
When will I see results?
With our revolutionary technology results will be seen in 2 phases. The initial phase consists of tightening of the collagen that is already present. This result is seen immediately! The second phase occurs more slowly as the body initiates a natural wound-healing response and creates new collagen which provides long term tightening. Tightening will continue to improve for four to six months after the last treatment, then will stabilize.
How many treatments are needed?
Many patients see some results after one treatment, however four to six treatments are generally recommended for best results. Treatments are generally recommended 3- 4 weeks apart.
When can I resume my normal activities?
There is absolutely no down time associated with this procedure! A few people may have mild redness but this usually subsides in a few hours. You can return to your normal activities immediately, although as always sunscreen should be used. You can apply makeup immediately after the procedure to hide the redness, if necessary.
