The results of a skin tightening treatment will vary depending on the type of procedure, the health and age of the patient’s skin, and how it is administered. Generally speaking, patients can expect to see some improvement in their complexion with single treatments but may need multiple treatments for longer-lasting effects. Commonly reported improvements include smoother-looking skin, tighter pores, diminished wrinkles and fine lines, improved firmness and elasticity, and improved overall texture. Patients with more pronounced signs of aging may need to combine skin-tightening treatments with other therapies such as facial fillers or laser resurfacing in order to achieve their desired results. Additionally, many experts believe that maintaining regular skincare routines such as cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing and protecting the skin from further damage are key components to sustaining longer-term results from any type of skin tightening treatment.

What exactly is laser skin tightening?

Laser Skin Tightening is a series of laser treatments performed with the Candela GentleYAG laser to stimulate dermal collagen formation and the regeneration of damaged skin cells. The Gentle YAG’s single-wavelength light energy targets fibroblasts in the dermis, which create new collagen in reaction to laser energy. Skin cell turnover is also increased, which aids in the regeneration and replacement of damaged cells.
Because the new dermal collagen that is created becomes a part of the structure of the treated skin, Laser Skin Tightening can offer skin benefits that endure for years. GentleYAG skin tightening is so effective that fresh collagen creation might last for months following the procedure. The majority of patients report quick improvement, with even more spectacular outcomes weeks later. New collagen formation leads to sustained skin tightening and the creation of a more youthful complexion with fewer wrinkles, folds, and skin looseness. Continued sun exposure will result in the degradation of both existing and new collagen over time; therefore, it is critical to safeguard your results by minimizing sun exposure, using a high-SPF sunscreen, and following a healthy and scientifically sound skincare programme.
