What to Expect: Consultation, Procedure & Aftercare
Frequently Asked Questions
What is skin tightening and how does it work?
Skin tightening refers to non‑surgical procedures that stimulate collagen production to firm and lift lax skin. Technologies like lasers, radio‑frequency, ultrasound and dissolvable threads deliver controlled energy or mechanical support to the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing response to rebuild collagen and elastin.
What skin tightening treatments are available at Albany?
We offer deep fractional laser treatments (Fraxel Dual, Fotona 3D/4D), skin resurfacing with laser peels, focused ultrasound (Ulthera), RF microneedling (Infini), thread lifts, and injectable options like Botox and fillers. Each method addresses different levels of laxity, texture and volume to customise your results.
How soon will I see results?
Some tightening or improved texture may be visible immediately after treatment, particularly with thread lifts. For laser and microneedling procedures, noticeable improvement appears within days to weeks, with optimal results developing after several sessions as collagen rebuilds. Ulthera results gradually emerge over 2–6 months and can last up to 2 years.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies by treatment and your goals. GentleYAG laser skin tightening typically requires 4–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart for a significant increase in collagen. Fraxel laser plans often include 3–6 treatments, while Ulthera may require just one or two sessions. Thread lifts provide immediate lifting in a single appointment, although additional threads or fillers may be added later.
Is there downtime after skin tightening?
Most non‑surgical treatments involve little to no downtime. You can usually return to normal activities immediately, though Fraxel and deeper resurfacing may cause redness or peeling for a few days and thread lifts can result in bruising.
How to Prepare for skin tightening Edmonton?
Depending on the procedure, preparation may include avoiding sun exposure, stopping photosensitising medications and discontinuing retinoids or topical irritants a few days before treatment. Arrive with clean, makeup‑free skin. For thread lifts and Ulthera, you might be advised to avoid anti‑inflammatory medications before your appointment.
Who is a good candidate for skin tightening?
Ideal candidates are individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity, early wrinkles or sagging who wish to improve their appearance without surgery. Candidates should be in good health, have realistic expectations and be free of active infections or uncontrolled medical conditions. We assess candidacy during your consultation and may adjust the plan based on your skin type and goals.
Are results permanent?
Results last months to years depending on the treatment and your lifestyle. Collagen generated by lasers and microneedling becomes part of the skin’s structure, providing long‑term improvement. However, natural aging and sun exposure gradually degrade collagen. Ulthera results typically last around a year, while thread lifts maintain their effect for 1–3 years. Maintenance sessions help sustain your results.
What Can I Expect During My Skin tightening Treatment Session?
Sessions typically last 30–90 minutes. Laser and RF devices deliver controlled heat pulses across the treatment area; you may feel warmth or a prickling sensation. Ulthera uses a hand‑held transducer to send focused ultrasound into deeper tissues, causing a temporary tingling feeling. For thread lifts, dissolvable threads are inserted with small needles under local anesthesia. We monitor your comfort throughout and can apply numbing cream or administer oral pain relief if necessary.
What Should I Do Immediately After Skin tightening Edmonton?
Mild redness, swelling or tenderness is normal after treatment. Laser resurfacing may involve slight peeling or dryness, whereas thread lifts can cause bruising or puckering for a few days. Most clients return to normal activities immediately or within 24–48 hours. Protect treated areas from the sun, apply a gentle moisturizer and avoid strenuous exercise or extreme heat for at least 48 hours. We provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your chosen treatment.
What side effects can I expect?
Temporary side effects may include redness, swelling, bruising, mild discomfort, dryness or peeling. Thread lifts can cause puckering or tenderness. These effects usually resolve within a few days. Rare complications like infection or asymmetry are minimised by following post‑care instructions and choosing qualified providers.
How much does skin tightening cost?
Costs vary widely based on the modality, treatment area and number of sessions. Typical ranges include $900 per session for 3D skin lifts, $1,200 for 4D lifts, $900 for full‑face Fraxel treatments, $1,500 for Ulthera face or neck sessions, $600–$800 for Infini RF microneedling, and $300 per thread for thread lifts. Package discounts are available for multiple sessions or combined treatments.
