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.
