What is Laser Skin Tightening?

Laser skin tightening treatment is a unique facial skin rejuvenation treatment which helps to drastically improve the appearance of your skin by tightening loose skin. Loose skin and Wrinkles treatment can be done using laser skin tightening, making your skin smooth and thereby reducing signs of aging.

 

Using an infrared light source, the laser skin tightening treatment is a minimal invasive non-surgical process. It helps to tighten your skin by using heating under the collagen of the skin to tighten it. After the treatments, the results of tightened skin are immediately noticeable and it requires no down time at all. The skin tightening is a FDA approved treatment for reducing wrinkles, fine lines and also for treating sagging skin. One of the benefits of skin tightening treatment is that it can improve the overall appearance and quality of the skin in the safest way possible. Eye Protection is worn during the treatment and a cold air blower is used on the skin to improve patient safety and comfort.

 

The skin tightening treatment encourages the production of new collagen in the treated area. It also promotes the absorption of collagen by the skin from other areas as well. When the regeneration of collagen begins, the patients begin to notice smoother and improved skin texture.

Everyday our skin is exposed to harsh UV radiation and is undergoing sun damage. Our skin in its youth has a delicate balance between producing new collagen and losing collagen due to sun damage. As we grow older or expose ourselves excessively to sun, this balance is disturbed leading to reduction of the collagen cells which keep the skin tight and youthful. As we age, our skin's ability to replace these damaged collagen cells diminish. Early signs of ageing start to appear in the form of fine lines and wrinkles, eventually leading to loose skin.

 

There are different home remedies for ageing skin and home remedies for wrinkles, which can help smooth your skin. These home remedies are simple but take a while to yield desired results. A disadvantage of following home remedies for ageing skin and wrinkles is that unknowingly you have a skin allergy or reaction to some of the ingredients used. Some remedies don’t help you get rid of wrinkles permanently, while some take a long time to hide the lines on your face.

 

If you’re tired of waiting or want instant visible results, Kaya's Skin Tightening Service removes wrinkles and lines on your skin by restoring its collagen balance.

What to Expect During the Skin Tightening Procedure?

Before the beginning of the skin tightening procedure you will be expected to remove any substance that will be on the skin such as make-up, oil, creams etc. You will then be given a topical anesthetic cream to apply on the required area and a protective eyewear by the practitioner. Due its non-ablative nature of the treatment you will not require any more anesthetics. But if you have low tolerance for discomfort you can take an over the counter pain killer prior to the treatment.

 

During the treatment the practitioner will use a hand-piece to apply brief pulses of energy on to your skin. For optimal results, the practitioners may have to go over the sessions 3 – 4 times. The practitioner is required to go over the treatment area 3 times for optimal results. These sessions depend on the area to be treated and usually last for 30 minutes to an hour. After the treatment you don’t require downtime and can immediately return to your day to day activities. The side effects of this treatment are minimal such as mild swelling or redness of skin and usually resolve themselves in 24 hours

What Is The Difference Between Laser Skin Tightening And Laser Skin Surfacing?

• Laser skin tightening often results in lesser dramatic and immediate changes than laser skin surfacing .
• Laser Skin Tightening also poses far fewer risks, discomfort and downtime for patients.
• During the treatment, skin tightening causes the collagen to expand and the skin appear tighter.
• Laser skin surfacing removes the outer layers of the skin to enhance growth of new, healthier skin.
• However, as it peals away the outer layers of skin, there is a higher risk of scarring and changes in pigmentation.

Skin Tightening Treatment Benefits

Skin tightening effectively rejuvenates all skin types for firmer, more youthful looking skin. Laser rejuvenation can address many aspects of ageing skin including dullness, pigmentation, pore size, fine lines and laxity. Added benefits of skin tightening are reduced risks of side effects and the absence downtime following treatment.

Typically, new collagen growth takes from 90 to 180 days after the initial treatment, at which you enjoy a rejuvenated skin. Most skin tightening experts recommend up to 6 treatments, depending on the desired results and the area to be treated. Treatments are generally spaced roughly three weeks apart. After the initial series of skin tightening treatments, some you can opt for yearly "touch up" sessions to target areas most prone to wrinkles and lines.
