SKIN TIGHTENING

As we age and go through life changes such as pregnancy, weight gain and loss etc, the skin can lose elasticity and begin to sag and droop. The most effective way to treat this is to stimulate the skins own collagen and elastin, which over time will tighten the skin and provide a more youthful and lifted appearance.
We use several different treatments to achieve skin tightening, with our most popular being Radio Frequency and laser skin tightening (please see link here……………..for more info on Radio Frequency tightening).

How does Laser Skin tightening work?

Laser skin tightening works by heating up the skin tissues to 40 degrees using laser which causes a small amount of trauma to the tissues resulting in a cellular reaction that generates growth of new collagen and elastin. The building of collagen after each treatment will take around 90 days, so the process is a slow and steady improvement, rather than a quick fix.

How does Laser skin tightening feel?

The treatment is very comfortable and involves the laser is applied to the treatment area which introduces heat into the skin. Once the skin is at a temperature of 40 degrees, we keep it here for 2 minutes and then move onto the next section. This treatment feels warm and relaxing.

What is the downtime?

There is no downtime with laser, the skin can feel warm for several hours after treatment and may look pink. We recommend drinking lots of water and keeping the skin cool (avoiding hot showers and baths, heavy exercise etc) for 24 hours after treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

We usually recommend between 6-12 session at weekly intervals for best results. During your consultation, the practitioner will assess your skin and recommend a course of treatments to suit you.
