Laser Skin Tightening Treatments Can Be Both Safe And Effective
Over the last several years, one focus of aesthetic medical technology has been on
a means for improving fine wrinkles and lines on the face without prolonged "downtime." This is often referred to as non-invasive collagen remodeling. This has traditionally been accomplished with laser peels (carbon dioxide, erbium) or deep chemical peels (phenol, high-concentration TCA), which resurface the skin by creating a second-degree burn. The epidermis is essentially burned through and the dermis is injured, stimulating new collagen production.
There are many problems that accompany these aggressive peels. Often times they can leave an open, weeping facial wound for several days, followed by scabbing. There can also be a great deal of itching and discomfort, a prolonged period of facial redness which would need to be concealed with make-up. The possibility of hypo or hyperpigmentation is also increased. The risk of scarring is also increased if the level of the peel is too deep.
The ideal method for improvement of facial wrinkles and lines, therefore, should stimulate new collagen production in the dermis without injuring the epidermis (which results in long downtimes and the possibility of pigmentation changes and scarring). The goal is to improve the quality and tone of facial skin without (or with as little as possible) downtime. The skin care treatment of every client is individualized, as the needs of no two faces are exactly alike. A highly-trained team of aesthetic professionals can determine which services are right for you.
Laser skin tightening can provide extremely dramatic facial and body skin tightening results without surgery. Laser skin tightening is a series of laser treatments, using the laser, designed to stimulate dermal collagen production and regeneration of damaged skin cells. The single-wavelength light energy produced by the laser targets fibroblasts in the dermis, which produce new collagen in response to laser energy. Increased turnover of skin cells is also stimulated, helping to regenerate and eventually replace damaged cells. There is no downtime or external injury to the skin. A person can return to work or reapply makeup immediately following the procedure. The full face and neck can be treated in just one hour.
The new dermal collagen that is produced becomes part of the structure of the treated skin, and thus Laser Skin Tightening can produce improvements in skin which lasts for years. Skin tightening is so powerful that new collagen production can continue several months after the treatment. In general, people report improvement immediately, with even more dramatic results weeks later. New collagen growth results in continued skin tightening and the development of a more youthful complexion with fewer lines, folds, and looseness of the skin. Continued exposure to the damaging ultraviolet rays of the sun will result in breakdown of both existing and new collagen over time, so it is very important to protect your results by limiting sun exposure, using a high-SPF sunblock, and maintaining a healthy and scientifically sound skin care regimen.
Laser skin tightening can be used to treat any part of the body that may benefit from softer, smoother skin quality, wrinkle reduction, improvement of pore size and texture, or elimination of acne scars. The laser system can provide beautiful firm skin on the face, neck, chest, upper arms, legs and other body areas with no downtime and without the need for potentially dangerous numbing creams. Clinical studies suggest that 4-6 treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart in most cases will produce a significant increase in dermal collagen, remodeling of dermal matrix components, and a resulting improvement in overall skin tone and vitality.
