About Laser Skin Tightening
Laser Skin tightening is a non-invasive laser treatment. It is the deposition of heat superficially in the epidermis. The mechanism is thought to include the activation of fibroblasts and the creation of type 1 collagen and the deposition of heat 3-4mm into the dermis causing collagen contraction. Inflammatory cytokines resulting from thermal injury signal wound healing mechanisms.
What are the benefits of Skin Tightening?
- Toning of the skin and pore size reduction, stimulation of collagen and rejuvenation of the skin.
- Deals with the deeper damage/skin laxity.
- Aim is to improve skin laxity by collagen contraction.
What areas are treated?
Areas that are commonly treated are face, jawline, neck, and knees.
How does it work?
The energy of the Gentle Max Pro’s long-pulsed Nd/YAG is delivered deeper into the dermis (penetration depth approximately 3-4mm). Aim is to improve skin laxity by collagen contraction.
Am I suitable for the treatment?
Suitable for all skin types. Suitable in particular for mild to moderate skin laxity.
How many treatments do I need?
Usually a course of 3-6 treatments at monthly intervals. Full result three months post treatment due to collagen stimulation/production.
Are there any side effects or down time post treatment?
It is a reasonably comfortable treatment with minimal downtime (skin remains flushed for up to 24 hours, with possible swelling.
