If you are concerned by unwanted wrinkles, scars, and even stretch marks, and looking for an effective solution… you should consider laser skin tightening. A non-surgical skin tightening procedure for those experiencing loose skin or skin quality problems.
Now an established technique, the effectiveness of fractional CO2 lasers has been proven by various studies. In operation, the laser is used to heat up the dermis (underneath the top layer of skin or epidermis). This causes the skin to contract while also increasing collagen production.
At Rothesay Laser & Hair Clinic, we use the Cynosure Genius RF Microneedling Platform and Cynosure Ultra for these treatments. Some common questions we are asked include:
While laser skin tightening for face can achieve many improvements, facelift surgery attains more dramatic effects by comparison. Laser skin tightening treatment is far less invasive and can be used to great effect as a supplement to a facelift – either before or after the procedure. It is a technique that is not designed to provide the drastic improvements a facelift provides. That said, getting a facelift is not always the right choice and a skin firming laser treatment may suffice. Always consult with a professional when making health care choices of this nature.
This answer varies from case to case. In cases of mild aging and minor skin damage, one or two sessions might be sufficient. Severe cases obviously require more extensive treatment and can take four or more sessions.
In most cases it takes 2-3 months for the sub-dermal collagen to mature and significant results to become visible. Many patients see the best results around the six-month mark.
