WHAT IS LASER SKIN TIGHTENING?
Laser skin tightening is a minimally invasive procedure with little to no downtime. It heats the skin, causing collagen to constrict, making skin look tighter, more firm, and less crepey. It stimulates production of collagen and elastin in the skin. The procedure is not particularly painful. Although it can be done anywhere on the body, frequent areas include the:
- stomach
- neck
- face
- jawline
The laser gets very hot, though it’s still tolerable on the skin, and it stimulates the skin to make more collagen and elastin, resulting in firmer, less crepey skin that looks tighter. It works best for people between the ages of 30 and 65, and even people who do not yet have noticeable sagging may find it preventive.
