Category: CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing

How do I prepare for skin tightening treatment?

Your skin should be thoroughly cleansed and dried, removing any makeup, creams, oils, topical anaesthetics or self-tanning products before laser treatment. The intended treatment area should not be exposed to sunlight or tanning booth light for 7 days prior to treatment.  Treatment is repeated after the skin has healed sufficiently.” ”>

How does the skin tightening treatment work?

The laser creates a beam of intense infra-red that deeply penetrates the skin tissue, causing a ‘zone’ of heat. This stimulates collagen and results in tighter, more youthful looking skin. See the Laser Tightening Science below for more a more detailed explanation.” ”>

How many treatment sessions will I need?

The number of sessions is approximately 3 or less but this depends on the area being treated and the condition of your skin. Many factors impact the efficacy of individual laser treatments, including the severity of the condition being treated. We incorporate a course of MDA microdermabrasion to ensure that the laser penetrates effectively.  You will see improvement following the FIRST treatment, as your skin heals it will visibly tighten, pulling all the wrinkles taut.” ”>

Are there side effects?

Side effects are uncommon, but may include redness, swelling, skin lightening or darkening and (rarely) blistering, in the treated area, which seldom last for more than a few days. Permanent side effects are very rare; men may experience hair loss in the treated area.” ”>
