LASER SKIN TIGHTENING
REFRESH, RENEW & rejuvenate your SKIN
A safe, non-invasive and effective treatment that stimulates collagen production to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time. With no incisions or downtime, laser skin tightening is a comfortable treatment option for skin types I-IV and is perfect for those who have begun to notice early signs of ageing.
Laser skin tightening is a non-invasive, non-surgical method of using laser to tighten the skin by stimulating collagen production and cell regeneration.
During treatment the laser directs pulses of light energy into the skin. This energy converts to heat, which creates mild thermal damage to already damaged cells, while leaving neighbouring healthy cells unharmed. Your body responds to this mild thermal damage by triggering it's own healing response, producing fresh collagen and elastin to heal the area.
Over time, this helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve pigmentation and skin laxity, as well as creating a tighter, smoother look. Results are visible after the very first treatment although a course is recommended for optimal, long-lasting results.
NON-INVASIVE & NON-SURGICAL
This is a non-invasive method of using a laser to tighten the skin by stimulating collagen and regenerating the skin cells.
SAFE & COMFORTABLE
As this is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment, there is little discomfort and no downtime. Our expert laser therapist is fully qualified to provide laser and light treatments using the latest in medical grade lasers.
SUN SPOTS & SUN DAMAGE
Over the course of treatment, the appearance of sun spots and pigmentation caused by sun damage will be improved, leaving a clearer, younger and fresher complexion.
DEEPER SKIN PENETRATION FOR BETTER, LONGER-LASTING RESULTS
Laser works much deeper in your skin to improve a number of conditions at their root cause.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Our experienced laser therapist will carry out a detailed consultation and prepare an individual treatment plan, followed by a patch test. They will also discuss the expected results with you. You can book a full treatment one week later. This delay allows us to assess the longer-term reaction of your skin to the treatment and gives you time to think about whether you wish to proceed with treatment.
During treatment, we may use a topical anaesthetic cream to make the treatment more comfortable. You will be provided with protective eyewear. Small pulses of laser will be directed at the skin, whilst the cooling handset protects and cools the area. Side effects could include swelling or redness which should decrease within hours or days of the treatment.
After treatment some results may be noticeable immediately. However, results will be most noticeable with consistent treatment. An initial course of 6 treatments is recommended, approximately 4 weeks apart, with a top-up every 6 months to maintain results.
HOW TO PREPARE
Avoid exposing the area to direct sun for 2 weeks prior to your appointment and always protect your skin with sunscreen in between treatments. Make sure that the skin is completely clear of fake tan prior to your appointment. We recommend you do not apply fake tan for 10 days leading up to your appointment and for 1 week after treatment. Avoid alcohol, aspirin and ibuprofen for one week prior to your treatment and let us know if you are taking antibiotics or blood thinners.
AFTERCARE
Aloe Vera, followed by SPF 30 or higher, will be applied to the skin immediately after treatment. There may be some mild redness and swelling at the treatment area which could last up to two hours. Keep the area clean and dry for 48 hours and avoid applying makeup and lotions for 24 hours. Avoid the use of creams containing salicyclic or glycolic acid, and avoid swimming, saunas, hot baths or hot showers for 48 hours. Always protect the skin between treatments with SPF 30 or higher.
