Loose Skin

One of the things that sucks with age is that your skin starts to sag, you lose that elasticity, but there is a laser skin tightening treatment that can help reduce the signs of aging that can be used on men and women of all skin types and skin tones who wish to achieve dramatic results without painful surgery and lengthy recovery times.

If you want to have your skin tightened, this laser skin tightening technique is minimally invasive that be right for you. This non-surgical process uses an infrared light laser that heats the collagen under your skin's surface causing your skin to contract or tighten. If you have your facial skin tightened, you will notice immediate results and there is no downtime. Additional skin tightening occurs over the course of a few months, but optimal results will usually require two or three treatments about a month apart.

Areas of the body that skin lasers can tighten include:

Face

Neck

Abdomen

Arms

Legs

Buttocks

Most areas of the body

Laser skin tightening can help you achieve younger-looking, smoother skin without undergoing expensive surgeries such as a face lift or a tummy tuck ? and the best news is that the results won't fade after a few months. Laser skin treatment cost can vary depending on what your needs are like the size and location of the area to be tightened, and the type of laser used. But facial skin tightening is less expensive than invasive surgeries.

If you choose to have laser skin tightening here are a few dos and don'ts that you should do before treatment:

Before your treatment you should avoid direct sun exposure or sun tanning booths for two or more weeks

You should not any oral acne medications such as acutane or similar for at least six months before your laser treatment

You should not use of topical acne medications such as retinol, retin-A or similar for 7 days before your laser treatment

The day of your procedure you wash and dry your skin thoroughly so that you remove any cosmetics, oils, creams or self-tanning lotions before treatment

Laser-light is applied to the surface of the skin and passes harmlessly into its deeper layers. As the laser light reaches the dermis, a controlled amount of therapeutic heat is delivered to the collagen which results in growth stimulation and tightening.

A series of four to six laser treatments is recommended. Maximum visible results are usually reached six months following the last treatment session. Treatments are usually scheduled four weeks apart.
