One of the greatest advances of the dermatological industry is laser skin tightening. It’s a non-invasive procedure that works by boosting the production of collagen in the skin, giving you a radiant complexion and reduced skin laxity, without any surgery or invasion. Additionally, this is one of the best treatments for those who have early signs of aging such as wrinkles skin or skin sagging.

Benefits of laser skin tightening

1. Non-invasive procedure – This procedure is basically non-surgical, which means there are no cuts or incisions involved in your skin. This reduces the risk of infections or any kind of scarring on the skin. Also, the most beneficial factor is that the clients can resume their normal activities after the procedure has occurred.
2. Collagen booster – The mode of treatment behind skin laser tightening is heating the layers of the skin underlying, giving a boost to the production of collagen. Collagen is the main protein that gives the skin a firm and elastic look. Over a couple of days, when the skin produces collagen naturally, you eventually get a firm and tight skin with little signs of aging.
3. Natural and slow results – This procedure is minimally invasive and the results produce with time, making people unaware that you have undergone some treatment. The effects develop slowly over time as the collagen production increases. So, this is also very beneficial for the skin because it gives a natural looking texture rather than artificial texture.
4. Improvement of skin texture – Not only is this procedure important for skin tightening, but also to improve its texture. And it does so by reducing the symptoms of premature aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles and certain acne scars.
5. Long lasting results – The best part of laser skin tightening is that it gives long lasting results, pertaining up to several years. Whenever aging will occur naturally, this procedure can have a significant impact on delaying the need for more invasive treatments such as surgery.
6. Minimum downtime – As compared to other cosmetic and surgical procedures, the recovery time for laser skin tightening is much less. Sometimes patients may experience certain redness or swelling, but these side effects usually subside within a few days or even a few hours.
7. Versatile – This treatment can be operated on various regions of the body, which includes your face, neck, arms, or even abdomen. This makes it a great option adding to the versatility and improving skin laxity in multiple body areas.

Risks of laser skin tightening

1. Short lived side effects – Certain mild and short duration side effects can follow post laser skin tightening procedure, which includes redness, inflammation or heat sensation in the treated area.
2. Alterations in skin sensitivity and pigmentation – Those individuals who specifically have a darker skin tone are more prone to getting their skin increased sensitivity to sunlight post this treatment, making them highly prone to sunburn and pigmentation.
3. Skin burn – It is always recommended to get this procedure done from a trained and experienced dermatologist as if high heat treatment is given or there is improper administration of the treatment procedure, it can make the skin highly prone to blisters and burns.
4. Severe cases need other interventions – Those who have extremely sagging skin are not much benefitted with this treatment, rather only those remain advantageous who have mild to moderate changes in skin laxity.
5. Suitability varies – This treatment is not much advantageous for people with certain conditions such as those having active acne, severe skin laxity or any current skin infection.
6. Expensive – This is a relatively expensive procedure and if multiple sessions are needed, the cost may rise manifold. Also for sustained results, one may need maintenance sittings, further raising the cost.
7. Uneven results – Sometimes certain areas of the skin respond more to this procedure, giving uneven results. For uniformity, more sessions may be required.

This non-invasive procedure is relatively great for those who want to achieve a firm skin with reduced signs of aging. Always be mindful of consulting a well trained dermatologist for getting such a procedure done for more benefits.
