About Skin Tightening

Benefits of Skin Tightening

Laser Skin Tightening uses leading laser technology to heat the skin surface to 41 degrees – 65 degrees underneath the skin in the epidermis/dermis layer to promote collagen production. The heat will then metabolise unhealthy fibres and cells causing stimulation to the fibroblast cells (these produce collagen and elastin fibres).

This process works to smooth fine lines, wrinkles and improve the overall texture of the skin. Laser Skin Tightening can be used in any area where there is a loss of collagen.

The procedure is quick and comfortable, with minimal downtime.

Firmer, faster

There’s only so far you can get with at-home skincare products. Skin Tightening treatments are essential in your quest for firmer skin.

Correct and prevent

Our Therapists are experts in consultation and treatment design, helping you achieve a lifted complexion or take an early step against signs of aging.

Effective alternative

Laser-based Skin Tightening can be a substitute for more intensive anti-aging methods, as it gently heats your skin and doesn’t involve discomfort or downtime.

Restore collagen

This treatment can be performed on your face or body to trigger collagen regeneration and production, making it suitable for treating fine lines, wrinkles, and loose or crepey skin.

How It Works

1

Book Your Consultation

Your Therapist assesses your suitability for Skin Tightening, explains the treatment process, and designs a treatment plan based on your needs. "

2

Controlled Heating

During your Skin Tightening treatment, our laser technology heats cells in your dermis, causing them to contract and metabolise. New collagen and elastin cells gradually take their place.

3

Schedule Follow-Ups

Good things come to those who wait. It takes approximately three months for collagen to regenerate, so results appear over time. Follow-up treatments can help intensify and prolong results.

4

Boost Your Results

Enhance the effects of Skin Tightening with other collagen-boosting treatments, including Fractional RF and LED Light Therapy.

Am I a suitable candidate for Skin Tightening?

This treatment is suitable for mature individuals who currently experiencing signs of ageing such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines. For younger individuals, this treatment can be used for preventative measures against ageing as it helps boost collagen production levels.

How does Skin Tightening work?

Laser Skin Tightening is designed to stimulate dermal collagen production and help with the regeneration of damaged skin cells. Skin tightening works on both Type 1 + Type 3 collagen which is a fibrous protein, found in the extra cellular matrix (Dermis). This treatment involves heat energy being delivered into the skin to penetrate deep down whilst protecting the upper visible layers and keeping them intact. It does this by deep thermal effect within the dermis causing collagen contracture and denaturation. This will then induce growth factors and stimulate new collagen synthesis which will then replace the old collagen with new fibres that are more compact and organized to give a less wrinkled appearance. Results are seen 3 months post treatments.

How many skin tightening treatments are required for best results?

For optimum results, we recommend a minimum of 4-6 treatments done at monthly intervals. Maintenance treatments are recommended to upkeep results. Our experienced team of Skin Therapists will tailor a treatment plan to deliver on your skin goals.
