Laser toning and tightening are non-surgical procedures that use lasers to promote collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. The main protein that gives the skin its strength, elasticity, and glow is collagen. Metro Dermatology offers a variety of laser technologies to suit a variety of requirements and underlying anatomy. Depending on the circumstance, the benefits of laser skin tightening and toning are listed below.
1. Non-Surgical Facelift and Body Contouring:
In general, patients with mild to moderate jowling, a sagging neck, and other visible signs of aging can benefit from non-surgical facelift alternatives. If you want to avoid a facelift or have a chronic condition that prevents you from having surgery, this method is also ideal. Laser toning can be used to improve mild to moderate issues in other areas in addition to facial skin laxity. The skin becomes firmer and smoother by stimulating the production of collagen.
2. No Downtime or Very Little Downtime:
Following treatment, you can go back to your normal activities. There will be some mild redness, swelling, and a warm sensation to the skin, but these symptoms will go away in a few hours.
3. Negligible Distress:
As a non-ablative laser treatment, meaning it eliminates no skin layer evacuation, laser conditioning causes no or very little distress.
4. Increased Production of Collagen:
The primary building block of the skin that gives it its youthful glow is collagen. However, as people get older, their bodies produce less of this protein, which leads to loose skin and a dry, leathery texture. Fortunately, laser technology for skin tightening is made to get into the dermis, the skin's deeper layer, and release just enough heat to get collagen production going.
5. Long-Term Effects:
The effects of skin laser treatments typically last for years after a series of sessions or, depending on the extent of your skin's elasticity. Even though these sessions are usually enough to give you skin that is tauter and looks younger, you can also get a treatment once a year to target areas that are especially prone to tissue laxity.
