Laser Skin TighteningSkin laxity on the face results in a loss of jawline definition, drooping eyebrows and jowls – and can start to become noticeable in our late 30’s.
The science of non-surgical skin tightening is a rapidly growing area of aesthetic medicine - as the demand for effective skin tightening treatments that do not require a surgeon’s knife increases.

(Before and after images are real clients – your results may differ) How Does Infra-Red Laser Skin Tightening Work? All of the technologies that are being harnessed in a variety of devices to help tighten loose skin work on the principle of delivering energy to a targeted area of the skin, causing heating of the underlying tissues. Laser skin tightening using Infra Red light is one way of delivering energy that heats the skin causing collagen to contract, in a controlled way, that makes it tighten almost immediately, and also starts off the body’s own healing process to produce fresh, new collagen which continues the tightening process over a period of months; aiming to produce a more youthful appearance to the skin in the treated area.
What Happens During the Treatment and How Long Does it take to Recover?
Your first discussion with our specialist practitioner should clearly set out your expectations of the treatment and the practitioner should tell you whether or not these results are achievable using Laser Skin Tightening.
Your medical history will be taken, to ensure that there are no reasons why you shouldn’t have the treatment. The procedure is straight forward and the practitioner will use a small hand piece to touch your skin, delivering the energy evenly using gentle circular motions. Most clients describe the procedure as comfortable and pleasant – no anaesthetic (numbing) cream is required. Depending on the extent of the area to be treated, each session takes around 15 minutes and most people find that they can return to work immediately after treatment. Laser skin tightening is usually performed every 3 - 4 weeks for 6 treatment sessions in order to achieve the optimal result. 6 monthly maintenance sessions can then be booked to help maintain results. How Safe is Laser Skin Tightening Treatment?
The treatment is generally well tolerated, however immediately after the procedure, you may notice that the skin in the treated area will feel warm and may become pink and a little dry for up to 48 hours after treatment.
Who is Not Suitable for Treatment with Laser Skin Tightening? As long as you are generally healthy and don’t have any skin diseases or infections in the area requiring treatment there are few medical reasons why people should not undergo this treatment.
Although there is no evidence that this treatment is harmful for pregnant women, we would always advise that you wait until after you have given birth before embarking upon a course of treatment.

(Before and after images are real clients – your results may differ) Clinical and research studies have proved that Laser Skin Tightening treatment can significantly improve the appearance of loose skin on the face and body. Although some initial facial skin tightening may be noticeable immediately after the treatment, it is the stimulation of new collagen through deep heating of the skin that eventually causes skin tightening over a period of months as the treatment progresses.
