Skin tightening laser treatment is a minimally invasive treatment with little to no downtime. The collagen is constricted by heating that in turn makes the skin look tighter, crisp and firm. This treatment produces collagen and elastin in the skin.
The treatment is safe and has no use of anaesthesia during the procedure. It takes 30 to 90 minutes to complete the operation, and it should only be done by a cosmetic dermatologist or a highly skilled skincare practitioner. After the procedure one can expect little swelling and redness for certain period of time.
The result of the session appears 3 – 6 weeks after the session. If proper care is maintained with regular use of SPF, the results of the skin tightening laser can last up to 3 years. It is most effective for adults between the ages of 30 and 65, although even those who do not yet have visible drooping may benefit from it as a preventative measure. Surgery may be a preferable alternative if your skin is particularly flexible. You can consult the expert dermatologist at pavithra hospital to get a clear vision on what type of skin tightening treatment is suitable for you.
