Permanent Improvement of Facial Wrinkles and Lines, and tightening of loose or lax skin on body.

Over the last several years, one focus of aesthetic medical technology has been on a means for improving fine wrinkles and lines on the face without prolonged 'downtime'. This is often referred to as non-invasive collagen remodeling and it can now be accomplished with Laser Skin Rejuvenation /Collagen Rebuilding Treatments.

Traditionally this skin renewing treatment been accomplished with laser peels (carbon dioxide, erbium) or deep chemical peels (phenol, high-concentration TCA), which resurface the skin by creating a second-degree burn. The epidermis is essentially burned through and the dermis is injured, stimulating new collagen production. The problems with these aggressive peels are the following:

• An open, weeping facial wound (like a burn which has blistered) for several  days, followed by crusting/scabbing
• A great deal of discomfort and itching
• A prolonged period (frequently several months) of erythema (facial redness) which must be concealed with make-up
• The possibility of hypo- or hyperpigmentation due to melanocyte injury or overstimulation
• A line of 'demarcation' between peeled and non-peeled skin
• The risk of scarring if the level of the peel is too deep
• The possibility of a 'waxy' or 'shiny' skin appearance with deep or repeated peels

The ideal method for improvement of facial wrinkles and lines, therefore, should stimulate new collagen production in the dermis, *without injuring the epidermis (or result in long downtimes and the possibility of pigmentation changes and scarring). Our goal is to improve the quality and tone of facial skin, and no facial skin without (or with as little as possible) downtime. 

Laser Skin Tightening, or Laser skin Rejuvenation treatments with the Candela Gentle Yag have been clinically proven to show such results in tightening loose lax skin.  Patients seeking Firmer, Tighter Skin with Minimal Discomfort have popularized the non-surgical treatments with the Yag Laser.  The Gentle Yag "tightens" by heating the underlying layers on the skin , and therefore producing more collagen resulting in less skin wrinkles and smoother, younger-looking skin. 

How does it work?

The non-ablative laser creates thermal injury down below the epidermis resulting in a healing response to the upper dermis. This process then causes stimulation of greater collage production, which in turn causes the skin to contract (tighten). By activating enough of your own collagen source, wrinkles and sagging skin can begin to diminish within weeks after the treatment.  Read more here on Laser Treatments to Firm and Tighten the Skin, and get Pricing.
