Results with the Gentle YAGare more predictable than with radio frequency treatments such as Thermage. The Yag laser treatment produces tightening of the skin, a reduction in wrinkles, increased firmness and smoother appearance.  

The Candela laser technology employs light energy to effectively remodel the body’s collagen and regenerate damaged skin cells transferring heat to the deepest layers of the skin. The non-ablative laser creates thermal injury below the epidermis resulting in a healing response to the upper dermis. This process then causes stimulation of collagen 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.

The Laser Collagen Rebuilding treatment is also effective for improving acne scars, flattening surgical scars, & tightening loose skin on the stomach, breasts, arms, thighs, knees, neck, and hands.  Skin begins to sag from aging and from various changes to the body.  Read more about the Yag Laser Non- Surgical Facelift, and laser treatment facts, laser type reviews, laser safety, and what you should expect with Candela's Gente Yag Laser Skin Treatments.

HOW DOES LASER WORK?

The Candela GentleYAG emits a single concentrated light beam which delivers thermal stimulus within the dermis initiating the formation of collagen and elastin. The general appearance and tone of the skin gradually improves, diminishing the appearance fine lines and wrinkles. The skin continues to improve for months to follow after the course of treatments.

IS LASER SAFE?

Yes, laser has been used in a variety of medical and cosmetic procedures for many years. Laser is a form of light which is unable to produce genetic change, and thereby, does not contribute to the development of cancer or pose any risk to the skin (unlike UVA and UVB).

HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE REQUIRED?

The amount of sessions required will vary from person to person and also the area being treated. For the majority of people an average of 4 to 6 sessions are required to improve skin tone and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. This average is dependent on factors such as age, hormones, skin type and an individuals’ ability to produce and maintain collagen and elastin.

IS LASER PAINFUL?

Most patients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable, similar in sensation to the flick of an elastic band. The degree of discomfort experienced is dependant on the energy levels used, skin type, and of course the individual.  Caffine tends to lower your pain tolerance, so we discourage taking this on the day of your treatment.  Generally the treatment is well tolerated.  For those who find the procedure uncomfortable or are treating a sensitive area, a topical anesthetic is available. 

*We now offer patients the In Motion Technique with the laser.  This method is much less painful and produces results at the level of the traditional on contact method. 

IS LASER WRINKLE REDUCTION AND SKIN TIGHTENING PERMANENT?

The permanence of the treatment is dependent on an individual’s ability to synthesise and maintain collagen and elastin, and  the effects of their lifestyle choices on the skin.   Most patients experience a "permanent" tightening of the skin and wrinkle reduction; however, the aging process continues for all of us, and ultimately, maintenance treatments and other professional routine skin care will need to be performed (especially where expression lines are formed). 

IS LASER SUITABLE FOR ME?  

  The Candela GentleYAG can safely and effectively treat any skin type. Both male and female patients, of most ages can be treated on any area of the body with the area beneath the eyebrows being the only exception.  Laser is one of several options have we have available to meet your aesthetic goals.  We see *optimal results in combining Laser Rejuvenation treatments with professional microderm treatments, and other hands on esthertic treatments such as microcurrent, as well as with Botox Cosmetic or Dysport injections for strong facial movements causing lines and wrinkles.  Learning more about you: lifestyle, your photosensitivity, & your health is a good way to determine the customized  skin rejuvenation treatments that we will recommend for you & your aesthetic goals!  

 

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY TREATMENT?

To maximiseresults and to reduce the risk of adverse skin reactions the following activities should be avoided for at least 2-4 weeks prior to treatment: 

  • Sun exposure (apply a SPF 30+ sunscreen daily and avoid the sun),
  • Solariums, Fake tan,
  • Harsh exfoliants or products containing AHA’s,
  • Your skin should be clean and free of make-up on the day of treatment.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER MY TREATMENT?

Immediately following your treatment, the area may appear slightly red and swollen. This redness and swelling may last for an hour or two to a day. Over time the skin becomes visibly rejuvenated, collagen enhanced, and more youthful in appearance.

ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS ON MY ACTVITITIES AFTER THE TREATMENT?

After the treatment you may resume your normal day to day activities; however some patients may experience more redness than others, and should plan their social engagements accordingly. Patients should limit their sun/solarium exposure and apply a SPF 30+ sunscreen to the area treated.

WHY ARE CANDELA TECHNOLOGIES DIFFERENT?

The advanced technologies of Candela Lasers are recognised as one of the most efficient and effective laser systems on the market.

The GenltleYAG emits the optimal wavelength of light to deliver sufficient thermal energy to the dermis, producing collagen remodeling and contraction. Due to the low melanin absorption properties of the laser itself and the patented Dynamic Cooling Device the skin is constantly protected from thermal damage, greatly minimizing the risk of adverse reactions.
