What is skin Tightening?
Laser Skin Tightening uses leading laser technology to heat the skin surface to 41 degrees – 65 degrees underneath the skin in the epidermis/dermis layer to promote collagen production. The heat will then metabolise unhealthy fibres and cells causing stimulation to the fibroblast cells (these produce collagen and elastin fibres). This process works to smooth fine lines, wrinkles and improve the overall texture of the skin. Laser Skin Tightening can be used in any area where there is a loss of collagen.
The procedure is quick and comfortable, with minimal downtime.
