Skin tightening is a cosmetic procedure that helps tighten the skin by stimulating collagen production on your face and body using radiofrequency energy, ultrasound energy, laser energy, or a combination of these energies. The devices used in these procedures help send heat into deeper layers of the skin, and shrink the tissues which have lost its elasticity, to help your skin achieve a more toned and youthful look. At La Unique Laser Centre, we offer skin treatments for anyone who would like to revitalize their look without invasive procedures or injections. You no longer must accept fine lines and wrinkles or skin discoloration as an inevitable part of the aging process.

How Does Skin Tightening Work?

Overtime, our skin might naturally lose its elasticity due to factors like aging, sun exposure, smoking, or other lifestyle changes. The breakdown of elastin fibres in the skin, causes the skin to lose its ability to stretch and bounce back. During skin tightening procedures, devices are used to help deliver heat to deeper layers of the skin, to trigger collagen production. The heat will help the collagen to contract, thus helping in natural generation of collagen in our body. In case of ultrasound skin tightening, sound waves are used to boost collagen under the skin’s surface. During a laser skin tightening, lasers are used to send heat deep into the dermis layer of the skin. This treatment is particularly effective to boost collagen in the skin from the stomach and arm area. Another treatment, IPL (Intense Pulse Light) uses various wavelengths of light to target the deeper layers of the skin. This treatment is effective in treating larger areas of the skin, and it is often combined with radiofrequency, to help your skin achieve its toned and bouncy look.

  • Arms
  • Back
  • Buttocks

What To Expect Post-Treatment?

You can expect to see visible improvement in your skin within a week of the treatment. After treatment, new collagen will ensure continual development of tightened skin, giving you a firmer and youthful look. It is important to protect the treated areas from direct sunlight exposure by using a broad range sunscreen, since the UV rays of the sun will tend to breakdown the collagen in your skin, resulting in damaged skin. There will be some redness, swelling, and sunburn like sensation in the treated area, which is normal and should subside after 48 hours. Contact your practitioner if you think your symptoms are getting worse or persist longer.
