Can Laser Skin Tightening Reduce Signs of Aging?

The natural aging process affects our minds and bodies in countless ways, but the cosmetic signs of facial aging are some of the first – and most frustrating – to appear. Once you begin to notice lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin in places like your cheeks or eyelids, they will likely have already escaped the control of topical products. At this point, professional aesthetic treatments offer one of the best opportunities for reversing or improving these signs of aging. Here, you’ll find information from board-certified physician, and founder of Mountain Med Spa, Dr. Rock Navarkal on why laser skin tightening in Denver, CO might be the anti-aging solution that can help you finally restore a more youthful, firmer complexion.

Is laser skin tightening right for me?

Men and women who are frustrated or embarrassed by lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and drooping features on the face and/or body may be excellent candidates for laser skin tightening. Ideal patients should have early, mild, or moderate signs of skin laxity and be in good overall health. Patients who have a significant amount of loose skin, such as that associated with extreme weight loss, are typically better suited to cosmetic skin removal surgery.

What flaws can be corrected with laser skin tightening?

Laser skin tightening is primarily used to combat various signs of aging, though it can also be helpful for men and women who have mild skin laxity or wrinkles associated with moderate weight loss or pregnancy. Most often, patients turn to laser skin tightening to address one or more of the following concerns:

• Fine lines
• Facial wrinkles
• Wrinkled eyelids
• Sagging cheeks
• Drooping jowls
• Loose skin
• Wrinkled stomach skin

How long is recovery after laser skin tightening?

One of the most compelling advantages of laser skin tightening is that patients are able to resume their normal daily routines almost immediately after treatment with no downtime. The treated areas may appear slightly red or inflamed, but these side effects typically resolve within just a few hours, allowing patients to comfortably return to school, work, and social activities.

When will I see results after laser skin tightening?

Each laser skin tightening treatment session lasts for about one hour, and most patients require a series of 3 – 6 sessions to obtain their desired results. It is important for patients considering laser skin tightening to understand that it can take several weeks or months for the effects of treatment to become noticeable. This is because laser skin tightening works by stimulating the production of new, healthy collagen and elastin fibers beneath the skin’s surface – a process that takes time.

How long does laser skin tightening last?

Laser skin tightening results will depend on how many treatments you undergo, how advanced your skin laxity is to start with, your diet and lifestyle, and other factors. For the longest-lasting results, patients should minimize sun exposure, maintain a stable weight, eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and refrain from smoking. For most men and women, the results of laser skin tightening can be enjoyed for up to 18 – 24 months before a touch-up session may be needed.
