Skin Tightening is one of the cosmetic solutions that is performed to treat sagging skin, which can either be invasive (surgical) or non-invasive.

1. LASER SKIN TIGHTENING (PHOTOREJUVENATION)
Laser skin tightening is a popular cosmetic procedure used for skin rejuvenation. It is a more effective minimally invasive non-surgical procedure to rejuvenate ageing skin when compared to other procedures. At SKIN SECRETS, we use the most advanced technology – Non-ablative fractional RF laser source to tighten the skin, which heats the collagen under the skin’s surface without damaging the skin, only to stimulate collagen and elastin. This procedure helps in reducing wrinkles, fine lines and skin laxity. Laser skin tightening treatment provides good results with no downtime.
As the skin’s natural store of collagen is gradually replenished, Patients will start to look younger due to smoother and firmer skin. Results of skin tightening improve over the months following treatment. Optimal results require up to 6 sessions spaced one month apart. To yield best results, it is often performed in combination with other collagen stimulating treatments.

Procedure
The area to be treated is washed with an antibacterial solution first and then wiped with an alcohol swab to make the area sterile...
A topical anaesthetic cream will be applied on the area to be treated and protective eyewear is given to the patient. Patients will experience only mild discomfort in the form of heat sensation, which is eased by the cooling blast of air produced by the handpiece. The doctor will use a handheld device to brief pulses of laser energy in the prepared area. The beam bypasses the top layer of the skin and works at a deeper level.
So, the top layer remains intact and only the targeted tissued get stimulated, thus tightening the skin. Skin becomes supple and naturally elastic.
Medical considerations
Pregnant women should not take treatment.
