What Is Laser Skin Tightening?
Laser skin tightening is a non-surgical skin-rejuvenation treatment. This procedure uses laser technology to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in smoother, firmer-looking skin.
We recommend laser skin tightening to address many common skin concerns:
- Lines and wrinkles
- Crepey skin
- Sun damage
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Acne and acne scarring
- Large pores
Both men and women can significantly benefit from laser skin tightening treatments.Â
How Does Laser Skin Tightening Work?
During these skin tightening treatments, radiofrequency energy and intense pulsed light (IPL) work together to penetrate deep into the skin while leaving the skin’s surface unharmed. The energy works to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin to provide a multitude of skin benefits.
Collagen is responsible for strengthening and firming skin, helping it look youthful and glowing. Elastin provides flexibility to the skin, helping it stretch out and shrink back. Collagen and elastin are naturally produced by your body, but as you age, the amount of these two proteins diminishes.Â
Improved collagen and elastin production can help the skin look substantially tighter, firmer, and overall healthier.Â
Advantages of Laser Skin Tightening
Skin tightening can have several benefits for a patient’s skin and overall appearance. These are just a few of the notable advantages of laser skin tightening treatments:
- Non-surgical and minimally invasive
- Smoother, more supple skin
- More even skin tone and texture

What You Could Expect from a Laser Skin Tightening Treatment
Before your skin tightening appointment, we will provide instructions about what to avoid so that you can get the most out of your treatment.Â
On the day of your appointment, we’ll review your skin concerns and desired results to make sure we deliver a tailored approach and treatment plan.Â
Once we’re ready to proceed with treatment, we’ll thoroughly prep and cleanse the treatment area. We will give you special eyewear to protect your eyes from the laser during the procedure. Then, we’ll guide the laser device over the target area while walking you through our process to ensure your comfort.
You should feel some warmth on your skin throughout your treatment. Many patients describe the feeling as like a hot stone massage.
Treatments are usually 30 to 60 minutes. After your procedure, we’ll provide instructions for aftercare and answer your questions.Â
Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Skin Tightening
We’ve addressed some of the questions our patients most often ask regarding laser skin tightening treatments below. During your appointment, we can answer any additional questions you may have.Â
What Is the Downtime After Getting a Skin Tightening Treatment?
One of the best parts about laser skin tightening is the minimal downtime afterward. Because of the way the technology works, it only affects the deeper layers of the skin and not the outer layer, minimizing your downtime.Â
After your appointment, you can return to your regular activities. However, you should follow our aftercare instructions, such as staying out of the sun, to support the healing process and maintain long-term results.Â
When Can I Expect to See Results After Laser Skin Tightening Treatment?
Some patients see a difference in the brightness of their skin immediately after treatment. In the days after your appointment, you’ll continue to see improvements in skin tone and texture.Â
Because of the way the skin works and the processes it undergoes, giving your skin time is key. Most patients see results within two weeks of their skin tightening treatment.Â
How Many Treatments Will I Need to Reach Desired Results?
Typically, we recommend four to six treatments for patients to see the optimal results, with appointments spaced about six weeks apart. This schedule allows time between sessions to let the treatment work as the skin begins producing the proteins it needs.Â
We emphasize the importance of meeting with patients, examining their skin, and having honest discussions about skin concerns and expectations for treatment. Based on the information we gather, we can make recommendations and create a treatment plan that is unique to patients and their needs.Â
How Do I Know Whether Laser Skin Tightening Is Right for My Skin?
Laser skin tightening works for many patients of different ages and skin types. We’ll examine your skin and concerns during your consultation to determine whether laser skin tightening would be right for your particular skin and give you the results you seek.Â
