- Laser Skin Tightening with Pulsed Light

Firm Up Loose Skin

We all age, yet none of us wish to see the signs of ageing. Until now, major plastic surgery was the only effective treatment for skin laxity, which adds years to our overall facial appearance. Yet, while we want to maintain a firm, fresh look, today¡Çs active lifestyles leave little time for post-operative recuperation period, not to mention the side effects or prohibitive costs of surgery. Besides, who wants to wait until sagging is so serious that it demands a major surgical procedure? Today, there is a simple, quick and non-invasive alternative: pulsed light, Safety and painlessly, this technology tightens loose skin on the face, neck, arms, and abdomen, where sagging skin unattractively points out the passage of time.

How does pulsed light technology work?
Without damaging the skin¡Çs surface, pulsed light safely and effectively heats the inner layer-dermis- of the skin, including the formation of collagen, essential for a firm, young look.

What to Expect?
Patient must consult with a physician to determine their course of treatment. Results depend on factors that include age, the target area¡Çs location and the severity of skin laxity. Patients generally note improvement soon after treatment, while others witness results gradually. Before treatment, a cold gel is usually applied to the area to be treated. Then, the practitioner delivers precise pulses of light to the target area. Patients report little or no discomfort with pulsed light treatment, and can return to their normal activities immediately.

Is it safe?
Pulsed light assures safe, effective treatment. Light pulses precisely heat their intended targets, causing little or no skin damage or discomfort. This optimal use of energy both increases safety and eliminates the need for cooling methods. Clinical trials conducted by leading authorities on pulsed light document its safety and effectiveness.

Does it hurt?
While pain tolerance is an individual matter, most people tolerate pulsed light treatment very well and there is no need for topical anesthetic. The treated area might get pinkish to mild red after the treatment, which may last up to a few hours. Post treatment cold compresses are an option for sensitive skins.

The Pulsed Light Advantage
Conventional skin tightening methods include topical skin lotions and creams, dermabrasion, chemical peels and resurfacing lasers. As superficial emulsions cannot penetrate the true skin effectively, they are not capable of restoring collagen in the skin¡Çs inner layer fully. They may have better value if used in combination with other treatments. Ablative resurfacing, while more effective, may cause swelling and redness. In any case, the recovery time that often accompanies more dramatic resurfacing may not suit those patients who seek effective skin tightening with minimal risk and no down time.

In contrast, pulsed light penetrates and heals your skin¡Çs inner layer without harming its surface. The light tightens, as well as tones and textures your skin. The result: improved overall skin appearance without injury.
