Skin Tightening

Skin Tightening Face & body Here's an image that may reveal why cosmetic lasers provide such excellent skin tightening results to effectively reduce wrinkles:

Think of our skin as a balloon and the natural collagen in our skin as the air that causes the balloon to inflate and become smooth. The more collagen you have in your skin, like the more air in the balloon, the smother and tighter your skin becomes.

As we age, our skin produces less collagen and elastic tissue. Like the deflating balloon, our skin begins to sag and develop deeper and deeper wrinkles. Soon we lose the appearance of young skin and youthful beauty.

Skin tightening lasers stimulate your own collagen, producing cells to make more collagen. The more collagen in your skin, like the more air in the balloon, the smoother and tighter your skin becomes. Skin tightening lasers also tighten up old collagen, also tightening your skin.

At Cultura, we choose from among 5 tightening lasers because we know one size does not fit all. For example, the Aluma laser is the most effective for tightening the eye area. It tightens the upper lid, lower lid and improves crows’ feet. When combined with Botox injections, it competes with eye lid surgery (blepharoplasty). It also improves eye wrinkles, puffiness and dark spots surrounding the eye area. The Titan laser is most effective for creating effective results tightening the jowl, cheek and jaw area. When the Titan procedure is combined with anti-wrinkle injections, such as collagen injections, Restylane injections, Juvederm injections. Perlane injections or Radiesse injections, the treatment strongly competes with surgical face lifts.

It’s the best of all worlds... skin tightening lasers tighten your facial skin and dermal fillers fill in the nasal labial folds (facial laugh lines) and marionette lines. Thermage is most effective for tightening neck laxity and neck wrinkles; Affirm is most effective for forehead wrinkles. The liquid face lift is a tremendous non-invasive treatment (requiring no recovery period or down time) that combines skin tightening lasers, beauty injections (Botox and fillers) and beauty skin care products in a powerful combination to achieve a youthful look and smooth skin most think only obtainable with plastic surgery.

With the liquid face lift, there is no post treatment redness, discoloration or transient side effects.Except for improvement, patients leave the office without any observable signs of treatment. Patients usually notice immediate improvement in skin laxity after each treatment, which is enhanced by a series of monthly treatments, recommended for optimal long-lasting results.

These same lasers can be used to tighten the arms, tighten the stomach, tighten the thighs and tighten the buttocks.
