skin-tightening There are many things we can do to delay and slow facial aging as much as possible. Maintaining an overall healthy lifestyle without smoking or excessive drinking, exercising regularly, caring for our skin, and so on can help us keep our skin’s vitality for longer. Eventually, though, age and gravity will take their toll and we’ll start to notice sagging skin, especially along our jawline.

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to reduce sagging skin without having surgery. Our team at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center specializes in non-surgical cosmetic treatments for the face and body, and we gladly offer several non-invasive or minimally invasive options.

Non-Surgical Skin Tightening

Skin tightening with Viora Reaction™ is a versatile procedure that can be used anywhere on your body, including on your face, to firm and tighten your skin in an entirely non-invasive way. That means no injections or incisions of any kind.

During this treatment, our skilled specialist uses an applicator to send targeted radiofrequency (RF) energy into the areas you want to treat. This RF energy triggers your body’s natural response to create more collagen, the protein that firms, lifts, and tightens your skin. Because this treatment works with your body’s own processes, your results will gradually develop over the course of several sessions.

We are currently adding even more non-surgical skin tightening options using radiofrequency technology, including Venus Legacy™ skin tightening and cellulite reduction as well as radiofrequency-enhanced microneedling coming soon.

Fractionated CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing

Fractionated CO2 laser skin resurfacing is among the most versatile and effective procedures for reducing signs of aging, and that includes restoring firmness to sagging skin. During this treatment, our laser technicians use a specialized laser that creates a series of micro-injuries in your skin. This triggers your body’s healing response. As part of this healing response, your body creates more skin-firming collagen in addition to shedding damaged surface skin and creating an overall smoother, more youthful complexion.

Keep in mind that as effective as this treatment is, it comes with precautions you need to take to minimize potential side effects. This includes protecting your skin from the sun for weeks before and after your session along with caring for your skin in a certain way after your procedure. Because of the need for sun protection, fractionated CO2 laser skin resurfacing is most often performed in the fall or winter for your convenience.

Microneedling with Natural Growth Factors

Did you know your body holds one of the keys to younger, firmer skin – you just need to harness that power in the right way? Within your blood are natural growth factors that can trigger collagen production, and we put them to use as a way to enhance your microneedling treatments.

We begin by taking a small amount of your blood and processing it in a centrifuge to separate out the natural growth factors. We then perform a Réjuvapen® microneedling treatment while applying these natural growth factors, allowing the growth factors to reach the deeper layers of your skin to enhance your collagen production. The combination of the microneedling procedure and your own natural growth factors creates a skin-firming, lifting, rejuvenating effect.

How to Determine the Best Way to Treat Your Sagging Facial Skin

If you have begun noticing facial sagging, it’s important to understand that each person is unique, so it’s crucial to work with an experienced expert to find out which treatment is best for your facial rejuvenation. Our skilled team at our Duluth, GA medical spa and cosmetic laser treatment center is here to help.

Myths and Facts About Skin Tightening

Microneedling, Skin Care, Skin Tightening, Viora Skin Tightening blog, laser skin resurfacing, med spa, microneedling, skin tightening

Firm skin is one of those qualities you don’t normally think about until you don’t have it anymore. Whether your skin has given way to the effects of aging or it’s lost some of its firmness due to the stretching and release of pregnancy or weight fluctuation, seeing sagging skin on your face or body can put a damper on your self-confidence.

Considering how common it is to want firmer skin, it’s no surprise that there are a lot of theories, old wives’ tales, and myths about skin tightening. Our team at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center helps patients achieve firmer skin on a daily basis, so to help you get the real facts, we’re taking a look at four common myths about skin tightening.

Myth: Surgery Is the Only Way to Tighten Skin

Plastic surgeries that tighten the skin are quite common – facelifts, neck lifts, arm lifts, tummy tucks, and so on. While these procedures are highly effective when you’re relying on the skilled hand of a board-certified plastic surgeon, they’re not the only option.

Our Viora Reaction™ skin tightening treatment offers targeted skin firming by using pressure and warmth to stimulate new collagen in your skin. This collagen tightens and tones the skin, whether you are treating your face, neck, buttocks, abdomen, thighs, or other areas. Treatments like microneedling and fractionated laser skin resurfacing produce mild skin firming as well by boosting your collagen growth.

Myth: Exercise Can Tighten Your Skin

You’ve likely seen those YouTube videos demonstrating “facial exercises” that are intended to tighten the skin. Unfortunately, because your skin’s laxity is not related to muscles, there are no exercises for the face or body that will tighten your skin. If you build muscle in your body, you may add enough volume to “fill in” some of your loosened skin, but this is as close as exercise can get to tightening the skin. The only effective ways to firm your skin are professional skin tightening treatments and cosmetic surgeries.

Myth: Only People with Limited Skin Types Can Get Skin Tightening Treatments

There is a kernel of truth behind this myth. Laser treatments like fractionated laser skin resurfacing do produce some skin tightening and laser treatments aren’t always suitable for every skin type.

However, our primary skin tightening procedure, Viora Reaction™, uses radiofrequency energy and not lasers to produce the deep warmth that stimulates your collagen production. As a result, Viora Reaction™ skin tightening is safe and effective for all skin types.

Myth: Body-Firming Creams Can Effectively Tighten Skin

If you go through any skincare aisle in a drug store, you’ll see creams that claim to tighten your skin and reduce cellulite. Unfortunately, these aren’t the at-home miracles that you might expect.

At best, these creams produce temporary skin smoothing. They may do this by moisturizing your skin or by using caffeine to dehydrate the fat cells in your cellulite, making the cellulite look temporarily smoother. However, these are day-by-day results only. The only way to truly firm your skin, rather than making your skin seem firmer, is to stimulate new collagen production, and topical creams don’t penetrate your skin in a way that makes this possible.

Getting Reliably Firmer Skin

Skin tightening is an extremely common goal for people of nearly all ages, but because it’s in high demand, there is an abundance of false hacks and snake oil potions that have popped up. The truth is that only knowledgeable cosmetic healthcare providers like aestheticians and plastic surgeons can offer treatments that effectively tighten the skin. To find out how you can get firmer skin, schedule a free consultation at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center today. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for more aesthetic tips.

Educational, Uncategorized Atlanta dermatologist, atlanta laser treatment, Atlanta skin treatments, Duluth cosmetic surgery, Duluth laser treatment, Duluth medical spa, laser skin resurfacing, microdermabrasion Atlanta, non invasive cosmetic surgery, plastic surgery atlanta, skin spa Atlanta

Acne, dryness, and hyperpigmentation – what do they have in common? They’re all dermatological conditions, of course, but they’re also all treatable with the newest addition to our skincare products and services – SilkPeel® rejuvenation treatment.

The team at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center is very excited about the addition of the SilkPeel® system.

What It Is
SilkPeel® rejuvenation treatment is a new form of dermabrasion and a skincare triple threat, the first and only technology available to provide simultaneous exfoliation, debris removal, and condition-specific topical medication. The SilkPeel® system consists of a diamond-tipped handpiece used to gently but effectively buff away dead skin and impurities, leaving a clean, clear canvas for the appropriate topicals. It is an extremely versatile device that will allow us to provide rapid and dramatic results for myriad skincare concerns and patients of all ages. Plus, the SilkPeel® technology features its own line of complementary topicals formulated specifically for use during the SilkPeel® procedure.

How It Works
Dermalinfusion® evenly abrades the top layer of the skin to a depth of 30 microns. As it penetrates, it exfoliates dead skin cells and delivers the topical medication that is right for your skincare concerns. The immediate introduction of the correct high-performing topicals onto abraded skin enables SilkPeel® to provide you with near-instant results.

Who Can Benefit
The SilkPeel® rejuvenation treatment system can benefit individuals with a large variety of skincare concerns. Men and women of all ages, skin types, and skin tones can safely and effectively utilize the system. Acne, dullness, dryness, aging, and pigmentation issues can all be effectively addressed with SilkPeel®. The system provides consistent results and can be utilized twice as often as standard microdermabrasion.

Why We’re Excited
Dermalinfusion® is non-invasive and surprisingly gentle. It provides safe and painless topical delivery of some of the best skincare products out there. Patients with multiple skincare concerns can even choose to combine topicals for optimal results. And it’s not just for your face!

You don’t need luck to have the smooth skin of your dreams. Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center is offering savings on skin silkening treatments such as laser hair removal, fractionated CO2 laser treatments, and Viora Reaction™ for cellulite reduction. Unwanted hair, deep wrinkles, and cellulite be gone!

Our laser hair removal services create a smoother skin surface by removing unwanted body and facial hair. Laser hair removal is a great way to truly treat yourself. While it is difficult to envision never shaving or waxing again, this treatment makes it possible. Although results vary, it normally requires on average six visits for long lasting hair removal results. Upon completion of treatment, the time you’ll save by eliminating shaving will be invaluable to a busy spring schedule! This month, we are offering savings on laser hair removal total service packages for the lip, chin, neck, chest, abdomen, and more.

In addition to treating large areas with laser hair removal, fractionated lasers are available to target even the most specific areas of your skin. These laser systems allow us to tailor your treatments depending on the extent of facial wrinkles or skin damage you may have. Fractionated CO2 laser treatments are typically used to smooth the appearance of deep facial wrinkles, melasma (spots of skin darkening), and troublesome acne scarring. Additionally, Fraxel lasers can be used to treat the neck, chest, and hands of men and women. Fractionated (Fraxel) CO2 laser technology operates with a series of tiny laser columns to infiltrate the dermis generating tiny wounds that the body heals by intensifying production of collagen and elastin and producing “new skin.”

Did you know that Viora Reaction™ is not only an anti-aging treatment, but it can also lessen the appearance of cellulite? Just beneath the skin’s surface, connective collagen fibers are pushed and pulled by even the smallest amounts of fat, creating an uneven, dimpled skin surface texture. Smooth it out and create the lean, toned appearance you desire with Viora Reaction™ for cellulite reduction. As additional functions, Viora Reaction™ can address multiple concerns patients might have including face and body contouring and skin tightening.
