WHAT IS SKIN TIGHTENING?
As you age, your natural supply of collagen and elastin begins to decrease, causing the skin to become less firm, which leads to fine lines and a drooping appearance. If you want to tighten your skin without having surgery, then you may want to consider laser skin tightening at Cosmopolitan Contouring.
By employing our state-of-the-art laser-based technology, this procedure works to increase the production of collagen and elastin so you can attain a more firm, taut appearance.

SKIN TIGHTENING RESULTS
Non-surgical skin tightening treatments offer an innovative approach to minimizing fine lines and wrinkles while boosting collagen production for enhanced skin firmness and elasticity. By employing advanced technology, we provide skin-tightening treatments that effectively lift and tighten facial areas without the need for incisions or puncturing the skin, ensuring a comfortable and non-invasive experience.
Additional Reading
Unlike traditional methods that may leave the skin raw, treatments penetrate heat deep into the skin layers without damaging the surface, promoting tightening in the targeted areas. For optimal results, we generally recommend two to three treatment sessions, with final results typically observable within two to six months after the initial procedure.
SKIN TIGHTENING RECOVERY ANDAFTERCARE
The treated skin may appear red, and there will be some swelling and irritation. These symptoms subside in a few days. Every patient needs to minimize their UV exposure following their Skin Tightening appointment and apply sun protection regularly.
Skin Rejuvenation with New Technologies
There are countless wrinkle creams and related products on the market today. When you have used everything and not seen the results you want, what can you do next? The EVOKE System is designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, and enlarged pores. By using this innovative technology, you will be able to treat cosmetic issues without any major side effects.
How Do Treatments Work?
The EVOKE uses technology to deliver a deep reach to heal all damaged tissues below the surface of the skin. Our device targets prominent lines and deep set wrinkles, giving you a youthful look. The laser energy found in this system activates the body’s collagen and elastin production abilities, creating new skin cells. Like our other systems, EVOKE will not cause permanent damage to your skin.
What Can You Expect During Your Skin Rejuvenation?
For your convenience, EVOKE System procedures are designed to fit your busy schedule. These treatments only take about 15 minutes to complete. Please note that some skin types will require several stations to achieve the best results.
Most patients experience very few side effects, which can include slight discomfort during the process and a sunburn-like sensation after treatments. In just a few days, your skin should return to normal. It is important to follow a good skin care routine to ensure your results last.
What Is Skin Tightening?
Skin tightening is a minimally invasive, non-surgical process that uses an infrared light source (a laser) to tighten skin by heating the collagen under the skin’s surface, causing the skin to contract (tighten). Facial skin tightening is noticeable immediately after the treatment, and there is no downtime, making this an increasingly popular procedure. Additional skin tightening occurs over the next few months, but optimal results usually require two or three treatments about a month apart. Skin tightening is an FDA approved method for the reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. While skin tightening results may not be as dramatic as those of a face lift, patients enjoy moderate results with no downtime. An added benefit of laser skin tightening is that it is safe and effective for restoring a more firm, youthful appearance to skin all over the body. Read on to learn more about the benefits of laser skin tightening treatment.
Skin tightening treatment also encourages the growth of new collagen in the treated areas and promotes the absorption of more collagen from surrounding, untreated areas. With the regeneration of natural collagen, laser skin tightening patients immediately begin to notice smoother, softer skin and a more youthful appearance. The effects continue to improve over the next few months following laser skin tightening treatment, as the skin’s natural stores of collagen are gradually replenished.
What to Expect During a Skin Tightening Session
Before a skin tightening treatment session, it is important for a patient to remove all make-up, oils, sunscreens, and any other substances that may be on the skin. Then, the laser skin tightening practitioner will supply the patient with protective eyewear. Because of the non-ablative nature of laser skin tightening treatment, no further anesthetic should be needed, though patients who have a particularly low tolerance for discomfort may wish to take an over-the-counter pain medication prior to treatment.
Skin tightening takes place in the office of a highly trained professional. During a skin tightening treatment session, the practitioner uses a handpiece to apply brief pulses of laser energy to the skin. Most skin tightening systems require the practitioner to go over the treatment area three times for optimal results. Sessions normally last 15 minutes, depending on the size and location of the area to be treated.
After a skin tightening treatment, patients are able to return immediately to work or other regular activities. Side effects are minimal, and may include a warm sensation to the skin, redness, or minor swelling. Side effects of a skin tightening treatment usually resolve themselves naturally within a few hours.
Is Skin Tightening Treatment Painful?
Skin tightening treatment should not be painful. Most patients who undergo skin tightening treatment experience only minor discomfort in the form of a heating sensation.
It is also fairly common for patients to experience a mild stinging sensation from the laser, which is most commonly compared to the sensation of a rubber band being snapped against the skin. Any discomfort encountered by patients during a laser skin tightening session should resolve itself within minutes of the treatment session, though patients may feel some warmth in the treated skin for up to 48 hours after treatment.
Skin Tightening Candidates
Many people notice signs of aging when skin begins to sag around the face and neck. Skin tightening is appropriate for men and women of all skin types and skin tones who wish to achieve dramatic results without painful surgery and lengthy recovery times.
The most successful skin tightening candidates experience permanent results as the collagen under their skin is regenerated, producing a more youthful complexion. Skin tightening is a safe, effective way to lessen the effects of time. Using advanced laser technology, the collagen beneath the surface of the skin is heated, causing it to constrict, thus tightening loose facial skin and giving the appearance of firm, youthful skin with less fine lines and wrinkles.
Ideal Skin Tightening Candidates
Men and women between ages 30 and 60 are ideal candidates for laser skin tightening procedures. As long as you’re in good health, skin tightening can repair loose facial skin and reduce wrinkles and fine lines all over the body. Patients with extreme skin laxity might consider combining another surgery, such as a face lift, with skin tightening to remove excess skin while diminishing surface wrinkles and rejuvenating the firmness of their healthy complexions. Skin tightening is an effective, minimally invasive option for people of all skin types and skin tones.
