Laser Skin Tightening in London

Laser Skin Tightening is a non-surgical face lift. At the Premier Laser Clinic we have selected Candela GentleYAG laser technology which helps to create firmer tighter skin with minimual discomfort.

 

The Candela GentleYAG laser "tightens" by heating the underlying layers in the skin and forming new collagen resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin. The GentleYAG's patented epidermal cooling system, the Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD(TM)), protects the skin surface with every laser pulse allowing for quick results and patient comfort. Only the skin beneath the surface is affected by the laser. The final result is firmer skin, more defined facial contours and a more youthful appearance.

 

The GentleYag can be used with no medication at all and discomfort levels are compared to that of a rubber band snapped against the skin.

Laser Skin Tightening provides multiple benefits, Your laser skin tightening treatment will

• tighten your skin
• decreases fine lines
• provide a smoother texture
• decrease pore size

How GentleYag Tightens Skin

Surface and topical products cannot induce collagen formation for true tightening of sagging or drooping skin as laser treatments can. Laser treatments result in skin tightening when subsurface heat is created in the collagen-rich dermal layer.

 

Once the collagen in the skin is heated to a temperature above 60 degrees centigrade, it will contract and tighten. Aging collagen strands are looser and more sparse than "young" collagen. Your laser skin tightening treatment causes an immediate tightening as well as improved tone and texture. New collagen growth will continue for four to six months post treatment.

 

With Laser Skin Tightening, a series of 4 to 6 treatments approximately a month apart are recommended for optimum results. Maximum results are seen about 90 days after the last treatment.

Sun damaged Skin: Rejuvenation and resurfacing of the skin as a result of sun damage and can be corrected and dramatically improved with compliance to the treatment regime and refraining from intense sun exposure. Skin damaged by the sun is treated by IPL to stimulate the healing and regenerative properties of collagen and elastin below the skin surface.

 

Facial Redness, flushing or a condition known as Rosacea can be treated effectively by IPL and the YAG treatment head. The redness is significantly reduced or ceased leaving you with a face that you want to show with embarrassment.

 

Rosacea: Broken veins or capillaries on the skin surface or just below can cause embarrassment and require camouflage makeup. Our range of treatments can be used to break down the vessel walls and reduce the visible effect of the blemishes on the skin surface. The IPL treatment can be used on all areas of the body where broken vein, thread veins and capillary redness are visible and problematic.

 

Age Spots & Melasma: Brown age spots or discoloured skin pigmentation can be reduced to reveal a younger more even skin tone to improve your visual image and confidence.

 

Hyper or Hypo Pigmentation: as a result of various causes can be reduced and corrected by using IPL in combination with other dermatological products if required.

 

Freckles: Can be significantly reduced and a clearer complexion revealed.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation in London - Freqently Asked Questions

What is Laser Skin Tightening? Laser Skin Tightening is a series of laser treatments, using the Candela GentleYAG laser, designed to stimulate dermal collagen production and regeneration of damaged skin cells. The single-wavelength light energy produced by the GentleYAG targets fibroblasts in the dermis, which produce new collagen in response to laser energy. Increased turnover of skin cells is also stimulated, helping to regenerate and replace damaged cells.

How long will it take me to recover from the treatment? There is no downtime or external injury to the skin. A person can return to work or reapply makeup immediately following the procedure. The full face and neck can be treated in just one hour.

How long will the results last? The new dermal collagen that is produced becomes part of the structure of the treated skin, and thus Laser Skin Tightening can produce improvements in skin which lasts for years. GentleYAG skin tightening is so powerful that new collagen production can continue several months after the treatment. Most people report improvement immediately, with even more dramatic results weeks later. New collagen growth results in continued skin tightening and the development of a more youthful complexion with fewer lines, folds, and looseness of the skin. Continued exposure to the damaging ultraviolet rays of the sun will result in breakdown of both existing and new collagen over time, so it is very important to protect your results by limiting sun exposure, using a high-SPF sunblock, and maintaining a healthy and scientifically sound skin care regimen.

Are there other skin tightening laser systems? Other laser systems have been developed that are designed to stimulate dermal collagen production (Titan, Fraxel, etc); however none have been demonstrated to be as effective as the Candela GentleYAG. The GentleYAG has more watts of power than any other skin tightening laser, and is therefore more effective in generating new collagen. Another unique feature of the GentleYAG is the Dynamic Cooling Device (DCDâ„¢) which sprays a cooling agent on the skin before every laser pulse. The DCDâ„¢ protects the outer skin layers during laser treatment and reduces discomfort. No topical numbing agents are required.

Is Laser Skin Tightening effective for both the face and body? Yes. LST can be used to treat any part of the body that may benefit from softer, smoother skin quality, wrinkle reduction, improvement of pore size and texture, or elimination of acne scars. The GentleYAG can provide beautiful firm skin on the face, neck, chest, upper arms, legs and other body areas with no downtime and without the need for potentially dangerous numbing creams.

How many treatments would I have to have? Clinical studies suggest that 4-6 treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart in most cases will produce a significant increase in dermal collagen, remodeling of dermal matrix components, and a resulting improvement in overall skin tone and vitality.
