Arizona Non-Surgical Skin Tightening

Facial skin tightening has become an increasingly popular non-surgical option for women and men who want to rid themselves of wrinkles, fine lines, double chins and other age-related conditions. Laser skin tightening, sometimes referred to as a non-surgical facelift, can show immediate results and requires no recovery time for the patient.

What to Expect from Facial Skin Tightening Treatments

Preparing for a non-surgical skin tightening procedure begins with a consultation. A doctor or plastic surgeon will take a detailed medical history of the patient to make sure there are no risk factors to consider. Most men and women between the ages of 30 and 60 years old are candidates for facial skin tightening procedures, though women who are pregnant or nursing should avoid this type of facelift until after weaning. Prior to the procedure, patients should remove all makeup, lotions and sunscreens from the facial area.

The certified practitioner will give the patient protective eyewear and begin to pass an infrared ray over the facial features that are labeled as target areas. The procedure is not painful; patients may feel a slight snapping feeling on the face that will dissipate shortly. People who have a low threshold for pain may choose to take an over-the-counter pain reliever as a precautionary measure. A warming sensation may start to permeate the entire facial region as the collagen layer of the dermis begins to heat up. The heated collagen causes the skin to contract and appear smoother.
