Chicago Laser Skin Tightening

Adult women and men of all ages are learning about laser skin tightening as an antidote to wrinkles and flab. As tissue ages, it loses its elasticity due to collagen breakdown. This loosening can cause a worn, fatigued, flabby or dull aspect in the face, arms or stomach. Skin tightening is a nonsurgical medical treatment that temporarily halts or reverses this process. It has been proven safe and effective, although results vary from person to person.

In Wicker Park and Greater Chicago, Laser Skin Tightening Is a Popular Cosmetic Fix

This cosmetic procedure is performed by a certified medical laser technician or esthetician with specific training in the process. She will first cleanse the epidermis with a microsonic treatment. Then a radiofrequency application stimulates new collagen growth in the dermis. Finally, the new and existing collagen are blended with more laser therapy, to fill in internal folds or gaps. The dermis is cooled as needed between the treatments.

Loose skin areas, such as sagging upper arms or dimpled stomach tissue, can realize immediate firming in a one-hour session. Anywhere from three to five follow-up tightening treatments will be recommended by the practitioner. Unlike conventional plastic surgery, this minimally invasive procedure doesn't require special restrictions on work and home activity after its completion. It is one of several rejuvenating options that include cosmetic fillers and chemical peels. A qualified esthetician can suggest which is best for each patient's skin condition.
