Addressing Skin Laxity and Tissue Firmness
As the skin ages, the natural production of collagen and elastin begins to slow. This biological shift often results in a loss of structural integrity, leading to visible sagging or “crepey” texture.
For many patients, these changes are most noticeable in the lower face, neck, and jawline. If you are noticing significant age-related volume loss, combining skin tightening with other restorative modalities can provide a more comprehensive rejuvenation.
THE CLINICAL SOLUTION
Advanced Neocollagenesis via Fotona Technology
Our Regina facility utilizes the Fotona laser system to deliver controlled thermal energy into the deeper layers of the dermis. This process triggers a natural healing response known as neocollagenesis, which progressively firms and tightens the treated tissue.
While skin tightening focuses on deep structural firming, patients looking to address surface-level imperfections such as fine lines or sun damage may benefit from comprehensive laser skin resurfacing during a separate session to refine the skin’s outer texture.
Clinical Therapeutic Effects
Collagen Contraction
Immediate tightening of the skin’s structural proteins.
Neocollagenesis
Stimulating long-term dermal thickness and resilience.
Submental Refinement
Improving the definition of the jawline and neck.
Non-Ablative Delivery
Achieving results while leaving the epidermis fully intact.
COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES
Targeted Jawline Contouring
For patients specifically concerned with the submental area, laser skin tightening is often an ideal follow-up to fat reduction treatments. Improving the definition of the jawline can be achieved by pairing tissue firming with fat dissolving injections to address localized stubborn fullness.
This dual-action approach ensures that as volume is reduced, the overlying skin remains taut and youthful in appearance.
Clinical Inquiries
Common Questions Regarding Laser Skin Tightening
Most patients describe the sensation as a gradual, deep warming of the skin. Our practitioners use real-time thermal monitoring to ensure the tissue reaches the therapeutic temperature comfortably and safely. No anesthesia is typically required.
While some immediate contraction is often visible, structural tissue remodeling is a biological process. We generally recommend a series of three to five treatments spaced four weeks apart to achieve significant improvement in skin tension.
As a non-ablative procedure, there is minimal clinical downtime. You may observe mild redness or slight swelling immediately following the session (similar to the feeling of a warm flush) which typically resolves within a few hours.
Laser Skin Tightening provides significant non-surgical improvement for mild to moderate laxity. It is an excellent clinical option for those looking to manage aging without the risks or recovery time associated with invasive surgery.
