Body Skin Tightening

Even with minimal sun exposure and a healthy lifestyle, areas of the body begin to lose their firmness and youthful look over time. Skin laxity can be caused by many factors including aging, pregnancy, or weight loss. By delivering specific wavelengths of energy with a laser to heat the skin, we can induce skin tightening and rejuvenation for a smoother, more contoured look.

Get The Facts

Over time, our skin loses its ability to produce elastin and collagen, which contributes to your skin’s elasticity and firmness. By using a dual wavelength laser, our Body Skin Tightening treatment stimulates collagen remodeling and tightens the elastin fibers for a smoother, more contoured look. Popular areas addressed are the upper arms and abdomen. The treatment is quite comfortable and feels like warmth under the sun.
