Our Gold Laser Face Tightening treatment is perfect for those wanting to maintain or reduce the signs of aging by tightening the skin. Heat is delivered from the inside out, targeting collagen and elastin, restoring firmness, and improving the skin’s tone and texture – including the forehead, cheeks, nasal labial folds, jawline, and submental area under the chin.
Get The Fact
This unique treatment targets the full face with specific laser wavelengths in a series of steps. The treatment starts by targeting the mucosa inside of the mouth – the energy from the laser shrinks the elastin fibers to help tighten the tissue. This also stimulates collagen synthesis to improve the appearance of nasolabial folds. Secondly, targeted laser energy set at a specific depth and temperature heats the lower part of the face to further stimulate collagen for a tighter appearance throughout the jawline and submental area. The final wavelength is going to assist with superficial tightening, laxity, and crepy skin texture over the entire face. This causes mild sloughing of the outermost layer of the skin to reveal fresher, smoother skin.

The majority of clients find the treatment quite comfortable. You will feel warmth mostly and a minor snapping sensation. This treatment is so comfortable that it doesn’t even require topical numbing prior.
Collagen can take 9-12 months to regenerate in the skin, by stimulating your natural collagen synthesis we won’t expect peak results until after this time. Some skin responds slower or can be non-responsive at all.
Your skin can be red, swollen, and warm after treatment and will resolve within a couple days. You may experience a delayed sloughing of dry skin as you heal.
