Our innovative treatments offer a comfortable and effective way to enhance your body’s natural contours. From Laser Skin Tightening to the innovative EmSculpt NEO, there’s something to suit your needs. But what are these treatments, and how can they help you with your body goals? Let’s look deeper and find out about your skin tightening options.

Understanding Laser Skin Tightening

What are the benefits of Laser Skin Tightening for the abdomen?

Laser Skin Tightening is a non-surgical procedure that uses a laser to stimulate collagen production. The outcome is firmer, more youthful skin with less sagging and improved skin elasticity. Benefits will include but are not limited to:

  • Non-invasive: No incisions means shorter recovery times after the treatment
  • Short course: One session takes only around 30-60 minutes.
  • Minimal post-procedure downtime: You are instantly able to return to work.
  • Long-term results: Results can last for several years with proper maintenance.

How does Laser Skin Tightening work to firm and tone the skin?

The targeted laser energy heats the deeper dermal layer of the skin, the collagen fibers, thereby stimulating new collagen production. Over time, this tightens and firms the skin. The heat also initiates a healing response, improving skin texture and tone.

Does Laser Skin Tightening hurt?

Most patients describe it as a warm sun-like feeling on your skin. Comfort levels vary, but most can tolerate the procedure without anesthesia. If desired, topical anesthetics can be used for your comfort.

How many Laser Skin Tightening treatments will I need before I can expect noticeable results?

Many people notice a difference after just one treatment. However, for the best results, your provider may recommend a series of three to five treatments spaced about three weeks apart. The exact number of treatments will depend on your skin type and desired outcome. We recommend working with your GraceMed skin care professional to develop an approach suited to your needs.

Are There Any Side Effects or Down Time to Laser Skin Tightening?

Side effects are generally mild and short-lived, often involving temporary redness or swelling. The minimal downtime makes these treatments convenient for those with busy lifestyles, allowing you to get back to your daily routine quickly.

Is Laser Skin Tightening combinable with other treatments, such as CoolSculpting?

Combining treatments like Laser Skin Tightening with CoolSculpting® can enhance results. Laser skin tightening firms the skin, while CoolSculpting® targets and eliminates fat cells. This combination offers a comprehensive approach to body contouring, with the added benefit of little to no downtime.

 

What are Alternative Skin Tightening Treatments?

EXION® Body

The EXION® Body treatment uses radio and ultrasound energy to achieve superior results. This double-action technology:

  • Targets resistant fat: Eliminates fat cells without surgical intervention.
  • Stimulates collagen: Tightens skin using controlled heat.
  • Multifunctional Application: This can be applied to different areas, such as the stomach.

EmSculpt® NEO

The EmSculpt NEO goes far beyond skin tightening. In one treatment, it can build muscle and burn fat simultaneously. This is a great option for anyone who wants:

  • More Definition: Triggers high-intensity muscle contractions.
  • To Target Fat Cells: Radiofrequency heat destroys fat cells.
  • Entire Body Shaping: Tones and tightens all at once.

CoolSculpting®

CoolSculpting® is a gentle and effective way to reduce fat without surgery. The treatment works by freezing and eliminating fat cells, helping you achieve a more contoured body. It’s perfect for those stubborn areas that won’t budge with diet and exercise. With no downtime, you can get back to your routine right away. Over the next few weeks, you’ll start to see a noticeable difference in your body.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What should I expect during my consultation?

At your consultation, the specialist at your Gracemed clinic will review your goals and skin type to suggest the best course of treatment. They will also address any concerns you may have so you have a clear idea of what’s involved in your plan.

How do I prepare for my skin tightening treatment?

Preparation is minimal. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid the sun before your treatment. Your provider will give you more detailed instructions, which may vary depending on which procedure you have chosen.

How Soon Will I See the Results?

Results will depend on the treatment. Many patients start to see improvements within a few weeks, but optimal results often become more visible after a series of sessions. Your body is working hard to produce collagen and remove fat cells, it is therefore important to give it time for the full effects to be realized.

Are the Results Permanent?

The results can be long-lasting, although some maintenance treatments may be required. A healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, can enhance treatment results.
