Effective Laser Treatments in Cosmetic Surgery
How Does Laser Skin Tightening Work?
Laser skin tightening is an advanced procedure typically only provided by a licensed and qualified surgical professional or therapist. For just over a decade now, lasers have been trialled and tested within the cosmetic field, with early features relating to the treatment of unwanted body and facial hair. These days however, and thanks to the advances in the field, lasers can even be used to help with the tightening of skin to provide a smoother, more youthful complexion.
How do laser treatments work?
Although the machines that utilise laser beams might differ depending on their manufacturing process and brand, the way in which they work can be fairly similar. In the majority of cases, a beam will be emitted up to a certain strength and in a way that allows control of the focus and yield. By modifying this strength it can be possible to reach down into specific layers of the dermal surface; with different levels of heat affecting the skin in varying ways.
How can lasers be used for tightening purposes?
When exposed to certain levels of heat, the dermal layers and skin cells can be forced to react in particular ways. For example, when exposed to heats of more than 450 degrees Celsius, skin cells can begin to lose their hydration and die. As hydration is well known to plump out cells on an atomic scale, the larger mass can be much heavier; which can lead to sagging and wrinkles forming.
Without the weight of the water within each cell taking its toll, it can be possible to ‘tighten’ skin. Without the presence of liquids, each cell will be much smaller in shape, allowing the surrounding dermal layers to shrink and resulting in a tighter, leaner appearance to one’s complexion that can shed years off of their appearance.
Is it dangerous?
Although the effects of lasers can take a hefty toll on skin cells over time, using this technique to tighten skin every so often doesn’t pose much of a risk at all. This is because of the natural ability of cells to replenish their shape and over time, hydration will make its way back into their structure. Furthermore, and because of the cell’s ability to replenish, the long term effects of lasers can be minimal – made even more appealing by the fact that the strength of the laser can be controlled in a way that won’t take a permanent toll on the dermal layers.
When practiced by an expert, the potential for laser tightening treatments to offer incredible results can be very appealing to many, which has been demonstrated in the fact that this type of service has experienced a rapid increase to its popularity over just the last few years alone.
