Revitalize your skin's youthful appearance with New York City Skin Tightening Services. This Skin Tightening treatment is for sun-damaged or aging skin quickly and conveniently smooths away periorbital wrinkles and acne scars. The treatment involves no downtime with minimal pain. After the New York City Skin Tightening treatment, clients can immediately return to work or go to dinner without anyone knowing they’ve just received a treatment.

Our skin consists of three layers, the outer layer (epidermis), and the inner layers (dermis) and (sub-cutaneous). The main structural element of the dermis is a protein called collagen. This protein provides the skin its strength. As we get older, we tend to produce less collagen and this eventually leads to wrinkles, fine lines and bags in the skin.

This New York City Skin Tightening procedure is non-invasive and causes the existing collagen in the deeper layers of the skin to tighten, which leads to improved facial contours and healthier collagen. With its new revolutionary technology, Tightening is able to improve your appearance of the skin and enhances the contours of your body by reshaping your skin's innermost structures. This leads to healthier, younger looking skin.

The Procedure
The Laser heats the collagen to specific temperatures creating a natural biological reaction that causes the collagen to contract and thicken. The result is the beginning of tighter, smoother skin.

In addition to the initial thickening of collagen, the body responds in another way to the heating of the deeper tissue in the body. When the skin is wounded, its natural response is to heal the wound by creating new collagen. This creation of new collagen works with the immediate tightening of the skin and adds to long term effects.  The proceedure can be performed on the face or any other part of the body such as the decolte, hands, arms, abdomen, legs and more.

Will It Hurt?
Tightening is a non-invasive procedure so it requires no incisions and no recovery time. Some patients do experience mild redness of the skin directly after the procedure but it usually fades quickly. Clients might also experience some mild swelling. This usually subsides 2 to 3 days after the procedure, but some last longer. The longer the swelling persists, however, the better your results will be. Swelling only indicates that the collagen is still thickening.

What Are The Results?
The full effects of the Tightening treatment appear gradually. It can take 2 to 6 months for full results, although some patients do see them sooner. Full results have been known to last for up to 6 months, but recent studies have shown that some thermal collagen modifications have lasted up to several years, depending on the rate of the patients aging process. Tightening is the best non-invasive treatment for reducing the signs of aging and enhancing a more youthful appearance.
