Laser Skin Resurfacing & Tightening
Newport Beach

Fractional CO2 laser is an incredibly versatile solution for aged or sun-damaged skin that is wrinkled, lax, or sagging. By carefully removing the very thin outermost layer of the skin and focusing laser energy on water molecules within the skin, CO2 laser skin tightening reduces the appearance of wrinkles and tightens the skin.

One of the primary causes of this loose or lax skin is its loss over time of two key natural components: collagen and elastin. The thermal energy produced in laser skin tightening stimulates your body to redouble its natural efforts in producing more collagen and elastin faster, leaving your skin tighter, healthier, and more youthful.

Because this process of collagen and elastin production is a natural one, over time following your laser skin tightening treatments, your skin will begin to look more taut and more youthful.

CO2 laser skin tightening may be used in almost all areas of lax skin across the face, neck, and body, or in targeted areas such as the upper and lower eyelids.

When you arrive, your skin will be treated with a topical anesthetic for your comfort, and your eyes will be protected from the laser. The laser will then be applied to each of the targeted areas, working its magic to restore your skin so it is fresh, glowing, and youthful. The procedure can take from 30 minutes to two hours, depending on the number of areas being treated at one time.

Your skin will likely feel sunburned for the next day or two, and it’s best if you rest for at least one or two days after the procedure. You will need to avoid makeup and direct sunlight for one to two weeks, and optimal results will appear within three to six weeks of your treatment. Additional treatments may be needed in some cases.
