NEW SKIN TIGHTENING PROCEDURE FIGHTS WRINKLES AND PROVIDES YOUNGER LOOKING SKIN WITHOUT SURGERY

New Study Shows Laser Technology May Be The Most Effective Way To Tighten Skin

Story Summary:

Nearly 12 million cosmetic procedures were performed last year. Of those 12 million, more than eighty percent were non-surgical. These days, wrinkles and sagging skin doesn't mean going under the knife. Now, the hottest trend "skin tightening" uses lasers to heat the underlying layers of skin and forms new collagen. The result? Smooth, younger-looking skin without having to go under the knife like a traditional facelift.

Current treatments for skin tightening on the market today, including the use of radio frequency have some drawbacks. The process is often painful, expensive and has side effects resulting in areas of skin depression. Now a new study presented at the American Society For Laser Medicine And Surgery gave a glimpse of the next generation of skin tightening treatment - with Candela's GentleYAG laser--which is already commonly used to permanently remove unwanted hair, leg and facial veins.
