Minimally Invasive Laser Techniques for Loose & Wrinkled Skin in Midland, TX

The primary culprit for causing loose and wrinkled skin is aging, with everyone developing fine lines, wrinkles, and other creases in their skin at some point throughout their adulthood that will only continue to develop and deepen unless cosmetic interventions are taken. There are several factors that can contribute to the development of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin as they just encourage the skin to age at an even faster rate.

These factors include:

Damage done to the skin from UV rays due to insufficient protection of the skin from direct sunlight, or frequently using tanning beds.
Frequent and long-term smoking.
Repetitive movements of facial muscles.

All of these factors, including aging in general, lead to decreased elasticity and volume in the skin, which results in the formation of wrinkles and allows the skin to continue to lose structure, making it appear to be saggy and loose.

Laser resurfacing treatments are one of the most effective non-surgical skin-tightening procedures available, effectively reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and loose skin in just a few sessions. There are many different laser treatment options available that can be used to target specific skin concerns, but all of which will provide beautiful, anti-aging results. It works so well for skin tightening due to the efficacy of the lasers to target the collagen that is located within the deep layers of the skin, heating up the collagen within that area and causing it to constrict. This constriction of the collagen directly translates to the surface of the skin appearing to be tighter, firmer, and smoother.

The total number of laser skin tightening sessions that are needed will vary a bit from patient to patient depending on how their skin responds to the treatments and the severity of the laxity and wrinkling in the skin. Patients will often receive anywhere from 3 to 6 sessions total before they are able to achieve their final desired results, with each session being spaced around 2 to 4 weeks apart. It is common for patients to be able to achieve visible, beautiful results even after just one session, but multiple sessions will help to prolong the results for much longer. Patients should be aware that while some results can start to develop fairly quickly, they will continue to improve due to the new production of collagen and elastin, which will likely take around 6 months following the final treatment. This means that the final results will most likely not be visible until about 6 months after the initial sessions have been completed. At this time, patients can decide with their laser resurfacing treatment provider whether any more sessions are required to achieve even more dramatic results, or if the patient will only need to occasionally come in for maintenance sessions.

Around 80 to 90% of patients who receive laser skin tightening treatments will find significant success in reducing the appearance of their loose and/or wrinkled skin. There are several different laser skin tightening options available, so it will be up to you and your skin care specialist to determine which course of treatment will be best suited to your specific needs. Laser skin treatments have been around for a while, with constant research being done in this area to continue advancing the technology. Laser skin tightening treatments are at the point now where there are some very effective treatment options available that are very safe for most patients. If your skin care specialist deems you to be a good fit, and a suitable candidate for the treatment, you will be able to enjoy beautiful results from your treatments.
