Skin Tightening
Laser skin tightening harnesses the power of light energy to eliminate old, damaged skin and allow your body to generate a fresh, new replacement. Beams of focused laser light apply controlled heat to your skin in a process known as ablation. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process, leading to new tissue growth and collagen production. The end result is a tight, glowing, youthful complexion.
