Laser Skin Tightening for a Healthier Appearance
As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and develops wrinkles and fine lines. Laser skin tightening is an amazing new technology that restores your skin, and you can find it in the Sarasota area at Bradenton Dermatology & Laser Center.
Laser skin tightening is a noninvasive procedure that helps you achieve healthier, younger-looking skin by boosting your body's collagen production. The laser's light energy penetrates the deep layers of your skin and triggers collagen production. Collagen is the substance that gives skin its elasticity, and this state-of-the-art treatment causes the tissues to become plumper and smoother.
At Bradenton Dermatology & Laser Center, we have more than 40 years of experience in cosmetic procedures, and you'll meet with a team that wants to help you reach your goals. We'll examine your skin, assess its condition, and formulate a plan with enough sessions to achieve the results you want. Some patients are able to get great results in only one treatment!
Laser skin tightening has no recovery period or downtime, and the results last a long time. To learn more about tightening your skin with laser therapy, call Bradenton Dermatology & Laser Center to book an appointment.
