Laser Skin Tightening Toronto


Fractional Laser Tightening is a revolutionary technology to achieve non-surgical skin tightening with minimal pain, no down time. It smooths wrinkles and tightens loose skin using light energy to stimulate new collagen growth deep beneath skin's surface. At Q Esthetics Laser Clinic, we have yielded excellent results in our practice with the award winning system Palomar Starlux 500.

Large amount of collagen exists in the dermis. Collagen fibers are responsible for maintaining the strength and resilience of skin. As we age, the collagen fibers start to break down and the dermis gets thinner, bringing visible wrinkles and sagging.

A six month prospective study (published in Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 2007) suggests that Fractional IR is an effective modality for tightening lax skin. The Palomar LuxDeepIR Fractional™ handpiece delivers infrared light deep into the dermis (up to 6mm). This light causes Soft Tissue Coagulation which leads to remodeling of the collagen within the dermis and hypodermis. The remodeled collagen fills in wrinkles and sagging, thereby reducing skin laxity. In general, once stimulated, the new collagen may last years, hence the prolonged results with the treatments.

What makes Palomar LuxDeepIR different from other skin tightening techniques?

Developed through pioneering research in deep heating, with patented approach to fractional delivery, and other proprietary technologies in cooling, timing and spectrum, Palomar LuxDeepIR Handpiece safely delivers more effective heat to greater depths for superior skin tightening.

What should I expect during and after laser tightening treatment?

You may experience lingering warmth, tightness, or redness in the treated area, which fades within a few hours of treatment. Generally, you can receive a treatment and go back to work or to other activities without any recovery time.

A series of 3-5 treatments at 4-6 week intervals may be required to achieve the desired result of smoother, tighter skin in the face, arms, abdomen, and other areas. Results are immediate and progressive. Optimal improvement is usually visible in about 2 to 3 months.
