Effective Skin Tightening Modalities at Complete Laser Clinic

Dr. Hamel's viewpoint:

There are multiple ways of improving skin tone, texture, and tightening.

Anytime there is a thermal injury to the skin this will cause fibroblast proliferation and collagen / elastin production and contraction of skin tissue in the dermis and sub dermis.  

Controlled thermal injury can be in  the form of uni/bi polar radio frequency, CO2 fractional resurfacing, Erbium fractional resurfacing, or deep chemical peels.

The amount of skin tightening corresponds to the depth and strength of the controlled thermal injury.

2. Accent - Radio Frequency skin tightening using unipolar and bipolar modalities to heat the water in the skin like bacon in a microwave.  This causes a thermal reaction which shrinks adipocites and causes new collagen bundle growth and improved elasticity.
