About Skin Tightening
Skin tightening is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses laser energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin. This can lead to firmer, tighter skin, with fewer fine lines and wrinkles.
Frequently Asked Questions FAQ's
How does skin tightening work?
Skin tightening procedures aim to alleviate wrinkles and sagging associated with lax skin on the face and body. They do this by stimulating the growth of two important proteins in your skin: collagen and elastin.
Collagen is a fibrous protein in your connective tissues that keeps your skin firm and strong. Elastin is a protein that keeps your skin tight and elastic. The average person loses collagen and elastin as they age, but other factors can contribute to loose or sagging skin too.
Tural Aesthetics and Weight Management uses laser treatments to tighten your skin in targeted areas. Lasers heat your collagen and elastin to promote their growth. There are several different types of lasers used for skin tightening purposes, and the team informs you of your options during your consultation.
Who can benefit from skin tightening?

You can use laser skin tightening to accomplish a variety of goals, including:
