Skin Tightening Q&A


What is skin tightening?

Skin tightening refers to treatments that help lift and strengthen sagging skin in areas like your cheeks, jowls, and neck. These treatments help your tissues increase collagen and elastin production. These two proteins are the primary ways your skin retains strength and resiliency. As you age, your production of collagen and elastin slows. 

 

Skin tightening treatments at Cascade Medspa & Laser Centre are noninvasive, meaning no incisions, blood loss, or stitches. They require minimal downtime, too.

Who is a candidate for skin tightening?

If you’re bothered by skin that droops, sags, or is wrinkled and lined, you are a candidate for skin tightening. Your provider customizes and combines treatments that work best for your particular skin complaints.

What skin tightening treatments do you offer?

You benefit from a variety of skin tightening treatments offered at Cascade Medspa & Laser Centre, including:

Chemical peels

Chemical peels involve applying compounds to your skin to encourage a “peeling” off of your outer layer of skin. The new skin beneath is tighter and fresher looking than the dull, old skin you leave behind. 

Dermablade

Dermablading manually removes surface debris, increasing the absorption of topical products and diminishing the look of lines and wrinkles. 

Diamond Glow® Dermalinfusion

Diamond Glow Dermalinfusion combines exfoliation, extraction, and infusion of condition-specific serums to improve skin health, function, and appearance.

Halo®

Halo uses laser energy to lift and smooth your skin. It’s like a nonsurgical facelift that leaves you with a youthful glow. 

IPL/BBL

Intense pulsed light (IPL) and Broadband light (BBL) are technologies that use high-energy pulses of light to stimulate collagen production and correct an uneven skin tone. 

Profractional laser

Profractional laser therapy is an advanced, intense laser treatment that encourages the remodeling of collagen to lift sagging skin and give you a more youthful appearance. 

Laser trifecta

The laser trifecta treatment combines Forever Young BBL™, Microlaser peel, and profractional laser resurfacing in just one treatment. The trifecta improves skin texture, stimulates collagen production, and evens discoloration. 

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is an effective exfoliating treatment that sloughs off dull outer layers of your skin to reveal fresh, taut tissue beneath. 

MicroLaserPeel®

A MicroLaserPeel uses laser energy to remove your outermost layer of dull and damaged skin to reveal a more youthful appearance. 

Microneedling

Microneedling uses a device affixed with tiny needles to make tiny wounds in your skin to trigger a healing response. Collagen production increases, and lax skin tightens up. For even greater results, ask about microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and injections.
