Part of the appeal of this procedure is that it is safe, comfortable, and requires no downtime. There is no need for anesthesia, but some patients may choose to have a numbing crème applied for improved comfort. During the procedure, a hand piece is guided over the treatment area, delivering heat to the deeper layers of the skin; the surface is simultaneously cooled for protection and comfort.
Some patients experience mild redness following their procedure, but this typically fades within a few hours. Although some patients experience immediate tightening, most see results emerge between several weeks and 6 months as the new collagen grows. Some patients will benefit from a series of treatments spaced at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks. Dr. Ptito and her staff will work with you to determine the best approach for your skin tightening goals.
