Skin Tightening

NaTURALLY FIRM & TIGHTEN SKIN
skin tightening

The Skin Tightening YAG Laser is performed using intense light technology to penetrate the layers of the skin. When the laser heat hits the deeper layers of the skin it causes it to contract, this allows collagen production to be boosted, resulting in the excess collagen to create tighter, firmer skin in the treated areas. This treatment can be used on the body such as the buttock, legs, arms, abdomen, neck, and the face. Central Wellness uses Skin Tightening with YAG Laser to help minimize signs of aging and tightens sagging or loose skin. This helps clients to have smoother, more taut skin while mitigating the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
