Guide To Sagging Skin Treatment

Laser Therapy

In some cases, patients with sagging skin may want to try laser therapy. This therapy should help tighten the skin to some degree. Some experts claim that laser therapy does not need as much recovery time as a brow lift. In a procedure, the dermatologist will place a laser over the treatment site. This laser is supposed to heat the collagen under the skin. If it does so, the skin may tighten immediately. However, patients may require a few sessions to see any results. This can be one session a month for a few months. Each session varies in length and can be between thirty to sixty minutes. A topical anesthetic may help reduce a patient's discomfort during laser therapy.

In some cases, patients may need laser resurfacing. This is an invasive version of laser therapy. Patients who choose this option may need seven days of recovery afterward. Unlike laser skin tightening, this laser therapy can come with some side effects. Dermatologists should recommend the appropriate option for each patient.
