YAG Skin Tightening Aftercare

Yag Laser heats the deep dermis of the skin, which heat shrinks collagen causing skin to tighten up and gives you younger looking skin. It is suitable for full face or partial face or neck areas.

Collagen production takes 6-8 weeks to be produced, so results are gradual. Results should not usually be expected sooner than this.
3 treatments are normally recommended. Some clients may require 6 sessions for extra tightening. Intervals between treatments are 4 weeks
Using Vitamin C serum daily at home (L Ascorbic Acid) helps to build collagen for optimum results.
