Skin Laxity Treatment with Cynosure Elite iQ

Skin Laxity Treatment with Cynosure Elite iQ Laser

As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity and firmness, leading to the development of skin laxity, which can result in sagging or loose skin, particularly around the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs. Factors like sun exposure, genetics, weight fluctuations, and collagen depletion contribute to skin laxity, leaving many people seeking effective solutions to tighten and lift their skin.

Cynosure Elite iQ Laser offers a non-invasive, advanced treatment for skin laxity, helping to restore tighter, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. The Elite iQ combines cutting-edge laser technology with a personalized treatment approach to address skin laxity concerns across various areas of the body.

How Does Skin Laxity Treatment with Cynosure Elite iQ Work?

The Cynosure Elite iQ uses a dual-wavelength system—755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd lasers—to provide a comprehensive approach to skin tightening. These lasers work in different ways to rejuvenate and improve the appearance of lax skin.

Targeting Collagen Production: The 1064nm Nd laser penetrates deep into the dermis, stimulating the skin's fibroblasts, which are responsible for producing collagen and elastin. Collagen is a critical protein that gives the skin its strength and structure, while elastin provides elasticity. As we age, collagen production slows down, leading to sagging skin. The Elite iQ laser stimulates collagen production, helping to tighten and firm the skin over time.
Improving Skin Texture and Firmness: The laser energy delivered by the Cynosure Elite iQ also promotes overall skin rejuvenation, improving both the texture and tone of the skin. As the skin responds to the heat from the laser, it works to build new collagen fibers and repair damaged tissues, resulting in smoother, firmer skin.
Safe and Precise Treatment: The 755nm Alexandrite laser targets the superficial layers of the skin, improving texture and tone while working synergistically with the deeper 1064nm Nd

laser for overall tightening and lifting. The system uses the Skintel® Melanin Reader, a unique technology that customizes each treatment to your skin type, ensuring that the procedure is safe, effective, and tailored to your individual needs.

Benefits of Skin Laxity Treatment with Cynosure Elite iQ

Non-invasive: Unlike surgical procedures such as facelifts or tummy tucks, Elite iQ provides a non-invasive way to treat skin laxity. There are no incisions or downtime, and the treatment is completely safe.
Effective Skin Tightening: The Elite iQ laser can target both superficial and deep layers of the skin, promoting collagen regeneration and resulting in tighter, firmer skin.
Improvement of Skin Tone and Texture: Not only does the treatment address sagging, but it also improves the overall texture and tone of the skin, leaving it smoother and more youthful in appearance.
Minimal Discomfort and Downtime: Most patients experience only mild warmth or a slight “snapping” sensation during the procedure, and there is minimal downtime afterward. You can typically return to your regular activities right away.
Customizable Treatment: The Elite iQ laser can be adjusted for your specific skin type and concerns. Whether you're treating mild laxity or more significant sagging, the treatment can be customized to suit your unique needs.

Areas Treated with Skin Laxity Treatment

The Cynosure Elite iQ is versatile and can treat skin laxity on various parts of the body, including:

Face: Lax skin around the jawline, cheeks, and eyes can be treated to lift and tighten the skin.
Neck and Décolletage: Many people experience sagging skin in the neck area as they age. Elite iQ can help tighten loose skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Arms: For those who struggle with "bat wings" or loose skin under the arms, the laser can help tighten and firm this area.
Abdomen and Flanks: Post-pregnancy, weight loss, or aging can cause the skin to lose its firmness around the stomach and sides. Elite iQ can help to tighten and smooth these areas.
Thighs: If you have loose skin on your thighs, the Elite iQ can treat this area to help firm and tighten the skin.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

During the Treatment

The treatment is typically quick and comfortable, lasting around 20-30 minutes depending on the treatment area. A cooling device may be used to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. Most patients describe the sensation as a slight warming or light snapping feeling, but it is generally well-tolerated.

After the Treatment

Immediate Results: Some patients report feeling tighter skin immediately after the procedure, though full results will develop over the course of a few weeks as collagen production increases.
No Downtime: There is minimal downtime, so you can resume most daily activities right after the treatment. Any redness or slight swelling typically subsides within a few hours to a day.
Gradual Improvement: Skin tightening and rejuvenation continue to improve over time as new collagen forms, with optimal results visible within 3-6 months after treatment.

Follow-up Treatments

For best results, multiple treatments may be required depending on the severity of skin laxity and the area being treated. Sessions are typically spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Your provider at Skinfidelity will create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve the desired level of skin tightening.
