Skin Tightening

Treating Skin Tightening with Cynosure Elite iQ Laser

As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity and firmness, leading to skin laxity or sagging, especially around the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs. Factors like sun exposure, genetics, weight changes, and collagen loss all contribute to this process, prompting many to seek effective ways to tighten and lift their skin.

Cynosure Elite iQ Laser offers a non-invasive, cutting-edge solution for skin tightening, helping to restore a firmer, more youthful appearance. By combining advanced laser technology with a personalized approach, the Elite iQ effectively addresses skin laxity across multiple areas of the body.

How Does Skin Tightening with Cynosure Elite iQ Work?

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

Stimulating Collagen Production: The 1064nm Nd YAG laser penetrates deep into the dermis, stimulating fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin. These proteins are essential for skin strength and elasticity, and as collagen production slows with age, skin begins to sag. The Elite iQ laser helps to rejuvenate collagen production, resulting in firmer, tighter skin over time.

Improving Skin Texture and Firmness: The laser energy delivered by the Cynosure Elite iQ promotes overall skin rejuvenation, improving texture and tone. The heat from the laser encourages the skin to build new collagen fibers, helping to repair damaged tissue and leaving you with smoother, firmer skin.

Safe and Precise Treatment: The 755nm Alexandrite laser targets the superficial layers of the skin, improving tone and texture, while the 1064nm Nd YAG laser addresses deeper layers for enhanced tightening and lifting. The system also features Skintel® Melanin Reader technology, which customizes each treatment to your skin type, ensuring safety and effectiveness.

Benefits of Skin Tightening with Cynosure Elite iQ

  • Non-invasive: Unlike surgical options like facelifts or tummy tucks, Elite iQ offers a non-invasive treatment with no incisions or downtime, making it a safe and convenient option.

  • Effective Skin Tightening: The laser targets both the superficial and deeper layers of skin, promoting collagen regeneration to deliver tighter, firmer skin.

  • Improves Skin Tone and Texture: Beyond lifting, Elite iQ also helps improve the overall texture and tone of your skin, giving it a smoother, more youthful appearance.

  • Minimal Discomfort and Downtime: Most patients only feel mild warmth or a light “snapping” sensation during treatment, with minimal downtime afterward. You can usually resume your regular activities immediately.

  • Customizable Treatment: The Elite iQ can be tailored to your unique skin type and concerns. Whether you’re dealing with mild laxity or more significant sagging, your treatment will be customized for the best possible results.

Areas Treated with Skin Tightening

The Cynosure Elite iQ can be used to treat skin laxity in various areas of the body, including:

  • Face: Tighten and lift sagging skin around the jawline, cheeks, and eyes.

  • Neck and Décolletage: Reduce wrinkles and tighten loose skin in the neck area.

  • Arms: Improve the appearance of “bat wings” or loose skin under the arms.

  • Abdomen and Flanks: Tighten skin around the stomach and sides, especially after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging.

  • Thighs: Firm up loose skin on the thighs for a smoother look.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

During the Treatment:
The procedure is quick and comfortable, typically lasting 20-30 minutes depending on the treatment area. A cooling device may be used to ensure comfort. Patients generally feel a mild warming or light snapping sensation, which is well-tolerated.

After the Treatment:

  • Immediate Results: Some patients notice tighter skin right after treatment, with full results developing over several weeks as collagen production increases.
  • No Downtime: There’s minimal downtime, so you can return to daily activities right away. Any redness or swelling typically resolves within a few hours to a day.
  • Gradual Improvement: Skin tightening continues over time as new collagen is formed, with optimal results visible 3-6 months after treatment.

Follow-up Treatments:
For the best results, multiple sessions may be required depending on the severity of skin laxity. Treatments are typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Your provider at Skinfidelity will help create a customized treatment plan to meet your goals.
