LASER SKIN TIGHTENING
How it Works
Candela Skin Tightening works by delivering gentle heat into the deeper layers of the skin to contract existing collagen and activate your fibroblast cells. This controlled warmth triggers Heat Shock Proteins, which act like your skin’s repair team, protecting collagen and encouraging the production of fresh, new fibres. Over time, this process firms the skin, improves elasticity and creates a smoother, tighter appearance without affecting facial volume or fat pads. It’s a safe, comfortable and effective way to restore a more lifted, supported look.
What Happens During the Procedure?​​
Your skin will be cleansed, and protective eyewear will be provided. The laser delivers gentle heat pulses to the treatment area. You may feel a warming sensation, but the built-in cooling spray ensures comfort. The session lasts 15-45 minutes, depending on the area treated. Afterward, your skin may be slightly pink or warm, but this subsides quickly.​​
