ContrAge Laser Skin Tightening

As the newest rejuvenation treatment to join the market, ContrAge is an innovative laser skin-tightening procedure. Unlike similar procedures, the ContrAge aesthetic laser uses both radio-frequency waves and ultrasonic technology. The ultrasonic waves remove dead cells while the radio-frequency helps to stimulate collagen contractions. In essence, the system combines microdermabrasion and laser skin-tightening techniques to provide patients with tighter and healthier-looking skin. Approved for use on the arms, legs, buttocks and abdomen, as well as the face and neck, the three-step ContrAge procedure can be used not only to treat facial wrinkles and fine lines, but also for toning other parts of the body.

The Steps of ContrAge Laser Skin Tightening

The first step of the procedure involves exfoliation via microsonic abrasion. Similar to microdermabrasion, the technique removes dead cells, creating newer, smoother skin. The second step of the procedure has more in common with typical laser tightening treatments. Using radiofrequency waves, ContrAge heats the collagen-rich subdermal layers, encouraging the existing, sagging collagen strands to contract and promoting long-term growth of new collagen.

It's the last step of the procedure that makes ContrAge so innovative and unlike other procedures. After applying a topical gel, the certified aesthetician heats and massages the patient's skin with a hand-held laser to help meld the newly forming collagen into the existing strands.
