Laser facial treatments are widely used in aesthetic medicine and skin care to remove certain skin features or tighten the skin by promoting elastin and collagen production.
Elastin is a fibrous protein within the skin that keeps it tight and helps it bounce back to its original shape when you tug on it. The treatments also stimulate collagen production, which is a fibrous protein giving your skin firmness.
Leva Medical offers several laser facial treatments using a few laser types, which all emit energy at singular wavelengths to reach different layers of skin. At the practice, they use an Nd:YAG laser to heat and destroy damaged skin cells and a CO2 fractional laser for skin resurfacing and tightening.
