If you are looking for a fast, easy, and non-invasive way to tighten your skin from the inside out, then you may want to consider laser skin tightening form The Plastic Surgery Group of Rochester. By using high-intensity beams of light, laser skin tightening works to heat up the treatment area which then causes your skin to heal itself and create more collagen over time.

FAQ: Does It Hurt?

If you have ever had laser hair removal or any other type of laser procedure done before, then you may be familiar with what it feels like. If you haven’t, however, then many patients relate the sensation to a small rubber band flicking your skin over and over again. So, although it’s not exactly enjoyable, it’s more irritating than anything.
