Laser Skin Tightening in Boston, MA
Light and heat are one and the same—especially as far as your skin is concerned. While UV radiation bombards and degrades our facial skin year after year, another form of focused light can inspire healing, tightening, and a more youthful appearance. Laser skin tightening at Regeneris Medspa & Cosmetic Surgery may be what you’re looking for.
At Regeneris Medspa & Cosmetic Surgery, we offer the latest, safest, most effective laser treatments to combat a number of age-related skin health issues. Laser skin tightening creates immediate results that only compound with each additional appointment, so the sooner you start, the sooner you’ll see a more youthful, energetic face in the mirror.

How Laser Skin Tightening Works
Your skin naturally creates two extremely helpful healing agents in the form of elastin and collagen. These two proteins dictate the buoyancy, texture, and health of your facial skin. By penetrating deep into the skin with concentrated beams of light (or radiofrequency and ultrasound methods), skin tightening procedures heat up the collagen already present while encouraging the production of more.
Once the collage in your face is heated to a certain degree, it contracts, creating a more youthful appearance through tighter, healthier skin. Fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and overall texture is improved. Laser skin tightening is also ideal for dealing with crepey, loose skin.
Skin Tightening with Laser Genesis
In addition to our CO2 laser skin tightening treatments, Regeneris Medspa & Cosmetic Surgery also offers skin tightening with Laser Genesis. Our Laser Genesis treatment uses a near-infrared wavelength of laser light to encourage new skin growth and collagen production. Additionally, heat generated by the Laser Genesis treatment can disperse diffused blood beneath the skin (redness, persistent blushing) to return your skin to its normal complexion.
Laser genesis tightens skin, banishes blushing/redness, and encourages the development of newer, healthier skin in one simple, lunch break procedure.
The Benefits of Laser Skin Tightening
Laser skin tightening is minimally-invasive and only requires a treatment window of 30 minutes to an hour and a half. Collagen and elastin production increase almost immediately, providing visible results directly after or shortly after the procedure. Better still, the results of laser skin tightening compound with each additional treatment, producing better and better results, including:
Reduced fine lines/wrinkles
Increased collagen production
Increased elastin production
Tightens skin for less sagging
Can reduce/eliminate discoloration
Scar revision
Reduction in blushing/redness
Improved healing
Shrinks pores
Improved texture

Laser Skin Tightening FAQs
Laser light is, in essence, a focused beam of high-intensity heat, leading to a warming or snapping sensation for laser procedures. Beyond that, most patients describe all forms of laser skin tightening as ultimately comfortable—especially when compared to the results they create.
For facial uses, laser skin tightening treatments go by in a flash! The smaller the area being treated, the quicker your appointment will be. On average, for use on the face, you might expect a procedure requiring anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Like some other laser procedures, skin tightening improves with each additional appointment with a minimum of 3 procedures recommended for the best results.
As a minimally- or non-invasive laser procedure, skin tightening at Regeneris Medspa & Cosmetic Surgery requires no extensive downtime or waiting period before normal activities can resume. You may experience some redness, swelling, and other minor symptoms directly after your procedure, but most of the side effects will disappear shortly. Otherwise, you’ll be ready to get back to work and life directly after your appointment.
