Laser Collagen Remodeling: What is Laser Collagen Remodeling? SlimVision's Fonana Nd:YAG laser is a 1064 nanometer laser that penetrates to the collagen layer in you skin to gently heat and stimulate new growth of collagen resulting in tightening of the skin. This safe and non-invasive procedure is often called the "Lunch-Hour Face Lift". Collagen is the "backbone" or structure of our skin, much like the framework to the house. As we age, our collagen bands relax, causing our skin to sag and envelop lines and wrinkles. Just like going to a gym and lifting weights stresses muscles, resulting in new muscle growth and toning, this deep heating of the collagen also results in new collagen growth.  This new growth can result in up to 40% tightening of the skin. This treatment can be combined with Microdermabrasion on the same day. --- Laser Collagen Remodeling: How will my skin look after treatment? SlimVision's Fonona Nd:YAG laser is safe on all skin types. In most people there is no sign that a treatment has been done. The Neck may also be treated. This treatment can be completed in as little as 45 minutes. --- Laser Collagen Remodeling: How long will it take to see results? Because we are stimulating your own collagen to grow, results will not be seen overnight. This is a gradual change which will be seen over weeks to months. Your age and general health will affect your individual results. --- Laser Collagen Remodeling: How many treatments will I need? Just like you cannot lift weights one time to tone muscles, you must begin with a series of treatments. A minimum of three treatments, four to six weeks apart, are recommended. Follow up treatments will be needed to maintain continued collagen growth. ---
