ND:Yag Skin Tightening is a gentle yet powerful non-invasive laser treatment designed to firm, lift, and rejuvenate ageing skin by activating deep collagen renewal. Using a cutting-edge 1064nm wavelength, this treatment heats the dermis safely and precisely, triggering immediate contraction of collagen fibres while stimulating long-term neocollagenesis. The result is smoother, tighter, more lifted skin with no downtime.
What Is ND:Yag Skin Tightening?
ND:Yag Skin Tightening uses non-ablative 1064nm laser energy to penetrate deep into the dermis without disrupting the skin's surface. As the laser energy converts to heat, collagen fibres contract while fibroblasts are stimulated to produce new, stronger collagen over time. This dual action delivers both immediate and long-lasting improvement in skin tone, firmness, and texture.
This treatment is especially beneficial for areas affected by ageing, sun exposure, or mild to moderate skin laxity, including the face, jawline, neck, and delicate peri-ocular area.
Why We Need Skin Tightening as We Age
From our late twenties, the skin naturally produces approximately 1% less collagen per year. By the time we reach our forties and fifties, collagen depletion becomes noticeably visible through:
Environmental stressors, hormonal changes, chronic inflammation, and lifestyle factors accelerate this decline.
How ND:Yag Skin Tightening Works
Precision heating for immediate lift + long-term collagen rebuilding
1. Deep Dermal Heating
The 1064nm laser safely heats the deeper layers of the dermis without injuring the surface. This uniform thermal effect causes immediate contraction of existing collagen fibres.
2. Fibroblast Activation
Heat stimulates fibroblasts (the skin's collagen-producing cells) to create fresh collagen and elastin over several months.
3. Gradual, Natural-Looking Firmness
Because results build gradually, skin appears tighter and smoother in a way that feels most natural.
4. Safe for All Skin Types (Fitzpatrick I–VI)
The ND:Yag wavelength is stable, reliable, and safe across all skin tones.
