A facelift without surgery!

Want to lift your face without surgery? Would you like firmer skin without adding volume to your face?

Using state-of-the-art laser techniques, we can visibly improve skin structure and firmness on your face, neck, and upper arms. We expertly apply lasers to smooth wrinkles, tighten sagging facial features, and even out your skin.

At SK Aesthetics in Rapperswil-Jona, we offer various laser treatments that lift your skin without the need to go under the knife. We will be happy to go over your options with you.

Methods

Skin tightening with lasers and ultrasound

The exact process for skin tightening with laser or ultrasound varies depending on the device used and your specific needs. We apply different techniques to target various depths within the skin, treating different layers with different effects. An in-depth consultation before your treatment will help us determine the best approach to meet your goals.

Preparation: Before the treatment, we cleanse your skin and can apply an anaesthetic cream if desired to reduce discomfort during the procedure.

Treatment: The handpiece is moved in a controlled pattern over the targeted area. The energy from the laser or ultrasound penetrates your skin, stimulating collagen production or removing thinner skin layers. Depending on the laser used, this may cause minor injuries or tiny burns beneath the skin.

Aftercare: Following the treatment, your skin may be red and sensitive. A cooling mask will help restore comfort quickly. It is essential to protect your skin from the sun for several weeks afterwards using a sun cream with a high protection factor. This will help you get the best results and avoid complications.

Ultherapy® treatment

Ultherapy is a non-invasive treatment that lifts the skin on the face and neck, offering results that closely resemble a facelift without the need for a scalpel. After an Ultherapy® treatment, sagging skin typically begins to tighten within a few days, leaving your skin looking smoother and fresher. The full lifting effects become visible after 3-6 months.

Skin tightening with CO2 laser

In aesthetic medicine, we use a CO2 laser to treat fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, pigmentation disorders, and scars. The ablative laser removes the top layers of skin and stimulates new collagen production, resulting in firmer, younger-looking skin.

Skin tightening with non-ablative fractional laser

The non-ablative fractional laser leaves the upper layers of the skin intact while its light penetrates deeper down, without removing or damaging the outer layer. This technique heats the tissue beneath the skin’s surface, stimulating collagen production and resulting in firmer skin.

My advice

The right skin tightening and skin rejuvenation for you depends on various factors, such as your specific goals, the amount of time you have available and whether you are able to take time out to recover, your main concerns, and your sensitivity to pain.

To find the best method for you, we offer a comprehensive consultation at our practice. With access to various medical devices and many years of experience, we can tailor each treatment to meet your individual needs.

FAQs – Frequently asked questions

That’s not an easy question to answer. The crucial consideration is whether you want to address fine lines around the mouth or eyes, or improve marionette lines. For fine lines, an ablative fractional laser is my first choice, provided you are able to take short time away from your usual activities to recover.

For marionette lines, we need to examine the underlying causes in detail. In most cases, Ultherapy is an excellent approach that achieves a noticeable improvement.

The duration depends on the method. A CO2 laser treatment for the face is relatively quick, but you should plan to spend about an hour at our practice because we will need to carry you various pre- and post-treatment procedures.

Ultherapy is more time-consuming. It typically takes at least 90 minutes. The exact duration of the treatment varies based on the area of the body or face being treated.

We can treat sagging skin on the neck using the same methods as for facial skin. Ultherapy®, the CO2 Fraxel laser, and non-ablative lasers will all have positive effects on this area.

Combining the available procedures and techniques yields the best results. For instance, we can first use Ultherapy® to tighten the skin deep down, then follow that with the injection of biostimulants such as calcium hydroxyapatite to achieve immediately visible results. If you then want to address fine wrinkles, pore structure, or pigmentation, we can also use other laser devices.
