What is a Laser Facelift?

A laser facelift, also known as LazerLift, represents the latest advancement in non-surgical facial rejuvenation technology. This innovative treatment uses precisely controlled laser energy to tighten skin, reduce wrinkles, and restore facial contours without the need for traditional surgical procedures.

Unlike conventional facelifts that require incisions and extensive downtime, laser facelift treatments provide significant skin tightening and rejuvenation results through minimally invasive techniques that stimulate natural collagen production.

How Laser Facelift Technology Works

Advanced laser facelift systems deliver controlled thermal energy deep into the skin’s layers, creating a dual-action effect:

• Immediate skin contraction: Heat energy causes existing collagen fibers to contract and tighten
• Long-term collagen remodeling: Controlled thermal injury stimulates new collagen production over 3-6 months
• Improved skin texture: Laser energy smooths surface irregularities and reduces fine lines
• Enhanced facial definition: Targeted treatment areas show improved contours and firmness

Treatment Areas for Laser Facelift

Dr. Kristin Egan expertly performs laser facelift treatments to address multiple areas of facial aging:

• Lower face and jawline: Reduces jowls and improves definition
• Neck area: Tightens loose skin and eliminates turkey neck appearance
• Cheek and temple region: Lifts sagging skin and restores volume

Patients choosing laser facelift treatment at Dr. Egan’s Manhattan Beach practice enjoy numerous advantages over traditional surgical procedures:

• Minimal downtime: Most patients return to normal activities within 2-3 days
• No incisions or scars: Treatment requires only small entry points
• Local anesthesia: Comfortable procedure without general anesthesia risks

• Long-lasting effects: Results continue improving for 6 months and last 2-3 years
