The GentleYAG tightens the skin by heating the underlying layers and stimulating the production of new collagen, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin. Unlike vein treatment or hair removal, the laser light energy during this process is absorbed by water. The heated water in the vital portion of the skin contracts collagen and, through thermal injury, lays down new collagen. This process results in tightening the area treated.

Dr. Mark Taylor, a dermatologist at the Gateway Aesthetic Institute in Salt Lake City, Utah, was the first physician-investigator to conduct clinical studies comparing the skin-tightening results of the GentleYAG with those of another commonly used radiofrequency device. The study found the GentleYAG to be superior in terms of efficacy, speed, comfort, and affordability.

Clients who have undergone laser tightening have been overwhelmingly happy with their results and have found the Candela GentleYAG to be an exceptional way to smooth wrinkles and tighten the skin. The laser skin tightening procedure is considered a "lunchtime procedure." It can be performed in under 30 minutes, allowing clients to return to work after the procedure. Short of a facelift or a more aggressive/invasive approach, the GentleYAG facial skin tightening offers excellent results with no downtime.

Although rare, side effects are possible. They may include redness, swelling, a change in skin pigmentation (lighter or darker), bruising, or blisters. Side effects do not last more than a few days, and permanent side effects are exceedingly rare.
