Gentle Yag

Gentle YAG in Portland

Gentle YAG is one of our most versatile laser treatments. This non-invasive infrared laser has long pulse settings that gently heat the skin and result in a collagen-building response that creates new collagen and skin tightening. Dr. Key was the first author to publish a study on the greater effectiveness of Gentle YAG Laser Lift as compared to Thermage RF for lifting and tightening the skin.

Areas of Concern

What you can expect with Gentle YAG Laser Lift:

  • For skin tightening we recommend a package of 3 treatments about 2-4 weeks apart.
  • A Gentle YAG laser treatment takes about 30-45 minutes.
  • The Gentle YAG laser creates a warming sensation on the skin. Most patients experience very little discomfort during treatment.
  • There is no social downtime following a YAG Tightening treatment. There may be a slight blush tone or redness following treatment. Although uncommon, some patients experience mild swelling.
  • Best results will differ depending on the treatment area. Your best skin tightening results will emerge 4-6 months after the course of treatments.
