Laser Coring

Patients usually arrive having been quoted something else for the same problem. Here is how those compare, stated fairly.

Radiofrequency microneedling

Fine needles deliver heat into the deeper layers to provoke tightening. No tissue is removed. It is a reasonable technology and we do not use it, because removing tissue addresses laxity more directly than heating it does, and because the same energy that tightens can provoke pigment change in deeper skin.

Heat-based resurfacing

A laser that leaves a zone of heated tissue behind it contracts collagen as a side effect of the heat. That is genuine tightening, and it is also the reason recovery runs long and the pigment risk runs higher.

A surgical lift

Repositions tissue that has descended and removes the excess. For significant sagging it remains the right answer, and we will tell you so. Coring treats the quality and tension of the skin itself, which is a different problem that often sits alongside it.

At your consultation

Consultations are Monday through Friday. Your skin is examined and imaged, and Dr. Lindley tells you whether coring is the right approach for what you have, how many sessions it is likely to take, what the recovery involves and what it costs. You leave with a written plan and no obligation to book treatment that day.
