Based on the pioneering research performed by Dr. David Goldberg and several other internationally recognized laser centers, it has become clear that these devices can accomplish what has been unobtainable with prior laser devices. Those who wish to forestall a surgical facelift or surgical browlift can accomplish some tissue tightening through a series of lunchtime treatments. Those who want to tighten abdominal, knee, arm or elbow skin can do the same. Treatment is undertaken and a patient immediately returns to her normal daily activities. These pioneering new technologies not meant to replace a more aggressive surgical procedure. They are the ideal alternative for the younger person who is just beginning to see some jowls, drooping of their eyebrows or hanging skin elsewhere on the body. Periodic touchup procedures are required.
