TightSculpting
Overview
Get smoother and tighter skin with TightSculpting
Do you live in baggy clothes to hide your excess flab? Cellulite may happen to anybody at any age, irrespective of your sex and regardless of your weight. To combat the hard to kill cellulite issue, here is a solution, an advanced laser therapy called TightSculpting. This laser therapy eliminates fat, firms the skin, and reduces cellulite.
TightSculpting is a non-invasive, pleasant, and safe procedure used for body shaping. The laser procedure targets stubborn fat with regulated laser energy- the heat causes fat cells to disintegrate. Remember, this is not a weight-loss treatment. If you wish to enjoy a perfectly sculpted body post-treatment, then maintain appropriate nutrition and exercise regularly.
TightSculpting at Advanced Laser Clinic uses Fotona laser to burn extra fat and tighten the skin. This procedure will leave your body toned and firm.
Procedure
How does Fotona TightSculpting work?
Fotona’s TightSculpting is a patented laser technology for skin tightening and sculpting that uses unique dual wavelengths and works on every body part. Hyperthermic adipocyte death and collagen remodelling result in a remarkable outcome. This is a non-invasive, quick, and easy method used for fat removal.
Here’s how it works:
STEP 1: PIANO pulse for Deep Skin Tightening and Fat Reduction
By using a very long Nd: YAG pulse mode intended to heat tissue without harming the epidermis, the device can transfer energy in such a way that it warms fat cells under the skin, improving metabolism without tampering with the skin's integrity. The PIANO setting increases the pulse length to seconds, resulting in full-thickness bulk heating and a synergistic tightening effect.
STEP 2: SMOOTH pulse for improving skin surface laxity
In addition to skin tightening, a new non-ablative Er: YAG SMOOTH® mode is used in the second stage. Surface tissue is heated to induce collagen remodelling and neocollagenesis, characterised by collagen produced in the skin. The results ensure that the laxity and elasticity in the treated regions are improved.

Prior to Treatment
Every person wishing to be treated at Advanced Laser Clinic will require a consultation with our Laser Consultant prior to their first treatment.
At this appointment, we welcome all questions to advance your understanding of the treatment. There will be a consultation form to be completed about your health and medications to asses your eligibility for treatment.
A patch test will be performed on your skin to ensure the laser settings are suitable for you. If there are no reactions 24 hours after your patch test, we can commence your laser treatment.
Before laser therapy, it is very important that you keep your treated area away from sun exposure. Your skin needs to be protected from the sun for a minimum of two weeks before any treatment commences. This is crucial both before and after the treatment. The lasers work on providing a specific heat at a specific depth in your tissue to produce a desired end point. This end point can be exacerbated if exposed to sun and can cause unwanted side effects.
Before & After

Is Fotona Laser safe?Yes, as the laser treatment is a non-surgical and non-invasive process which makes use of multi-laser technology., it is clinically proven to be safe for all skin types. Apart from this, it has minimal to no downtime and produces satisfactory results.
-
Do you offer numbing for Laser hair removal?Unfortunately, topical numbing creams are not safe nor effective when doing Laser Hair Removal. The sensation you feel in treatment is not felt on the skin, but in the follicle of the hair. Unfortunately numbing cream cannot penetrate deep enough to minimise the discomfort that may be felt at the follicle. Please ensure that no occlusive creams are present in the treatment areas when undergoing laser hair removal treatments.

-
Can I have Laser hair removal if i have Epilepsy?Epilepsy sufferers are advised to consult with their doctor about having Laser Hair Removal. An individual will need to obtain medical clearance from their doctor prior to starting treatment. At Laser Clinics Australia, we also offer various options of protective eyewear to ensure your safety at all times during treatment.
-
What kind of results can I expect?A majority of patients who undergo this treatment see an 80-90% reduction in their hair growth. and the hair follicles that remain after treatment are damaged, meaning that they will produce a finer hair than before treatment. In the weeks following the laser treatment, you will be noticing less hair, slower-growing hair, and even hair falling out. There is also a reduction in hair bumps and ingrown hairs after your first treatment. It is important to apply moisturizers and cool compresses immediately after the treatment if you feel any discomfort in the treated area. Following the treatment, overall you should be able to see a loss of hair over the month. It is recommended to use sunscreen whenever you step out. Although there are some complications that may occur with the process of laser hair removal, as it is with any medical procedure, these are usually minor and rarely occur. Any possible effects of laser hair removal will be reviewed by your clinician during your consultation.

Pre & post care for laser hair removal treatments.- You are required to shave the entire area you wish to get treated prior to the day of your laser hair removal treatment. - Avoid using exfoliators such as alpha beta hydroxyl acid, alcohol toners or any other creams which might be irritating, for one-week before your laser hair removal treatment. - Do not apply any perfumes, deodorants or any type of makeup to the area to be treated on the day of your treatment. - Do not go for any artificial tanning such as tanning beds and spray tans within 2-3 weeks prior to your treatment. - After your hair removal treatment, you may experience the growth of hair for up to two weeks. However, this is only the treated hair that is being shed from the follicle. - Following your laser hair removal treatment, you will likely experience slight redness and swelling around the hair follicles and some mild discomfort, mostly similar to sunburn. Cool packs may be applied. - You may observe during and after your session the smell of burned hair. However, this is normal. - It is essential to avoid swimming pools and spas treated with chemicals or chlorine until the skin returns to its normal condition. - Until the skin returns to normal condition, you must not have any facials or peels on any treated facial areas. - If the underarm area is being treated, do not use deodorant for 24 to 48 hours. - Following the treatment, do not rub, or pick the area which is treated.
