As we age and signs of fatigue and stress start to appear, laser wrinkle removal becomes one of the most sought-after cosmetic solutions. According to Dr. Fekreya Kamal Okba, Consultant in Dermatology, Aesthetics, and Laser, laser treatment is a safe and effective option to stimulate collagen and tighten the skin without surgery.
This technique uses precise laser beams directed at the skin layers to stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer skin and visibly reduced wrinkles. It's used on the face, neck, and hands, and is effective for both fine lines and deep wrinkles.
According to Dr. Fekreya Kamal Okba, wrinkles may be caused by:
Aging
Excessive sun exposure
Smoking and poor dietary habits
Dehydration
Stress and lack of sleep
Genetics
