Laser Skin Tightening in Miami

Loose, sagging skin is one of the first and most obvious signs of aging, but it happens to all of us. As the years go by, our collagen production slows down and our skin loses its elasticity. Our laser skin tightening treatments at The Maercks Institute in Miami can remove focal fat collections and the appearance of cellulite in a non-invasive way with a faster recovery time.

The Maercks Multimodal Therapy

Dr. Rian Maercks has developed a therapy consisting of best practices in non-invasive body contouring to erase cellulite, reduce fat, and improve loose skin. This is called The Maercks Multimodal Therapy (MMT). Dr. Maercks developed this therapy years ago, as “of the moment” non-invasive body contouring and skin tightening treatments began to take off in the cosmetic industry. After experiencing these technologies, Dr. Maercks found himself disappointed with the hype and lack of a satisfying outcome. He decided to combine these treatments in order to maximize their effects to see if he could make them worthwhile — and The Maercks Multimodal Therapy was born.

Skin firming with SkinTyte

SkinTyte™ is a laser skin tightening treatment that provides firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Not only does it tighten lax skin; it also reduces pigmentation and lessens scar tissue. It’s used to treat skin of all colors, and can be used all over the body.

With the help of the principle of selective thermolysis, the skin is deeply heated even as it’s cooled, which initiates the body’s natural healing process and stimulates new collagen production to firm the skin for a more youthful appearance.

A series of light energy is delivered to the area in quick pulses. This series is repeated over the treated area until the desired results are achieved. Dr. Maercks takes great pride in his ability to tailor each treatment plan to the individual patient, so the actual time required to treat the area will depend on the specific case. This procedure requires little to no downtime, and is completely comfortable for the patient.

Profractional erbium laser

This treatment uses a carbon dioxide laser as Dr. Maercks creates a grid pattern and directs tiny pulses of light at the skin, stimulating the growth of collagen. Patients who opt for the Profractional erbium laser often have longer recovery times, with several weeks of redness in the treated areas.

Fractional CO2 laser

Dr. Maercks precisely controls the depth, intensity, and percentage of treated areas in order to minimize redness after treatment. Combining superficial erbium laser delivery and BroadBand Light (BBL)™, patients get the best of both worlds for optimal results.

Personalized treatments

After meeting with each patient, Dr. Maercks creates a specialized treatment plan with anywhere from 2 to 6 non-invasive procedures that work in combination to achieve the desired results. Patients are considered in a manner that is anything but cookie-cutter. Dr. Maercks employs a perspective of optimizing aesthetics in the most natural way to highlight the individual’s good looks through bespoke designed interventions. His artistic vision and experienced judgement are used to select from these techniques to achieve the desired results in the safest most effective way possible. Over the course of 6 to 8 weeks after treatment, the new collagen will remodel and contract, creating tighter, youthful-looking skin in the treated areas.
