LaserLift skin tightening

Laser treatment for firmer skin and a clearer contour

As we get older, the skin makes less collagen and elastin. It loses firmness and starts to sag, on the face as well as on the body.

LaserLift tightens the skin with a minimally invasive laser and stimulates the body's own collagen production. There is no long downtime.

What is LaserLift?

LaserLift is an established medical laser technique for skin tightening. The laser heats tissue in the deeper layers of the skin. The heat triggers regeneration, so the skin becomes firmer and its texture improves. It can also be used to treat scars.

We aim for a natural result, without an artificial look of added volume.

How does LaserLift work?

The laser energy:

• stimulates collagen and elastin
• tightens loose skin
• improves skin density and texture
• improves scars

Because the laser delivers its energy precisely and evenly, results are predictable.

Which areas can be treated?

LaserLift works on the face and on the body. We most often treat the jawline, cheeks and neck. On the body it can be used on the abdomen, upper arms or thighs where the skin has lost firmness.

Acne scars also respond well. New collagen smooths depressed scars and refines the skin. Depending on the type and depth of the scars, we combine LaserLift with fractional lasers or subcision.

Which areas make sense for you depends on your skin and how much it has sagged. We decide this together at your consultation.

Who is LaserLift for?

For people with early or moderate skin laxity who want an effective but gentle treatment, a natural result and no surgery.

LaserLift is also a good option for deep or extensive acne scars, especially when chemical peels or fractional laser alone are not enough. New collagen in the deeper layers lifts depressed scars and improves texture and overall skin quality.

What happens during treatment?

First we talk about your skin, your goals and what is realistic. Then we draw up a treatment plan.

The treatment is done on an outpatient basis. How long it takes depends on the area. Afterwards the skin usually needs only a short time to recover. Mild redness or swelling can occur and usually settles quickly.

What results can I expect?

The aim is visibly firmer skin and clearer contours. Results build up gradually, because the body needs time to form new collagen.

We deliberately avoid overcorrecting. The result should suit your face and body.

Why LaserLift for skin tightening?

The laser works exactly where the skin is sagging and delivers its energy evenly, which makes results safe and predictable. If you are looking for an alternative to surgery, LaserLift is a good choice.

Why LaserLift for scars?

LaserLift reaches the deeper layers of the skin, so it is especially suited to depressed or pronounced scars, for example acne scars. It stimulates new collagen, loosens hardened tissue and improves skin texture for the long term. With deep scars, peels or fractional lasers alone are often not enough, and this is where LaserLift can help.

At our center in Vienna we will discuss whether LaserLift suits you and what result you can realistically expect, then put together your treatment plan.

Questions and answers about LaserLift

What does LaserLift cost?

The price depends mainly on:

• the size of the area
• how much and how deeply the skin has sagged
• the number of sessions
• whether we combine it with other treatments, such as biostimulators or fillers

That is why we don't quote a flat price. After your consultation you get a treatment plan and a clear idea of the cost.

Approximate prices per session

• Jowls / jawline (sagging cheeks): from €1,700
• Lower face including cheeks and double chin: from €2,500
• Neck: approx. €2,500
• Scar treatment: from €2,000

These prices are a guide only. The final price depends on your findings and treatment plan.

Does health insurance cover the cost?

Usually not. LaserLift counts as an aesthetic treatment, so statutory and private insurers normally don't pay for it. In medically justified cases it can be worth asking. Whether they pay depends on your insurer and the medical indication.

Is LaserLift painful?

Most patients tolerate it well. You may feel warmth or slight pressure, and this varies from person to person. We give you enough pain relief before the treatment starts.

When will I see results?

You may notice first changes right after treatment or over the following weeks. The real tightening comes gradually, since new collagen takes time to form. The skin then looks firmer and smoother. The final result usually shows after several months.

How long do the results last?

That depends on your skin type, age, lifestyle and how your skin ages. Because LaserLift stimulates your own collagen, results can stay stable for a long time. Your skin keeps ageing, though, so top-up treatments can make sense.

Is LaserLift right for me if I have lost a lot of weight through exercise or GLP-1 medication?

Yes, this is one of the most common reasons for LaserLift. Many people feel fitter and healthier after losing weight, but the face often loses volume. The skin looks looser and the face tired or hollow.

LaserLift tightens the skin without the incisions, scars and longer downtime of a facelift. Small fat deposits, for example under the chin or along the jowls, can be treated at the same time. Your face looks fresher and more defined, and your expressions stay natural.

There are no visible scars, and most patients are back to their normal routine within a few days.

How many treatments are needed?

That varies. Often one treatment is enough, sometimes a plan with several steps makes more sense. We decide on the number at your consultation.

Is there any downtime?

Usually no long downtime. Mild redness or swelling can occur and settles quickly. When you feel ready to be seen in public depends on the area and on how your skin reacts, but it is often soon after.

Is LaserLift suitable for every skin type?

Not every kind of skin laxity responds well to laser. So we examine your skin carefully first and tell you whether LaserLift is an option for you.

Can LaserLift be combined with other treatments?

Yes, depending on your situation. We plan the right combination with you.

At our practice at Vienna Main Station we have a wide range of laser systems. We get very good results when we combine LaserLift, which works in the deeper layers, with lasers that renew the skin surface. Together they work much better, and downtime stays short.

How to book a consultation

The first step is a consultation with Dr. Johannes Bisschoff or Dr. Christina Spiegelfeld.

At this appointment we examine your skin and assess whether LaserLift makes medical sense for you, and to what extent. We talk about what you want and agree on realistic goals. From that we put together a plan that fits your skin. LaserLift is often one part of it, combined with other treatments.

We can only give you an exact cost estimate after the examination. At the consultation we also explain the procedure, possible risks and side effects, and what you can realistically expect. You will have plenty of time for questions before you decide.

To book with one of our two LaserLift doctors, choose the appointment type "12. Wrinkle Treatment" on the booking website or call our reception during opening hours.
