California Skin Institute was the first dermatology practice in the SF Bay Area to perform a Sidelaze Procedure (which included a laser neck lift) in June 2012. The Sidelaze by Cynosure (the company behind Smartlipo and Cellulaze) is a side-firing laser specifically designed for the face and neck to assist in reduction in fibrous connections in the neck and to thermally tighten the face and neck skin. This local anesthesia technology represents the most recent state-­of-the-art technique for minimally invasive skin tightening and takes a traditional neck liposuction and facelift to a higher level. While nationally recognized for his excellent results with the Vertical Vector Face Lift, Side Laze now offers patients a less invasive, suture-free, local anesthesia procedure to tighten skin of the face and neck.

Candidates include men and women seeking reduction of extra fullness of the neck and lower face and tightening of neck skin without a surgical facelift. A laser neck lift has a quick recovery and patients can typically return to work after a weekend recovery.
