GentleYAG vs Thermage, Titan and Accent for skin tightening

There are a variety of non-surgical approaches to tightening skin. The GentleYAG laser has been used to tighten skin but, in my experience, the following 3 do a better job: Thermage, Titan and Accent treatments. All of these modalities will help tighten the skin, but you do need realistic expectations, as the results will never be as significant as those seen with surgery. Because these non-invasive approaches are done without the risk of surgery, they are very popular.
