Introducing NIR Skin Tightening
Near Infra Red (NIR) skin tightening is a new light based solution for tightening sagging skin, without surgery or downtime. This procedure gives tightening of the skin utilising safe, infrared light that triggers a biological response. This response leads to collagen remodelling in the deeper dermal layers and can help smooth out fine wrinkles and sagging skin.Infrared light heats the tissue deep below the skins surface causing collagen fibres to contract, tighten and stimulate new growth, creating long term results. The body's own natural healing process also starts to produce new collagen, to continue improvement over subsequent months.
NIR is useful in any facial or body area, where there is loose or lax skin. Positive and long term results can be found in areas such as the neck, jowls and jaw line, areas that have traditionally been difficult to treat in any other way than surgery. It is also useful for improving thin, crepey skin or any areas where there is distinct collagen loss.
The treatment itself is warm but comfortable, with the skin appearing pink, tight and healthy post treatment. NIR can deliver these treatments safely, comfortably and effectively, delivering visible results with little to no downtime after the treatment.
The NIR successfully treats a wide range of areas, including:
• Skin tightening of body, face, and neck
• Laxity of post-pregnancy abdominal skin
• Laxity of buttocks and knees
• Improving skin quality of décolleté
• Hand dorsal rejuvenation
A course of 6 to 8 treatments are recommended over a 4 week period, with results continuing to improve over a 3 month period.
Who is suitable for Infrared skin tightening treatment?
The effectiveness of laser Skin Tightening treatments is dependent on the characteristics and severity of your loose skin. Laser Skin Tightening works best if you have mild to moderate laxity and sagging in the cheek, jaw line and/or neck and mild looseness with minimal stretch marks on your abdomen. Patients between 30 and 65 are generally good candidates for this type of procedure.
