The NIR treatment uses a safe level of infrared light that is able to penetrate the deeper layers of skin to improve skin laxity with no down time. The light energy heats the water in the skin tissue and causes collagen fibres to contract and tighten. It also stimulates fibroblasts to repair skin cells and produce new collagen. The tissue is heated, but not destroyed, so it kick-starts cellular repair and collagen production.

• Skin Laxity
• Promotes smooth skin and an even texture
• Smooth out deeper wrinkles

Your skin is prepped, we apply a gliding medium for the laser to comfortably move on your skin. The hand piece is passed over your skin in a sweeping movement. During the treatment the skin temperature of the treated area will be closely monitored with a special infrared thermometer to ensure that your skin is receiving a sufficient level of heat necessary to warm up the water content of your skin and stimulate collagen production.

During the skin tightening treatment, you will feel a warm sensation as the infrared energy is delivered to the deeper layers of the skin. While the infrared energy is heating the dermis, continuous contact cooling is keeping the skin’s outer layer cool and comfortable. The treatment is generally considered by most to be ‘near’ painless, with only a warm sensation or feeling of heat felt during the treatment.

Multiple treatments are required depending on your skin’s laxity, the area to be treated and the results you desire. Typically, a course of up to six treatments is recommended at 3-4 week intervals. The complex process of new collagen formation means that the results will continue to improve and develop for up to 6 months after completion of your treatment course. A maintenance session every few months is recommended to maintain results.
