SKIN TIGHTENING
Near-Infrared (NIR) technology offers a gentle and non-invasive pain-free treatment. The technology relies on high-power light sources that are near the infrared spectrum to deliver a safe and effective subdermal heating. The treatment triggers the natural healing process of the body by stimulating the production of collagen and tightens laxity.
The best thing about NIR is that it is ideal for all skin types. It can be used to treat almost all parts of the body. The treatment works best on loose or saggy skin.
Areas that can be treated using NIR include:
• Upper arms
• Abdomen
• Above the knees
• Thighs
• The back
The results of the treatment vary from one person to the next since our bodies respond differently to treatment.

SKIN TIGHTENING FAQ'S
NIR treatment does work in correcting sagging, ageing and creepy-looking skin. The treatment makes the skin firmer and gives it a more youthful appearance. The treatment works because it stimulates the natural healing process of the body. It causes the production of new collagen which rejuvenates the skin. You avoid the costs and risks that come with plastic surgery.
NIR technology uses a safe level of infrared light. This light penetrates the skin layers, heats up the water in skin tissues and causes the collagen fibers to contract and tighten. The treatment further stimulates fibroblasts, which repairs skin cells and triggers the production of new collagen. The result of these actions is the smoothing out of wrinkles and fine lines. The skin also gets a long-lasting firmness which treats sagging skin. Since NIR light energy heats the deeper layers of the skin that contain collagen, the top layer is unaffected.
During the NIR skin tightening treatment, you should not experience any pain. You will feel a warm sensation that is similar to the one you get on a sun bed. At most, this warm sensation will just be uncomfortable. The handpiece comes with a built-in cooling system. This system keeps the surface of the skin from getting too warm.
Since the treatment involves the heating of the skin to a slightly high temperature, after the treatment you can expect to see some redness. Some people may also have mild swelling. The redness and the swelling will disappear within 24 hours. The NIR treatment has no downtime. You can go on with your daily activities immediately after the treatment.
The results are almost immediate. You will start seeing your skin looking firmer as soon as the treatment is done. This may be due to the slight swelling, which is a normal side effect of NIR skin tightening. Once the swelling goes away (typically within 24 hours), the treated area will feel smoother and you will notice improvements. The results of the NIR treatment are gradual — you will notice significant results after 2 to 3 months as the skin forms new collagen.
Some patients achieve their cosmetic goals within a few treatments. Most people, however, benefit from a course of 6 to 10 treatments. A few people might require up to 12 treatments to achieve their desired results. This is because the results depend on your skin condition and expectations.
