NIR stands for Near Infra-Red. This is the type of light emitted during your skin tightening treatment. The treatment uses a safe infrared light that heats the skin and the tissue immediately under the skin’s surface.

The heat produced during the treatment stimulates the infiltration of fibroblast and the formation of new collagen, while also tightening the existing bundles of collagen and elastin in the skin. This “double” stimulation both thickens and tightens the skin, strengthening the natural “scaffold” that gives our skin structure. This not only improves the skins appearance now, but also helps to bolster the skin against future ageing. The presence of healthy collagen in the dermis helps maintain the skin’s youthful resilience and texture.

Is it painful?

during the treatment your skin temperature will be elevated to a clinically proven “set point” and then maintained at that level for a short period of time for best effect.

Treatment is very comfortable, as the combination of an integrated chilled tip and an innovative “in-motion” treatment pattern allows for virtually pain-free, rapid treatments.

Is there any downtime?

Most patients experience no downtime and immediately resume their daily routine.

How many treatments will I need?

Patients will typically require a series of 5-6 treatments scheduled 2-3 weeks apart.

Is it permanent?

Results typically last 6-9 months post treatment or more but a maintenance treatment once per quarter is advised for optimal results.

There is no preparation other than arriving with clean skin
