NIR Skin Tightening Laser

Treatment Description

NIR (Near Infrared) skin tightening is a non-surgical treatment that uses high-power infrared light to heat dermal tissue, triggering a “double stimulation” effect. The heat causes immediate contraction of existing collagen fibres, while also stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen over the subsequent 2–3 months. The surface epidermis remains unaffected, making the procedure virtually painless and comfortable.

What to Expect

  • The Procedure: An “In-Motion” delivery technique is used with a chilled tip to maintain comfort. A cooling gel is applied prior to treatment.
  • Sensation: Described as a soothing, warm stone massage.
  • Course: 5–6 treatments are recommended every 2–3 weeks, with quarterly maintenance sessions.

Benefits

  • Non-Surgical Lifting: Tightens mild to moderate laxity on the face and body without downtime.
  • Double Stimulation: Provides immediate contraction and long-term collagen synthesis.
  • Surface Safety: The epidermis is unaffected; no peeling or ablation occurs.
  • Broad Versatility: Treats jowls, abdomen, décolleté, arms, and thighs.
  • All Skin Types: Safe for all skin tones as it targets subdermal tissue, not surface melanin.

Preparation Instructions

  • Hydration: Drink 1 litre of water an hour before the session to improve tissue heating consistency.
  • Skin State: Arrive with clean, product-free skin.
  • Sun Exposure: Avoid prolonged sun exposure in the days prior.

Aftercare

  • ⚠️ Crucial Rule: Stay hydrated by drinking 2–3 litres of water daily to support cellular regeneration.
  • Ongoing: Use the clinician-recommended body cream or cellulite gel consistently between sessions.
  • Sun Protection: Apply SPF daily to maintain long-term skin health.

FAQ

Is it painful?
It is virtually pain-free; the chilled tip and In-Motion delivery make it feel like a warm massage.
Is it safe for darker skin types?
Yes; because it targets subdermal tissue and does not interact with surface melanin, there is no risk of surface burns or hyperpigmentation.
How long do results last?
Typically 6–9 months, though quarterly maintenance can sustain the results indefinitely.
