We all age, yet none of us wish to see the signs of aging. Even if we eat correctly and exercise, the skin on our bodies loose its elasticity and become laxer, losing the firm, toned look of our youth. Skin tightening can give the cheeks a lift, while redefining the jaw line, tightening the neck and softening the nasolobial folds (from the corners of your nose down towards your mouth). Skin tightening treatment provides a general “lift” to the face, but a facelift is necessary to reverse advanced sagging of the skin or where there is excessive loose skin. When it comes to tightening and contouring, some people need/ want the dramatic results of surgery, while others want the gradual natural looking results of a non- invasive treatment with no down time. That is why they choose the near infrared skin tightening. It helps improves skin tone, texture and tightness for a younger looking appearance. This technology tightens loose skin on the face, chest and neck, where sagging unattractively points out the passage of time. Your skin has 3 layers
The collagen in your dermis and subcutaneous tissue keeps your skin youthful and tight. But as you age and also as a result of sun exposure the collagen breaks down faster that your body can rebuild it and your skin will start to sag. How does it work? Without damaging the skin’s surface, pulsed light safely and effectively heats the inner layers (the dermis and the subcutaneous layers) of the skin. . The deep heating stimulates your body’s natural skin renewal process which helps tighten existing collagen and form new collagen. Over time and several treatments the sagging or wrinkled skin is replaced with smoother, tighter skin with improved tone and texture that will give you an overall younger looking appearance. What to expect? Patients must consult with their therapist to determine the course of their treatment. Results depend on factors that include age, the target area’s location and the severity of skin laxity. Before treatment an ultrasound gel is applied to the area to be treated. Then the therapist delivers precise pulses of light to the target area. Patients report little or no pain with pulse light treatment and can return to their normal activities immediately. Does it hurt? While pain tolerance is an individual matter, most people tolerate pulsed light treatment very well and describe the sensation as a rubber band snap to the skin. What results can I expect? While people generally note improvement quite early on in their treatment; some people will witness the results gradually. The production of collagen is stimulated with every treatment and the skin gets rebuilt over time as the collagen starts forming. It is therefore necessary to have a series of 6-8 treatments. Your final results will actually be evident 6 months after your treatment when the collagen in the skin has been rebuilt. Is it safe? Pulsed light assures safe, effective treatment. Light pulses precisely heat their intended targets, causing little or no skin discomfort or skin damage. This optimal use of energy both increases safety and eliminates the need for cooling methods. The IPL skin tightening has FDA approval and clinical trials conducted by leading authorities documented its safety and effectiveness. |
