Smoother, tighter skin doesn't need
to be a distant memory! We offer a new and effective
method of tightening wrinkled and sagging skin on
the face, abdomen, upper arms, and other areas,
through infrared light pulses.
Our unique fractional technology can
deliver these treatments safely, comfortably and
effectively. And we deliver visible results with
little to no downtime after treatment.
Q: How
does skin tightening work? What should I expect
after treatment?
A: The fractional infrared method
delivers infrared light deep into the dermis. This
light causes soft tissue coagulation which leads to
remodeling of the collagen with-in the dermis. The
remodeled collagen fills in wrinkles and sagging,
for overall skin tightening. You may experience
lingering warmth, tightness, or redness in the
treated area, which fades within a few hours of
treatment. Because so much of the skin is unaffected
by the light pulses, there is a quick healing
process. Generally, you can receive a treatment and
go back to work or to other activities without any
recovery time. A series of treatments at 4-6 week
intervals may be required to achieve the desired
result of smoother, tighter skin in the face, arms,
abdomen & other areas.
Q: What
makes these treatments different from others?
A: Rather than using one large beam
to deliver infrared light into the skin, we uses the
"fractional" approach: delivering an array of small
beams. Each beam creates a heated column in the
dermis, which is surrounded by an unaffected area.
The unaffected tissue stimulates quicker collagen
remodeling, and faster healing.
Q: Are these
treatments safe? Are they painful?
A: The fractional method is much
safer and more comfortable then the bulk heating
approach of many other systems because it leaves so
much of the skin unaffected by the light pulses.
This method also uses 3-stage cooling. It cools the
skin before, during, and after each light pulse, so
you feel little discomfort during treatment.
