The procedure uses a safe level of infrared light that is able to penetrate the deeper layers of skin. The light energy heats the water in the skin tissue and causes collagen fibres to contract and tighten.

It also stimulates fibroblasts to repair skin cells and produce new collagen. This helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, and gives long-lasting firmness to sagging skin.

Because the NIR light energy only heats the deeper layer of skin that contains collagen, it leaves the top, surface layer unaffected.

During this high-tech facial, a deep cleanse is performed prior to treatment. Ultrasound gel, similar to what is used during pregnancy scans, is applied to the skin to enhance the absorption of wavelengths. The treatment typically takes up to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. The procedure is painless, and you can expect to feel a warm sensation during the treatment.

NIR technology can effectively treat the following areas:

– Chin
– Forehead
– Neck
– Eye area
– Full face and neck
– Body areas such as the abdomen, thighs, upper arms, and breasts.

Near infrared (NIR) skin tightening is a non-surgical, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment

It uses infrared light energy to penetrate the tissue under the skin’s surface, leaving the top layer of skin unaffected.

Before we start the treatment, we apply an oil to your skin which allows the laser to glide over the skin and also assists in heating the skin to reach the desired temperature.

We then pass the NIR handpiece over the targeted areas of your skin.

This heats up your skin until it reaches a working temperature of between 39 and 42 degrees Centigrade. We maintain this temperature for a further 10 to 15 minutes.

Depending on the size of the area we are treating, the whole procedure should be completed in about 30 to 40 minutes.

You should not feel any pain during the NIR skin tightening. Wou will feel a warm sensation, similar to being on a sun bed, which at most might be slightly uncomfortable.

The handpiece has a built-in cooling system to prevent the surface layer of your skin becoming too warm.

Because the treatment involves heating your skin to a relatively high temperature, you should expect some redness afterwards.

You may also have some mild swelling, but this and the redness should settle down within a few hours (24 hours at most).

Other than this, there is no downtime and you can continue with your day immediately after treatment.

You should notice your skin looking firmer immediately after the treatment and lines and wrinkles less prominent. This is partly due to the slight swelling that is a normal side effect of NIR skin tightening.

You should notice your skin looking firmer immediately after the treatment and lines and wrinkles less prominent. This is partly due to the slight swelling that is a normal side effect of NIR skin tightening.

When this swelling has gone down (within 24 hours), the treated skin will feel smoother and you will see some improvement.

However, the most significant results happen gradually over the following 2 or 3 months. In this period, the tightening becomes more visible as the skin forms new collagen.

Some patients have achieved their expected results after only one treatment. Most people, though, benefit from a course of 3 to 6 treatments, at intervals of up to 3 weeks. A few patients may need up to 8 treatments, depending on their skin condition and expectations.

During your consultation for the procedure, we will discuss the number and frequency of treatments that you need to achieve optimal results.

NIR skin tightening treatment can help to reduce some of the visible signs of ageing skin. We normally expect the results from the treatment to last for a year at the least, and more often up to 2 years. NIR can’t, however, completely halt the ageing process, and you may continue to need top-up treatments to maintain results.

The procedure usually takes 30 – 45 minutes depending on the size of the area to be treated.
The number of treatments you will need will depend on the area being treated and condition of your skin. A series of up to six treatments at 2-3 week intervals is usually recommended to achieve the desired result of smoother, tighter skin.

You will notice an immediate improvement following treatments, however you will see further improvements develop gradually over a period of 1 – 3 months as new collagen is formed and your skin tightens further.

Results can be maintained with just one or two single treatments a year.
Treatment is generally considered by most people to be ‘near’ painless, with only a warm sensation or feeling of heat felt during the treatment.

You may experience lingering warmth, tightness, swelling or redness in the treated area, which often fades within a few hours of treatment and seldom lasts more than a few days. Generally, you can receive a treatment and go back to work or to other activities without any recovery time.
