NIR
Radiance and smooth texture are the hallmarks of youthful skin. But over time, the effects of ageing and sun exposure leave skin imperfections such as wrinkles, fine lines and skin laxity. Here at the Mayfair Practice we aim to improve this with NIR Near Infrared Technology by Alma Lasers to improve lax and tired skin on:
- Face
- Neck
- Jowls
- Décolleté
NIR uses a high power light source to safely achieve skin firming and tightening as it heats the dermal tissue without damage to the epidermis.
The radio frequency and infrared energies send heat to the deeper layers of the skin and this causes collagen shrinkage which smooths out lines and wrinkle, therefore the skin looks smoother and feels firmer.
This comfortable non-invasive treatment is suitable for all skin types and has no downtime.
The Skin Tightening hand-piece glides over the treatment area to deliver uniform energy distribution and effectively targets lipids and connective tissue. This safe heat-induced collagen shrinkage and micro-thermal injury help smooth out lines and tighten skin.
The treatment steps:
- The skin is cleaned if required
- A baseline temperature will be taken of the area to be treated
- Cooling gel will be applied to allow the hand-piece to glide smoothly
- NIR/ST tip will be in contact with the skin and in motion at all times until a temperature of 40-42 degrees is achieved, it will be maintained for some time
- You will feel a gradual build up of heat in the treated area, this is normal
- Your practitioner will be communicating with you at all times to ensure the treatment is as comfortable as possible.
Results are achieved over 4-6 sessions at 1-2 week intervals, and with no pain or downtime you can leave the clinic and return to your normal activities immediately. Top up treatments 1-2 a year or more to maintain consistent collagen production.
