FACTS AND FAQs

WHAT IS TISSUE TIGHTENING?

Infrared Tissue Tightening is a new procedure involving the use of infrared light to deeply heat the tissues in the dermis and subcutaneous space. The result is an immediate tightening of the skin and creation of new collagen, which further tightens the skin over the next 6 months. There is no visible damage or "down time." Treatment is safe and painless.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Light is produced in the infrared range of wavelengths designed to heat the non-pigmented deeper tissue of the skin. This results in both an immediate and a delayed tightening of the skin.

Because the tightening effect is spread out over the whole area there is no distortion of the tissue as is sometimes seen with surgical tightening procedures

WHAT IS THE TREATMENT LIKE?

The treatment is performed in the office. The area to be treated is covered with a layer of clear ultrasound gel to facilitate movement of the treatment tip over the skin, as well as to enhance the protection of the skin.

Multiple individual spots will be treated with the treatment tip, which automatically cools the spot, administers the energy as a "shot" and then cools the spot again. The treatment tip will feel cold on your skin both before and after each "shot". During the actual "shot" the tip will remain cold and painless.

The energy level will be adjusted, so that you feel comfortable. You will need to wear protective eyeglasses or goggles to protect your eyes from the IPL light.

After the procedure, the treated areas of the skin may be mildly red and swollen. This usually resolves over the next 24-hour period. The skin may also have a temporary stinging or burning sensation. This usually resolves within a few hours or less. Make-up can be worn immediately following the procedure.

FAQs

	What kind of problems may be treated?

Infrared light can treat lax or sagging skin. It is commonly used in the face and neck areas but can be used anywhere on the body, including the belly, arms and legs. It has been called a "facelift without surgery".

	Are the results permanent ?

No procedure should be viewed as completely permanent. Skin tightening obtained from the tightening procedure should last for years. You may require up to 3 treatments approximately 1 month apart in order to see the expected results. One way to reduce the effects of aging is to avoid exposure to UV light (or sun).

This is a great procedure for anyone who is not ready or willing to have a surgical facelift. The results are natural with overall tightening which does not distort facial features.
