Skin Tightening – Near Infrared (780-950nm)
The Alma Harmony skin tightening hand piece treats conditions of loose and sagging skin caused by aging, especially around the neck, eye and facial area. By penetrating deep into the dermal layer it creates a firming of the tissue through two processes. Firstly it causes shrinking of the collagen which tightens the tissue beneath the skin and secondly it causes what is knows as micro-thermal injury which simulates repair and regeneration of the dermal layer without damage to the epidermal layer of skin. A series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart can create tighter, fresher looking skin with virtually no downtime.
Who Is in Need of Skin Tightening?
Patients who want to restore firmness and tightness to drooping loose skin without undergoing surgery are the perfect candidates for skin tightening. Patients must have realistic expectations and should also be in good health.
Too much drinking or smoking could have detrimental effects on the benefits of this treatment. Patients who have recently undergone surgery and are still recovering must heal completely before proceeding with this treatment.
Your Consultation
In order to undergo skin-tightening treatments, patients will need to first schedule a consultation. During this consultation, the details of the treatment will be explained. Patients will need to answer questions about their health, medical history, and expectations.
If patients have any questions or concerns regarding the treatment, they can bring them up at this time. Topics like the cost of the treatment can be discussed, as well as the proper ways to prepare for it.
Skin Tightening Aftercare
Skin tightening involves no long recovery periods or downtime. Patients can simply come in for treatment and return to their regular activities right after. Additional details for caring for the affected areas are available for patients upon request.
How Much Does Skin Tightening Cost?
