NEAR INFRARED Skin Tightening and Medical Massage
Noticeable skin tightening results are seen with NIR (Near-infrared) skin tightening facial. This amazing technology is a completely painless laser facial with no downtime or side effects.
High-powered light in the near-infrared spectrum reaches the skin’s top layer, gradually heating the sub-dermal tissue, as a result, elastin fibres begin to contract and tighten as it begins. The tissue is heated rather than destroyed which means there is minimal downtime and zero side effects. The NIR skin tightening technology is less aggressive than ablative or fractional laser.
The laser technology uses the body’s natural healing abilities to revitalise symptoms such as:
- dull skin
- relieve slack skin
- crepey skin
- uneven skin
The increase in circulation facilitates lymphatic drainage as well as healing; which makes it effective in providing symptomatic relief in muscular and joint pain as well.
