Infrared Light for Skin Tightening (ST)
ST uses controlled
infrared light pulses, which have a longer wavelength
than either the LED or HEFL
lights. This longer wavelength allows the ST light to passes through
the epidermis, the surface layer of the skin, and into the very
deep layers of the skin, including the dermis and hypodermis. Here,
the ST light energy is selectively absorbed by the skin, causing
contraction of tissues and firming of the skin. Skin
texture is improved and fine lines and wrinkles are diminished.
A side benefit of the absorption of this light is that collagen
production is also stimulated. As with the other CSL treatments
based on other components of the light spectrum, no “red face”
is produced and recovery is immediate. In fact, many
clients notice a tighter feeling to their skin immediately
following treatment. The skin tightening is based on restoring contraction
to sagging tissue. Therefore it produces a naturally firm and healthy
look, not the artificially tight appearance which can, at times,
result from plastic surgery face lifts.
