SKIN TIGHTENING
THROUGH INFRARED LIGHT

View Before and After Photos

Smoother, tighter skin doesn’t need to be a distant memory.  The Grace Clinic now offers a new and effective method of tightening wrinkled and sagging skin on the face, abdomen, upper arms, and other areas, through infrared light pulses.

How does this work?

The laser used at The Grace Clinic delivers infrared light deep into the dermis.  This light causes soft tissue coagulation which leads to remodeling of the collagen within the dermis.  The remodeled collagen fills in wrinkles and sagging, for overall skin tightening.

What makes these treatments different from others?

Rather than using one large beam to deliver infrared light into the skin, we use the “fractional” approach:  delivering an array of small beams.  Each beam creates a heated column in the dermis, which is surrounded by an unaffected area.  The unaffected tissue stimulates quicker collagen remodeling, and faster healing. 

Are these treatments safe?  Are they painful?

The fractional method is much safer and more comfortable than the bulk heating approach of many other systems because it leaves so much of the skin unaffected by the light pulses.  There are 3 stages of cooling.  The skin is cooled before, during and after each light pulse, so you feel little discomfort during the treatment.

What should I expect after treatment?

You may experience lingering warmth, tightness, or redness in the treated area, which fades within a few hours of treatment.  Because so much of the skin is unaffected by the light pulses, there is a quick healing process.  Generally, you can receive a treatment and go back to work or to other activities without any recovery time.
