ALMA HARMONY IN MOTION SKIN TIGHTENING
Skin Tightening Therapy (ST)
ST stands for Skin Tightening and it uses near-infrared pulsed light technology to treat wrinkles and skin laxity through deep dermal heating that selectively targets collagen, protein and fat without damage to the epidermis. It heats the inner layer or dermis of the skin, inducing the formation of collagen, essential for a firm, young look. It affects skin tightening, toning and texturing. ST treatments use the same Alma Harmony Light Treatment technology as the AFT.
Compared to other skin tightening treatments (Thermage or Titan) which do not filter out the high water absorption wavelengths that cause pain, ST only targets what really matters in tissue remodeling - collagen, protein and fat. As a result, clients experience little or no pain with the treatment, and can return to their normal activities immediately.
ST is the only technology of its kind to produce immediate results followed by progressive improvement for up to six months. Since collagen growth involves making new substance by the cells, collagen stimulation can take some months to become apparent. However, ST also reaches the deeper layers of the skin causing some immediate wrinkle reduction and skin tightening.
Common areas treated include the face, neck, chest, hands and arms. Like AFT or IPL therapies, Skin Tightening treatments have minimal discomfort, which is quite transient. No red face is produced and there is no 'downtime". Clients can return to their normal routine immediately after treatment. These treatments can be done at the same time as the other treatments.
Skin Tightening is also a part of the Laser 360 protocol which addresses not only loose, sagging skin but also corrects the other signs of aging : fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage and age spots. You can have a younger rejuvenated look in just 60 days. Your skin will look better within days following the treatment and results will steadily improve over the next several months.
