Skin Tightening

The Palomar Lux IR handpiece 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 results in overall skin tightening.

The Lux IR 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.

Our Lux IR uses 3-stage cooling. It cools the skin before, during, and after each light pulse, so that there is very little discomfort.

What Should I Expect After Treatment?
You may experience lingering warmth, tightness, or redness in the treated area, which fades quickly. The healing process and lingering effects usually quickly resolve.
A series of treatments at 4-6 week intervals are the best approach to achieve the desired result of tighter skin in the face, arms, abdomen, and other areas.
