Skin tightening and toning is literally one of the hottest success stories in non-surgical, cosmetic enhancement utilizing heat to tone and restore the skin. The technique employs near infrared light based technology that heats the underlying layers of the skin causing them to tighten and promoting the production of collagen. While results vary, patients see gradual toning of the skin over a three to six month period as collagen production is stimulated. A series of three to six monthly treatments is recommended for best results.
