Skin Tightening

What is "ST"?

ST refers to “Skin Tightening” and has quickly grown into a “BUZZ WORD” in every major magazine and the topic occupies many TV segments. The majority of the baby boomers are in search of a nonsurgical alternative to tighten their aging skin. The ST handpiece, an integral part of the Harmony 360 protocol, is ideal for targeting those telltale signs of aging, including jowl and neck laxity, sagginess under the eyes, droopy brow lines, and nasolabial folds. Using the ST handpiece with near infrared technology, deep dermal heating induces neocollagenesis resulting in an increase in skin firmness. Not the equivalent of a face lift, a series of three to six treatments produces a tighter, fresher appearance — without pain or invasive procedures.

How does it work?

In simple terms, it uses a controlled heat “injury” to the skin, causing collagen to rebuild during the healing process. The end result is an improvement in the appearance of the skin. The ST works with near infrared technology by delivering light energy to effectively targets lipids and connective tissue. It exerts its biological effect on the skin through two major mechanisms, heat-induced collagen shrinkage and micro-thermal injury as well as dermal regeneration, repair (healing) and remodeling. The ST handpiece produces dramatic, yet comfortable deep dermal heating without damage to the epidermis.
