WHAT WE OFFER
At your initial consultation with Dr. Nikko, our staff will work with you to decide if the nonsurgical skin tightening is a good fit for your skin. During this time we will also discuss the following treatment options in greater detail.

Exilis Ultra 360™

Uses RF skin tightening and ultrasound energy to reduce fat in areas such as the abdomen and buttocks. Thanks to its innovative technology, treatments are quick and comfortable. The results will yield tighter, younger-looking skin that is bright and firm.

Vanquish™

This treatment uses radiofrequency to reduce fat in the hips, love handles, and stomach. It is an ideal option for those who have a larger treatment area they’d like to address. Results are gradual but long lasting.

Cellutone™

Cellutone uses high-end vibration technology to reduce cellulite in the abdomen and thighs. With this specific vibration energy, the overall appearance of cellulite is reduced and skin tone is significantly improved. This is a great treatment option for men and women who are not ready to undergo traditional liposuction.

INFINI

Provides skin tightening through microneedles in a quick and effective nonsurgical treatment. The INFINI hand piece contains 49 microscopic needles that are deployed through the skin’s surface. Once deployed, the INFINI microneedle tips conduct radiofrequency energy into predetermined depths of the dermis, a huge advantage over traditional microneedling devices.

IDEAL CANDIDATES

Nonsurgical skin tightening is ideal for candidates who have just lost a significant amount of weight or who have skin that is loose and saggy. Often men and women who are between the ages of 30 – 60 are great candidates. If you have extreme skin laxity, a surgical treatment may be the best option to achieve the results you desire.

TREATMENT

During your appointment, you will be treated in our comfortable minor procedure room. Our trained aesthetician will clean and prep the area, adding a numbing cream if you are nervous about any discomfort. The aesthetician will then guide the handheld device over the desired area. This treatment will stimulate the body’s natural healing process and boost collagen production to reveal a refreshed appearance. The nonsurgical skin tightening procedure is customized to fit your skin condition and type, so each patient will experience a different length of treatment. Little to no downtime is expected, with the slight pinkness fading within 24 hours.

ANTICIPATED RESULTS

While many patients may require multiple touch-ups, most report improvement after just one treatment. Side effects following INFINI are mild in nature, making this a minimal downtime treatment. As the micro-coagulation sites heal, the collagen production is jumpstarted so that the skin regains elasticity. Wrinkles are smoothed over, acne scars fade, and loose skin around the neck and jowls are tightened. For patients with very vascular skin, there may be mild pinpoint bleeding and a very small chance of bruising. The healing time is minimal and patients can wear makeup 24 hours after the treatment. The skin may feel slightly rough to the touch for 2 – 3 days.

SKIN TIGHENING FAQS

CAN IT BE COMBINED?

Yes. For example, wrinkles around the eyes can be treated with INFINI followed by Belotero. For rejuvenation around the mouth for vertical lip lines, INFINI treatment can be combined with hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvéderm.

DOES IT HURT?

It can be a bit uncomfortable. A topical numbing ointment is applied prior to the procedure. According to a large study of almost 500 patients on three continents, INFINI patients reported discomfort as mild in nature and similar to a mild sting or snap.

WHAT IS RF AND MICRONEEDLING?

Radiofrequency is essentially electrical energy. RF technologies used in the skin deliver this electrical energy into the skin and/or collagen, heating the targeted area. Collagen must be heated to approximately 60 degrees Celsius to produce new collagen and subsequently attain tissue tightening and remodeling.

Microneedling is the process of using very small sterilized needles on the skin for collagen induction. Traditional micro needling utilizes a stamp or roller and is not associated with a light or energy device. The INFINI hand piece contains 49 microscopic needles that are deployed through the skin’s surface. Once deployed, the INFINI microneedle tips conduct radiofrequency energy into predetermined depths of the dermis, a huge advantage over traditional microneedling devices.
