Skin Tightening

The AFT ST module of the platform Harmony is a non-invasive method for skin recontouring and skin tightening through effective heating in depth of the derma which stimulates the synthesis of new collagen.

The AFT ST module gives the same distribution of energy for effective treatment of lipids and connective tissue without damaging the epidermis.

Operational mechanism

The area is thermally heated as a result of the absorption of optical energy penetrating into the skin. The thermal heating of tissues decreases proportionally to the reached greater depths.

The AFT ST module emits light in the spectrum of 780-1000nm (close to infrared light) which is optimal for direct heating of the subcutaneous tissue (connective tissue and proteins) and is characterized by poor absorption by the epidermal tissue which makes the therapy mild to the skin surface.

Skin recontouring is a biophysical process that is manifested on a cellular and molecular level through the effect of optical energy. The AFT ST module achieves skin tightening with the help of two mechanisms:

     * Thermally induced stretching of collagen fibers and micro-thermal effect
     * Regeneration of the derma and its recontouring
