02 / DETAILS THAT MATTERSTART WITH YOUR CONCERNS
More than a treatment.
A conversation.
Bring your questions about skin firmness, changes in texture or an area you would like assessed. These are starting points for a consultation, rather than a promise that NIR will address every concern.
Facial firmness
Discuss early changes in skin firmness and what a non-surgical approach may offer.
Neck & jawline
Ask whether your concerns relate to skin laxity or need a different treatment approach.
Other areas
Have your clinician confirm which areas can be treated with the available device.
Non-invasive treatment does not provide the same degree of lifting as surgery.
03 / YOUR VISIT, EXPLAINED
From your first question
to your next step.
Talk & assess
Share your goals, health history, medicines and recent procedures. Discuss suitability, alternatives, costs and risks.
Plan & prepare
Agree on the area and proposed treatment plan. Your clinician explains preparation and any protective measures.
Treat & communicate
The clinician carries out the agreed treatment. Let them know how your skin feels throughout your visit.

04 / BEFORE & AFTER
Good care continues
beyond your visit.
Help us understand your skin.
- Share your current medicines, supplements and skincare products.
- Mention recent cosmetic procedures, skin irritation or infection, and any pregnancy.
- Ask which products or activities to pause, and for how long. Do not stop prescribed medicines without medical advice.
Follow your individual plan.
- Follow the clinic’s instructions on cleansing, skincare and returning to your routine.
- Protect your skin from the sun; ask your clinician about suitable sun protection.
- Contact the clinic promptly about blistering, worsening pain or unexpected skin changes.
Your clinician’s device-specific instructions take priority over general information on this page.
05 / EXPECTATIONS
Clear advice.
No fixed promises.
The right starting point is an honest assessment of what treatment may achieve for you.
Ask about likely improvement, how progress will be reviewed and whether a course of treatment is appropriate. Avoid planning around a guaranteed result or a fixed number of sessions.
Any clinical photographs discussed during your consultation should be considered alongside their context: treatment plan, time between images and individual response.

Call +92 300 5272909 ↗What does NIR mean?
NIR stands for near-infrared. In aesthetic treatment, near-infrared energy can be used to deliver heat to the skin. Your clinician will explain the device and protocol proposed for you.
Is NIR the same as laser hair removal?
No. The NIR service described here focuses on skin appearance and firmness. Soprano Titanium hair removal is a separate service with a different treatment goal.
Is it suitable for my skin?
Suitability depends on your skin condition, medical history, current medicines, recent procedures and the device being used. A consultation is needed before deciding whether to proceed.
What will the treatment feel like?
Heat-based treatment can cause warmth and discomfort. Tell your clinician how your skin feels throughout the session, especially if the sensation becomes painful.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no single course that suits everyone. The clinician will recommend a schedule after assessing your concerns and will review how your skin responds before advising further sessions.
When will I see a change?
The degree and timing of improvement vary. Skin-tightening changes can be gradual, and some people may notice little improvement. Your consultation should cover realistic expectations and a review point.
Is there any downtime or risk?
Temporary redness or swelling can follow non-invasive skin-tightening treatments. Heat-based treatments can also cause burns or pigment changes. Ask about the risks for your skin and the specific device, and follow your clinician’s aftercare instructions.
How much does NIR cost?
Contact LARC for an individual quotation after discussing the treatment area and proposed plan. Ask what is included in the price and whether follow-up visits are charged separately.
