Skin Firming with SkinTyte

A non-ablative approach to firmer skin

What is SkinTyte?

The SkinTyte treatment is based on the principle of selective thermolysis and utilizes pulsed light technology to deeply heat your skin while cooling and protecting the entire treated surface. SkinTyte can be provided quickly and comfortably with no downtime. The result is a more youthful appearance.

How does SkinTyte work?

The SkinTyte procedure utilizes infrared energy to heat dermal collagen deeply. This process promotes partial denaturation and contraction of collagen. The heat also initiates the body’s natural healing process, which creates a renewed collagen foundation leading to increased skin firmness. Powerful cooling maintains the outer surface of your skin at a cool temperature before, during, and after each pulse, providing the patient with a comfortable and safe procedure.

What is the treatment like?

The SkinTyte light energy is delivered through rapid, gentle pulses. There is no need for a topical anesthetic. However, your physician may choose to use one on more sensitive areas. Several pulses will be repeated over the treatment area to ensure the best results. While the face and neck can typically be treated within 30 minutes, the actual time will depend on the area treated.

What should I expect after treatment?

You may experience some mild redness in the treated area immediately after treatment, which should return to normal within minutes. Since the SkinTyte procedure is non-invasive, there is no downtime, so you can resume regular activities immediately following treatment. You can also apply makeup and sunscreen after each session.

What results should I expect?

SkinTyte procedure results may vary from patient to patient. The SkinTyte procedure is recommended for patients who desire moderate, noticeable skin improvement without having to undergo surgery. Full results often take up to four months as the collagen foundation of your skin is rebuilt and strengthened.

What areas can be treated?

SkinTyte treatments are safe for all skin colors and can be performed on any area of the body where an improvement in your skin firmness is desired. Popular areas include the face, neck, abdomen, and arms. You should consult your physician regarding the best treatment options for you.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments needed will vary from patient to patient, and your physician can personalize a treatment plan based on your desired improvement. Your physician may also combine SkinTyte with other popular aesthetic procedures to further personalize your treatment.

What aftercare do I need?

No special skin care regimen is required following treatment. However, you should always protect your skin from direct sun exposure and use good sunscreen. Your physician can also recommend an at-home skin care regimen if desired.
