What is SkinTyte?

SkinTyte is an in-office, non-surgical solution that produces refreshed, younger-looking skin. The device delivers infrared light energy combined with skin cooling technology to heat the tissue beneath the skin’s surface – tightening the target area and reducing laxity. The skin cooling technology minimizes pain and avoids damage to the epidermis, resulting in a comfortable and highly-effective anti-aging treatment.

What can SkinTyte do for you?

In addition to visibly improving skin laxity on the target area, SkinTyte can also result in:

  • Improved skin texture
  • Firmer skin
  • Minimized fine lines and wrinkles
  • Less prominent stretch marks

Common treatment areas

SkinTyte can be applied on all areas of the face and body. Common treatment areas include:

  • Face and neck
  • Abdomen
  • Arms

Your treatment experience

What to expect

Before your SkinTyte appointment, we will thoroughly cleanse your face so that all makeup and creams are removed. We will then place goggles over your eyes to protect them from the light of the device. Depending on your pain threshold, will also apply a soothing gel and topical cream to the treatment area, which can ensure a pleasant experience.

During the procedure, we will deliver gentle, pulsed light energy to the target area. The topical anesthetic will ensure that you don’t feel any pain – even if you have very sensitive skin. The entire session typically takes about 45 minutes per treatment area. Most of our patients require between two and five sessions every few weeks for ideal results.

Recovery and Results

You may experience some minor swelling after your treatment that can persist from two to four days. There is no downtime necessary and you will be free to return to work and your normal daily routine immediately. Temporary side effects include redness and mild bruising in the treatment area. Your skin will remodel itself over the next several months, at which point your full results will be apparent.

Am I a candidate?

SkinTyte is safe for all skin colors and types. It’s best for men and women who want to correct mild to moderate skin laxity. However, it is not appropriate for patients who are:

  • Pregnant
  • Recently sun-tanned
  • Taking Accutane
