SkinTyte™       

What is SkinTyte?

New advances in light energy have led to the development of a non-invasive treatment of skin laxity which is safer and more effective than ever before. SkinTyte offers safe infrared light energy and advanced skin cooling technology to comfortably deliver heat below the skin's surface for increased tissue tightening and reduced skin laxity.  This technology is used to selectively heat the dermal collagen deep in your skin while at the same time cooling prior-to, during, and after treatment, reducing pain and minimizing internal thermal injury to adjacent skin structures. The result is partial coagulation and contraction of collagen which tightens the skin.  Skin Tyte Treatments were developed to consistently and predictably improve the visible appearance of the skin with no down time. Skin Tyte treatments may be used over any areas of the body that present aged, photo damaged skin such as neck, chest, hands and arms.

Which area of the body can be treated with SkinTyte?

SkinTyte treatment is safe for all skin types 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.

How is the treatment done?

A Skin Tyte procedure is a series of gentle and safe pulsed infrared light energy treatments. The treatments are done with a specially equipped light beam. Most individuals requires 2-5 sessions. Each session is spaced at an interval of 3-4 weeks.  Because of the novel mechanism of action, optimal results from dermal remodeling are seen over a three to six month period.  This treatment takes about 30 minutes per area, and is done in the office.

What are the advatages of SkinTyte?

You can have glowing, smooth, blush-free skin with finer lines and more youthful looking skin with no need to take time off from work or play. You can usually go to work the same day or the following day. No procedure has ever been developed that can accomplish so much with such low risk and no down time.

Does Skin Tyte have side effects after skin treatment?

Yes. Most side effects are mild and of short duration. These can consist of short term discomfort during the actual treatment. There is usually additional redness immediately following treatment, lasting less than 24 hours in most people, on rare occasions it may last up to three days. Mild blistering and bruising is possible but in our experience occur in less than 1% and usually clear very quickly.

Will I need additional treatments?

After the initial series of 3-5 treatments, maintenance sessions are often needed. Proper caring for the skin will help diminish the likelihood of future treatments. Reports show patients return every six months for a follow-up treatment because they love the way the treatment improves their appearance.
