Our Philosophy

With aging, we experience a loss of firmness in the skin. These early signs of aging usually affect the neck and jawline first and make you appear older than your years. Even though you can’t stop aging or escape the effects of gravity, SkinTyte™ can be a great way to rejuvenate your skin without downtime.

What is SkinTyte?

SkinTyte is a non-invasive procedure designed to help you achieve firmer skin. It uses broadband light energy that deeply heats the collagen in your skin, promoting its natural production. The uniform and targeted heat from the procedure also initiates the natural healing process of your body, which creates a renewed collagen foundation and increases the firmness of your skin.

SkinTyte is also unique in its ability to precisely cool your skin both before and during the procedure. This ensures that there is no damage to your skin due to overheating. The treatment also requires no downtime, allowing you to return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.

Some of the concerns SkinTyte address includes:

• Treats skin laxity and sagging
• Improves skin texture and smoothness
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Plumps the skin
• Promotes collagen production
• Tightens the neck area

Before Your Procedure

Before your SkinTyte treatment, there are a few things you’ll want to do to ensure your skin is ready for treatment. You’ll want to stop any use of retinol five days beforehand. You can resume use once your skin is no longer sensitive after treatment.

You’ll also want to avoid excess sun exposure for two weeks before treatment. Additionally, stay away from self-tanning products. You’ll also want to wear SPF 30 or higher sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection.

During Your Procedure

During the SkinTyte procedure, your provider will apply the broadband light to your skin. They will pass it over the treatment area four times. Each pass will deliver a gentle heat and stimulate collagen production, but it never gets hotter than is comfortable for your skin.

Powerful cooling maintains just the right temperature for your skin before, during, and after each pulse.

After Your Procedure

After the SkinTyte procedure, you may experience some redness and a slight sunburn sensation in and around the area. This is completely normal. It should resolve by itself within 1-4 hours after treatment.

You’ll want to avoid scratching or picking your skin and using scented lotions and soaps, exfoliants, acne creams, and scrubbing. You’ll also want to avoid hot or cold water. Only wash with lukewarm water.

Additionally, avoid shaving, swimming pools, and strenuous activities that cause excessive sweating. Stay out of the sun as much as possible for at least a week after treatment. Keep the area covered and use SPF 30 or more.

You can use a cold compress or ice pack for your comfort, but this is rarely needed. You can apply makeup immediately after as long as you don’t experience any blistering. If you do have blistering, antibiotic cream can be applied.

Understand The Risks

The only risks that come with the SkinTyte procedure are some mild redness, a sunburn-like sensation, and some possible blistering, but all of these tend to clear up very quickly. Scarring and infection can occur, but it’s extremely rare.

Results of SkinTyte

You’ll likely see the final results four months after treatment as collagen production starts and begins to buildup and strengthen your skin.

Your provider will let you know if you need more than one treatment. Those treatments will need to be 2-4 weeks apart, and the number of treatments you’ll need depend on the results you’re looking for.
