SkinTyte™ Skin Tightening

Have you started to notice skin laxity around your face, neck, or other areas of your body? Collagen, the protein that makes up your skin’s structural network, decreases with age, leaving your skin with a less resilient framework. You may think surgery is the only way to restore your youthful firmness and definition, but you can achieve these goals with non-invasive SkinTyte™.

At Capital Laser & Skin Care, we recommend SkinTyte™ to almost anyone seeking smoother, tighter skin without pain, incisions, or time off from work. It uses skin-safe infrared energy to create more collagen formation deep in your dermis, adding strength and resilience.

Learn More About SkinTyte™ Skin Tightening

SkinTyte™ is a non-surgical treatment that tightens skin on the face, neck, and body by increasing collagen production. It works by using infrared light energy to heat the deep tissues of the dermis without harming the skin. The heat triggers cells called fibroblasts to become more active, adding new collagen to the skin to make it stronger and more lifted.

Because SkinTyte™ triggers collagen formation, it makes skin look and feel more youthful and firm. Some of the most popular areas to have SkinTyte™ treatments include:

  • Face
  • Jawline
  • Neck
  • Decollete
  • Back
  • Buttocks
  • Abdomen
  • Arms
  • Legs

SkinTyte™ is powered by the advanced BBL® HERO™️ system, which utilizes broadband light energy to transform and rejuvenate your skin. If you have concerns about skin texture or pigmentation in addition to laxity, discuss them during your consultation.

You should arrive for your SkinTyte™ treatment with clean, product-free skin. When you arrive, a cooling gel is applied to your face to keep it comfortable. Most people do not need any form of numbing and feel little to no discomfort. The handpiece is moved over your skin, and you may feel some warmth as it heats the dermal layers.

The length of your session depends on the size and number of areas being treated. Your face and neck can be treated in about 30 minutes, with larger areas requiring a bit more time. We will tell you how long your visit will last so you can plan accordingly. Most people will need three to six treatments to see their desired results. 

The new collagen produced in your dermis is added to the skin gradually over the next few months. You may start to notice improvements in your skin’s firmness after a few weeks, but full results will take three to four months to develop. Your skin will become tighter, and you will notice improved definition in areas like the jawline.

Results from SkinTyte™ can last two years or more, especially with a consistent skincare routine and diligent sun protection. We recommend maintenance treatments as needed to keep your skin firm and lifted. The results of this treatment are not as dramatic as surgery, but SkinTyte™ has fewer risks and none of the recovery time of a surgical procedure.

Your skin may look red or flushed after your SkinTyte™ treatment. These effects usually fade within an hour. You can return to your usual activities immediately with no downtime. However, your skin will be very sun-sensitive, so avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen. The lack of downtime makes SkinTyte™ a convenient option for busy individuals who cannot take time off from work.

Almost anyone can enjoy the benefits of SkinTyte™. It is safe for all skin types and tones, and the infrared light protects your skin from injury. You may be a good candidate for this treatment if you:

  • Are in overall good health
  • Have reasonable expectations
  • Want to tighten loose skin on your body, face, or neck
  • Prefer a non-surgical option
  • Have mild to moderate but not severe skin laxity

Only a consultation can determine whether SkinTyte™ will help you achieve your skin tightening goals. We offer a wide range of treatment options to make healthier, smoother, more even skin available to anyone.
