What Is SkinTyte?
SkinTyte uses the same powerful light-based technology as BBL® PhotoFacial treatments, delivering advanced infrared light to heat the skin’s deeper layers while cooling the surface at the same time. Rapid, gentle pulses of light energy trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. These proteins are the building blocks of firmer, smoother skin.
Is SkinTyte Right for You?
Women and men concerned about mild to moderate loose skin and who want a gentle, non-invasive, no-downtime treatment can benefit from SkinTyte. It’s especially effective for patients who want to reduce jowls, have firmer abdominal skin, and tighten loose skin on the upper arms.
What Happens During a SkinTyte Treatment?
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the treatment, unlike other nonsurgical skin tightening procedures that use ultrasound technology. Topical numbing cream isn’t necessary, although a provider may use it for more sensitive areas. Your provider applies a gel to the treatment area before the procedure and then glides the SkinTyte applicator across the skin. As it delivers pulses of light energy, a cooling tip ensures the skin’s surface never gets too warm. Treatments involving the face and neck typically take about 30 minutes, but each procedure is different and the treatment time depends on the size of the area or areas targeted.
