SKINTYTE
SkinTyte is the non-surgical lift! It is an innovative and non-invasive treatment that delivers powerful infra-red energy into the skin to tighten and prevent aging and sagging skin. It is a safe and great option to improve jawline definition, tighten loose neck skin, and to improve elasticity on the body including areas such as the abdomen, arms, and inner thighs.
Aging skin can become loose and wrinkled over time due to decreased collagen, elastin, genetics and free radicals (air pollutants, UV radiation). This can add years to your appearance. Thankfully with SkinTyte we can reverse and slow this process down!
How the Procedure Works
SkinTyte uses advanced infrared energy to deeply heat the water in the dermis. This stimulates powerful collagen contractions and initiates the body’s healing process to produce new collagen and elastin. While stimulating new collagen it also tightens existing collagen leading to an increased tightness and firmness.
What the procedure Feels Like
SkinTyte delivers light energy in a sequence of quick and gentle pulses into the skin. Multiple pulses will be repeated over the treatment area to ensure best results. During the treatment, patients will feel heat which will increase in intensity until the optimal target temperature of the skin is achieved.
WHo is a good candidate
SkinTyte is safe for all skin types and is recommended for anyone who notice a decrease in elasticity and sagging skin around the face, neck or body. SkinTyte is generally best suited for patients who have mild to moderate skin laxity and do not need the more dramatic lifting and skin removal.
number of treatments
For best results, 5 sessions are recommended and spaced out approximately 2 weeks apart. Results are long term, however, maintenance sessions are required as skin does not stop aging and loses elasticity prematurely from free radicals (air pollutants, UV radiation) and depending on lifestyle.
WHAT to EXPECT immediately AFTER TREATMENT
You may experience some mild redness and warmth immediately after the treatment that will linger for next 30 minutes or so. Avoid strenuous exercise and extended heat exposure for 12 hours.
when to expect results
Results can be seen as early as 4-6 weeks and gradual improvement will continue over the course of several months. Best results will be seen in about 6 months. Results can last over 2 years with the right skin care and maintenance treatments. However, due to the skin contractions during the treatment, some collagen fibers tighten immediately and is noticeable right after treatment.
