SkinTyte uses laser technology to heat the collagen deep under the skin’s surface, causing it to contract and tighten the skin for a smoother and more youthful appearance. As the laser heats the collagen underneath the surface, it cools the outermost layer of the skin. Once the light absorbs within the dermis, it consists of two phases. The first phase heats the collagen in the upper, middle, and deep dermis. The second phase causes collagen bonds to contract, and soft tissue gets dense. In addition to tightening and firming the skin, SkinTyte can also be used to treat sun damage, acne scars, and age spots. This treatment is safe to use for all skin types. We recommend scheduling at least four treatments every two to three weeks. The procedure usually takes thirty minutes to perform, depending on the areas being treated.
