SkinTyte

Overview

SkinTyte is a non-invasive infrared light treatment designed to firm sagging or lax skin and stimulate collagen, providing an effective non-surgical alternative for patients who aren’t ready for a facelift or surgical lift. SkinTyte is safe, comfortable, and suitable for a wide range of skin types.

How SkinTyte Works

SkinTyte uses advanced infrared light technology to deliver gentle, deeply penetrating heat to the dermis. This controlled heating causes immediate collagen contraction and partial coagulation that triggers the body’s natural healing response. Over the following weeks and months, as the skin heals, it produces new collagen and elastin—the structural proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity—for a tighter, more youthful appearance.

Because SkinTyte is non-ablative, the skin’s surface remains intact: no shedding, no peeling, and minimal downtime.

What to Expect

Before

Your visit begins with a consultation. Avoid sun exposure for at least 2 weeks before treatment.

During

The treatment typically takes 30—45 minutes depending on the area. SkinTyte uses sapphire-cooled contact cooling for comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm, deep heat that is well-tolerated.

After

Mild redness and warmth typically resolve within a few hours. Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Use SPF 30+ daily.

Results and Longevity

Many patients notice some immediate firming from collagen contraction, with continued improvement over 3—6 months as new collagen develops. A series of 3—5 SkinTyte sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart is often recommended for optimal results. Periodic maintenance treatments help preserve firmness over time.

Individual results vary. Your provider will discuss a realistic outlook during your consultation.
