SkinTyte™
This is a light-based system that is used to treat skin laxity or sagginess. With this treatment, we use light-based energy to tighten the skin. The system uses infrared energy and pulsed light to heat the dermal collagen – at the same time, we use cooling technology to protect the surface of the skin. The procedure helps to cause contraction of collagen. We recommend this treatment under the eyes (eye bags), jowls/jawline, neck, hands and abdomen.

# OF TREATMENTS
6 initial, consecutive treatments with continued maintenance
BEFORE the treatment
- Good sun safety recommended at least 4 weeks prior to the treatment.
DURING the treatment
- We will cleanse the skin. We will use pulsed light over the skin and this will give a warming sensation (although this should not be overly painful).
AFTER the treatment
- You may have warmth and redness over the skin. We typically recommend 3-6 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart. To maintain the appearance, we do recommend periodic maintenance treatments.
