The basis of the SkinTyte skin tightening treatment is selective thermolysis. Pulsed light technology is used during the procedure to heat the skin while protecting and cooling the entire surface being treated. The procedure is comfortable, fast and has no downtime. The final result is tighter skin and a younger appearance. During the procedure, infrared energy is used to heat the dermal collagen in the deeper layers of the skin. This encourages the partial contraction and denaturation of collagen. The natural healing process of the body is initiated to create a renewed foundation for the collagen to increase the tightness and firmness of the skin. The skin’s outer surface is maintained at a cool temperature due to the cooling pulses prior to, during, and after every pulse. This ensures the treatment is safe and comfortable for the patient.
The SkinTyte treatment consists of a series of gentle, rapid pulses. The pulses are repeated over the selected area to provide the best possible results. The time required for the skin tightening treatment is dependent on the area of the body being treated. There is no downtime because the treatment is non-invasive. This means the normal daily activities of the individual can be resumed once the treatment is complete including the application of sunscreen and makeup.
The Specifics of SkinTyte
There is a variation in results from person to person. The SkinTyte treatment is recommended for people desiring a noticeable improvement in their skin without the need for surgery. It can take some time for the collagen foundation to strengthen and rebuild. The skin tightening treatment is safe for all different skin colors and may be performed anywhere on the body a tightness of the skin is desired. The most commonly treated areas are the neck, face, arms, and abdomen.
The number of treatments necessary depend on the specific improvements desired by the individual. You will not need to adhere to any special skin care routine after your treatment. This being said, protecting your skin from direct exposure to the sun with a good sunscreen is very important. This will help prevent damage to your skin in the future. SkinTyte uses the technology of an advanced infrared light. The filters are custom tailored for every patient to ensure heating of the deep dermal collagen and the protection of the epidermis. The contact cooling ensures both your comfort and safety during your treatment.
Gentle, rapid pulses of energy encourage the contraction of your collagen which initiates the natural healing process of your body. This is what firms and tightens your tissues and skin.
