Skin Tightening
Skin Tightening is an excellent treatment for those who desire a firmer, more youthful-appearing skin on any area of the body.
Collagen renewal leading to increased skin firmness and noticeable skin rejuvenation in the treated areas.
Skin Tightening treatments are safe for all skin types and can be performed on any area of the body where an improvement in your skin firmness is desired.
Popular areas include the face, neck, abdomen, thighs and arms.
Skin Tightening is achieved using Sciton's SkinTyte BBL pulsed light technology. The procedure utilizes infrared energy to deeply heat dermal collagen. This process promotes partial denaturation and contraction of collagen. The heat also initiates the body’s natural healing process, which creates a renewed collagen foundation leading to increased skin firmness. Powerful cooling maintains the outer surface of your skin at a cool temperature before, during, and after each pulse providing you with a comfortable and safe procedure.
SkinTyte can be provided quickly and comfortably with no downtime. The SkinTyte light energy is delivered in a sequence of rapid, gentle pulses. There is no need for a topical anesthetic, however, your physician may choose to use one on more sensitive areas. A series of pulses will be repeated over the treatment area to ensure best results. While the face and neck can typically be treated within 30 minutes, the actual time will depend on the area treated. The end result is a more youthful appearance.
The number of treatments needed will vary from patient to patient and your physician can personalize a treatment plan based on the level of improvement you desire. Your physician may also combine Skin Tightening with other esthetic procedures to further personalize your treatment.
Skin Tightening procedure results may vary from patient to patient. The Skin Tightening procedure is recommended for patients who desire moderate, noticeable skin improvement without having to undergo surgery. Full results often take up to four months as the collagen foundation of your skin is rebuilt and strengthened.
You may experience some mild redness in the treated area immediately after treatment and this should return to normal within minutes. Since the Skin Tightening procedure is non-invasive, there is no downtime so you can resume regular activities immediately following treatment. You can also apply makeup and sunscreen after each session. No special skin care regimen is required following treatment. However, you should always protect your skin from direct sun exposure and use a good sunscreen. Your physician can also recommend an at home skin care regimen if desired.
