Clinical Applications

Safe and optimized for all skin types, SkinTyte can predictably, effectively, and comfortably treat any area of the body where improvement is desired, giving you a firmer, more youthful appearance.

Science + Technology

SkinTyte utilizes advanced infrared light technology, and individual-tailored filters to deeply heat dermal collagen while continuously protecting the treated epidermis with sapphire contact cooling for optical clinical endpoints, safety, and comfort. With no need for a topical anesthetic, the energy is delivered in rapid, gentle pulses to promote contraction and partial coagulation of the collagen, initiating the body’s natural healing process, leading to the appearance of firmer tissue.

What is SkinTyte?

New advances in light energy have led to the development of a non-invasive treatment of skin laxity which is safer and more effective than ever before. Sciton ST Broad Band Light offers safe infrared light energy and advanced skin cooling technology to comfortably deliver heat below the skin's surface for increased tissue tightening and reduced skin laxity.

This ground-breaking new technology is used to selectively heat the dermal collagen deep in your skin while at the same time cooling the epidermis (outer layer of skin) prior-to, during, and after treatment, reducing pain and minimizing internal thermal injury to adjacent skin structures. The result is partial coagulation and contraction of collagen which tightens the skin.

What can SkinTyte do for my skin?

SkinTyte treatment results in a much younger looking skin. The treatment uses a series of pulsed infrared light to improve the appearance of sun damaged and aged skin, as well as decrease patches of facial and neck redness and flushing.

SkinTyte Treatments were developed to consistently and predictably improve the visible appearance of the skin with no down time. Skin Tyte treatments may be used over any area of the body that is aged or sun damaged.

What conditions can Skin Tyte treatment be used for?

As a single mode of therapy, Skin Tyte is useful for treating:

·         Acne scarring

·         Fine facial lines and wrinkling

·         Before or after a face or neck lift surgery

·         Before or after laser resurfacing

·         After chemical peeling

·         After Botox injection for wrinkles

·         After dermal filler injections for wrinkles

·         In combination with micro dermabrasion or HydraFacial

Which area of the body can be treated with Skin Tyte?

Safe and optimized for all skin types, SkinTyte can predictably, effectively, and comfortably treat any area of the body where improvement is desired, giving you a firmer, more youthful appearance.

How does the Skin Tyte work?

The SkinTyte process selectively photocoagulates soft tissue in combination with an integral thermo-electric cooler for use in cooling the epidermis at the treatment site prior to, during and after treatment to reduce pain and minimize heat injury to the adjacent skin structures.

By utilizing a broadband of light energy to heat dermal collagen, this process promotes the partial denaturation and contraction of collagen. The heat also stimulates the body's natural healing process which generates a renewed, firmer collagen base that leads to skin tightening.

Before & After

How do I prepare for my Skin Tyte treatment?

Prior to your appointment, all facial make-up, ointments or creams must be removed. Men will be asked to shave on the day of treatment prior to arrival at the office.

For those with recent blisters on the face, the treatment may be delayed. Any recent facial infection, including herpetic sores may lead to a delay in the treatment. All skin infections and other lesions must be completely healed before Skin Tyte treatment can be done.

Prior to the procedure, eye shields/goggles will be placed around the eyes. For those who are very sensitive to pain, a soothing gel will be placed on the skin prior to treatment, which will help reduce discomfort.

How is the procedure done?

A Skin Tyte procedure is a series of gentle and safe pulsed infrared light energy treatments. The treatments are done with a specially equipped light beam. Most individuals requires 2-5 sessions. Each session is spaced at an interval of 3-4 weeks.

This treatment takes about 45 minutes per area, and is done in the office. The most commonly treated areas are the face, neck, and upper chest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients do not need any general or IV sedation, but a topical cream can be applied 30-60 minutes prior to the treatment eliminating most discomfort. For those with sensitive skin, every precaution is taken to prevent pain and relieve the anxiety.

There is minimal facial swelling the first day but one can wear make up soon afterwards. Optimal results from dermal remodeling are seen over a three to six month period. Most patients require an average of 3 treatments spaced one month apart. Because each patient's skin is different, the treatment number can vary. After the procedure you may be asked to ice the area and may be given additional post treatment instructions.

Individuals with aging or irregular skin texture, and those who have skin pigmentation from excessive sun exposure see the best results. Skin Tyte has also helped patients who suffer from photo-aging of the skin, such as pigmentation from sun exposure (age spots) and irregularities of skin texture. Skin Tyte also helps to improve mild acne scars and reduces the pore size on the skin. The therapy can also reduce fine lines around the lips, mouth and eyes.

After the initial series of 3-5 treatments most individuals may require follow up treatment in 2 or more years. To maintain the newer cosmetic look, advice will be given for future skin care.

The majority of patients feel that their skin is tighter after just one treatment, but visible improvements in skin laxity generally take place over three to six months.

Shallow scars from acne and fine lines will be improved, but long standing deep acne scarring cannot be helped with this treatment. Laser resurfacing may be needed for deep scarring.

Yes, however, the procedure does cause moderate amount of swelling and bruising of the eyes and most individuals are not able to go out without dark glasses. The lips are painful for a few days.

You can have glowing, smooth, blush-free skin with finer lines and more youthful looking skin with no need to take time off from work. You can usually go to work the same day or the following day. No procedure has ever been developed that can accomplish so much with such low risk and little down time.

Recovery depends on the area treated. The most invasive treatments may produce enormous improvements, but may require an extended recovery time of multiple weeks. A gentler skin rejuvenation treatment may reduce the appearance of some imperfections and may require little or no downtime. The swelling and bruising usually takes two to four days to disappear.

Most side effects are mild and of short duration. These can consist of short term discomfort during the actual treatment. There is usually additional redness immediately following treatment, lasting less than 24 hours in most people, on rare occasions it may last up to three days. Mild blistering and bruising is possible but occurs in less than 1% of patients and usually clears up very quickly. Post treatment pigmentation has been noted on occasion, but is highly treatable and very rare. Even rarer is a decrease in pigmentation of the skin after treatments. This also clears in time as well. Scarring or infection of the skin after treatment is extremely rare, but it can occur. Swelling of the face for 3-5 days occasionally occurs and is most common in severely sun damaged skin due to reduced quality of connective tissue around the blood vessels.

Typically 75-95% improvement has been reported after a set of treatments. While results vary from patient to patient, there have been reports of 50% improvement in redness and Rosacea, and between 30-40% improvements in pigmentation. Current studies indicate 90% Skin Tyte Rejuvenation patients have a high degree of overall satisfaction with the results.
