SkinTyte is a skin tightening treatment that offers a non-ablative approach to firmer skin. The SkinTyte treatment is based on the priciple of selective thermolysis and utilizes the SCITON'S BBL pulsed light technology to deeply heat your skin while cooling and protecting the entire treated surface. SkinTyte can be provided quickly and comfortably with no downtime. The end result is a more youthful appearance.

How does SkinTyte work?

The SkinTyte procedure utilizes a broadband of light energy to deeply heat dermal collagen. This process promotes partial denaturation and contraction of collagen. The heat also initiates the bodys 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 the patient a comfortable and safe procedure.

What should I expect during the treatment?

The SkinTyte light energy is delivered in a sequence of rapid, gentle pulses. There is generally no need for a topical anesthetic, however, the medical team 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 be treated within 30 minutes, actual time will depend on the area treated.

What should I expect after the treatment?

You may experience some mild reddness in the treated area immediately after and this should return to normal within minutes. There is no downtime and you can resume regular activities immediately following your treatment. You can also apply make-up and sunscreen after each session.

What results should I expect?

The SkinTyte is in no way a substitute for a face-lift and results may vary from patient to patient. The SkinTyte procedure is recommended for patients who desire minimal to moderate, noticeable skin improvement without having to undergo invasive treatments or surgery.Full results often take months as the collagen foundation of your skin is rebuilt and strengthened.

How many treatments will I need?

Typically, a series of 3-5 treatments with one-month intervals is common. Dr. Doucette will create and personalize a treatment plan based on the level of improvement you desire. Dr. Doucette may also combine SkinTyte with other popular cosmetic procedures to further maximize the results of your treatment.

What post-care do I need?

No special skincare regime is required folllowing your treatment. However, you should always protect your skin from direct sun exposure and use a good sunscreen. Dr. Doucette and the staff at Image can also recommend home care skin products that will help maximize your treatment results.
