Tighten Your Skin & Improve Laxity

Life happens, and, over time, it results in skin that is less taut and less firm. Skin laxity — or what most people call loose, sagging, or drooping skin — happens due to a breakdown of essential substances in your skin, such as collagen. SkinTyte II says no to skin laxity. This infrared light treatment helps strengthen and replenish your skin’s collagen supply to tighten and firm your skin.

What is SkinTyte II?

SkinTyte™ laser skin tightening offers a non-invasive way to achieve tighter, smoother, firmer skin with little to no downtime. Laser skin tightening can 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. The result is partial coagulation and contraction of collagen, which can help tighten the skin.

Am I a Candidate?

If you struggle with lax, saggy skin on your face or body, you may be a good candidate. SkinTyte II is best for addressing common concerns with skin laxity in areas such as the:

Face and neck (Jowls, turkey neck)
Arms
Thighs
Abdomen

What is a Typical Treatment Like?

In the past, the only way to combat skin laxity was with plastic surgery, but thanks to advancements in infrared light treatments, you can experience the same skin tightening benefits with a personalized series of SkinTyte II treatments. SkinTyte II works by gently heating the underlying dermis of the skin with pulsed infrared light energy. This heating of the dermis strengthens existing collagen while also stimulating the production of new collagen, which thickens the skin to tighten and restore firm and youthful contours.

What Results Will I See?*

SkinTyte II is performed as a series of treatments spread about a month apart. Each session takes just under an hour to complete depending on your specific area of concern. You will begin noticing improvements in the look and feel of your skin after about 2-3 months of SkinTyte II treatments.
