SkinTyte
SkinTyte, a treatment developed by Sciton is a non-invasive light therapy that tightens loose skin with no downtime. SkinTyte utilizes a broad spectrum of light that delivers energy into the dermal layer of your skin. This energy creates a thermal injury. Your body's natural response to this type of thermal injury is to create more collagen. More collagen helps restore elactisity to your skin, therefore tightening the tissue.
There have been many devices marketed for this type of procedure. One of the most common is Thermage. We utilized Thermage in our clinic for three years. Thermage utilizes radio frequency to create a thermal injury and therefore tighten tissue. The drawback to Thermage is that the cost of the treatment makes it too expensive to do multiple treatments, which are needed to give you the best results. We can perform 5 SkinTyte treatments for approximately the cost of one Thermage treatment and therefore the results we see are far superior.
The most common areas we treat with SkinTyte include:
- Lower Face
- Neck
- Forehead
