Laser Skin Tightening
 
This treatment is great for jowles and mild "looseness" of the skin. It is not limited to face either! A special laser light gently heats the dermal layer of the skin for a lifting effect. Although you may feel a slight snapping sensation, this treatment is very tolerable and there is no downtime required.

  What is SkinTyte?
The SkinTyte treatment is based on the priciple of selective thermolysis and utilizes pulsed light technology to deeply heat you skin while cooling and protecting the entire treated surface. SkinTyte can be privided 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 body's healing process wich 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.
   
  What is the treatment like?
 
The SkinTyte light energy is delivered in a sequence of rapid, gentle pulses. There is no need for a topical anesthetic. A series of pulses will be repeated over the area to ensure maximum results. While the face and neck can be treated in as little as 30 minutes, actual time will depend on the area treated.
   
  What should I expect after the treatment?
 
You may experience some mild redness in the treated area immediately after and this should return to normal within minutes. Since the SkinTyte procedure is non-invasive there is no downtiem so you can resume regular activities immediately following the treatment. You can also apply makeup and sunscreen after each session.
   
  What results should I expect?
 
The SkinTyte procedure is not a substitute for a face-lift and results may vary from patient to patient. The SkinTyte procedure is recommended for patients who desire more 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.
   
  How many treatments will I need?
 
A series of 4 to 6 treatments spaced a month apart is typical for most patients. We may also combine SkinTyte with other laser aesthetic procedures to personalize your treatment.
   
  How should I care for my skin after the treatment?
 
You should protect your skin from direct sun exposure for up to 3 days after the treatment and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
