SkinTyte™

What to Expect During a SkinTyte™ Treatment

SkinTyte treatments are quick, easy, and comfortable. After cleansing the area, we will apply a cooling gel and begin gliding the SkinTyte handpiece across the treatment area.

You’ll feel a gentle warming sensation with little to no discomfort; no anesthesia or numbing is required. Most sessions take 15–30 minutes, depending on the area treated.

You can return to normal activities immediately after treatment. There is no peeling, redness, or visible disruption—just smoother, firmer skin that improves over time.

Recovery and Results

  • Skin may feel slightly warm or flushed for a few hours post-treatment
  • Collagen remodeling takes time—visible improvement begins within 4–8 weeks
  • For best results, we recommend a series of 4–6 treatments spaced 2–3 weeks apart
  • Continued improvement can be seen for up to six months after the final session
  • Maintenance treatments every 6–12 months can help preserve results long term

SkinTyte™ FAQs

How soon can I apply makeup after SkinTyte™?

You can apply makeup immediately after your treatment if desired. There’s no peeling or skin disruption, making it a great option before events or when you want results without visible recovery.

Can SkinTyte™ be used preventatively?

Yes—many patients in their 30s and early 40s use SkinTyte as a preventative strategy to maintain collagen and delay the onset of sagging. Regular treatments can help preserve firmness before visible signs of aging take hold.

Is SkinTyte™ safe for melanin-rich or sensitive skin types?

Absolutely. SkinTyte’s infrared technology is non-ablative and non-invasive, meaning it doesn't disrupt the skin's surface or carry pigmentation risks. It’s safe for all skin tones, including darker complexions.

Does SkinTyte™ help with cellulite or body contouring?

While not a fat reduction treatment, SkinTyte can visibly firm loose, crepey skin on areas like the thighs, arms, and abdomen—sometimes reducing the appearance of mild cellulite by improving skin texture and support.

Can I combine SkinTyte™ with injectables like BOTOX® or fillers?

Yes. SkinTyte pairs beautifully with injectables. While SkinTyte improves skin firmness, BOTOX® and fillers can address expression lines and volume loss. Combining them offers a more complete facial rejuvenation.

How many SkinTyte™ treatments will I need before seeing results?

While some patients notice early improvement after just one or two sessions, the best results develop after a full series of 4–6 treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Collagen remodeling is gradual, so consistency is key.

Does SkinTyte™ treat deep wrinkles?

SkinTyte helps smooth and tighten the skin's surface, which can soften the appearance of wrinkles caused by laxity. However, for deeply etched lines, we may recommend combining the treatment with laser resurfacing or injectables for more dramatic smoothing.

Can SkinTyte™ be used after weight loss or pregnancy?

Yes—SkinTyte is popular for post-weight loss or postpartum patients with mild to moderate loose skin. It’s a safe, non-surgical way to restore tone to areas like the abdomen, arms, or thighs.
