BBL Skin Tightening Treatment

The SkinTyte laser is a skin tightening cosmetic procedure that utilizes advanced infrared technology to deeply heat the dermal layer of the skin. As the laser heats the soft tissues, it simultaneously protects the epidermis (top layer of the skin’s surface) with sapphire cooling contact to ensure maximum safety and comfort for the patient during the procedure. Rapid, gentle pulses of laser energy are delivered to the skin during the procedure, promoting the contraction and partial coagulation of collagen. The body’s natural healing process is also induced, allowing for new collagen to form and increasing the overall firmness of the skin. By encouraging new collagen production in the skin, the SkinTyte laser results in a complexion that is more youthful, tighter, and smoother in appearance.

The SkinTyte procedure is a laser skin tightening treatment that effectively treats sagging skin in various areas of the body. Popular areas include the face, neck, abdomen, knees, thighs, buttocks, and arms. The laser utilizes advanced infrared light technology to deeply heat dermal collagen and firm areas with loose or sagging skin. The heat applied to the dermal layer will trigger your body’s collagen to contract and coagulate. This deep heating starts the healing process and stimulates collagen production, tightening your skin immediately, with increased collagen production over the next several months.

In addition, it is also believed that the SkinTyte laser works to activate fibroblasts which are essential for generating connective tissue and allowing the skin to recover from injury. This contributes to improvement in texture and reduced appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and minor scars. Aside from SkinTyte’s ability to improve sagging skin, the other benefit is that there is no downtime and minimal side effects. Some patients will experience minor redness and swelling after the procedure but it usually subsides within 30 minutes. This means that you can return to your normal activities immediately afterward.

Yes! The SkinTyte laser is a safe and effective FDA-approved noninvasive treatment for skin tightening. It works well for all skin types and skin tones and will work to address mild skin laxity, fine lines, irregular pigmentation, and undesirable skin texture. There is no downtime and minimal to no side effects. Individuals who are pregnant, have an autoimmune disease, or have taken Accutane within the past six months are contraindicated and should not undergo a SkinTyte procedure.

The total time required for performing a treatment with the SkinTyte laser will ultimately depend on the area of the body being treated. For the face and neck, treatment is typically completed within just half an hour. Since there is no downtime involved, you can return to your normal daily activities immediately following the completion of the BBL procedure.

The results from the SkinTyte treatment can last for up to 12 months depending on your age, diet, alcohol, exercise, and skincare habits, including sun exposure. Hormone deficiencies, sun exposure, or smoking can all shorten how long the results from SkinTyte last and should be avoided.
