SKIN TYTE
Sculpt, Firm and Improve the Appearance of Skin Laxity with SkinTyte
SkinTyte is a feature of the BBL HEROic system, a broadband light (BBL) treatment that utilizes infrared light to heat the skin's deep layers, stimulating collagen production and improving skin laxity.
SkinTyte uses pulsed light technology to deeply heat the skin. This helps to restore the body’s collagen, improving the skin’s firmness.
The SkinTyte procedure uses infrared energy to penetrate the upper layer of skin in a targeted trouble area. This infrared energy leads to the denaturation and contraction of collagen cells, essentially disrupting the collagen in your skin. This, combined with the heat produced by the procedure, triggers the body’s natural healing process, leading to improved collagen production.
Treatment also includes a cooling process which comfortably keeps the top layer of skin chilled while deeper layers of skin are heated.
Most people see maximum results after 3 to 6 sessions spaced three weeks apart.
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.
Are there contraindications to the SkinTyte treatment? SkinTyte is safe for a wide variety of patient types. However, we do not recommend this treatment for patients who are sensitive to light; taking antibiotics known to increase sensitivity to sunlight; taking Accutane/isotretinoin; are pregnant; have an active infection or compromised immune system, or have a history of keloid scarring.
