SkinTyte™ Laser Treatment for Firmer, Smoother Skin
SkinTyte™ is a noninvasive treatment that safely firms sagging skin and boosts collagen with zero downtime.
Noninvasive Firming for Youthful, Smoother Skin
SkinTyte™ by Sciton is a no-downtime skin tightening treatment that uses infrared light technology to stimulate collagen and firm the skin, without needles, surgery, or recovery time.
At Balikian Plastic Surgery, we offer SkinTyte as part of our advanced noninvasive skin rejuvenation solutions.
What Is SkinTyte™?
SkinTyte is a light-based treatment designed to tighten loose or sagging skin by delivering rapid pulses of infrared energy deep into the dermis. This targeted heating stimulates the body’s natural healing response, prompting increased collagen production and gradual firming of the treated areas.
Unlike more invasive procedures, SkinTyte is comfortable, quick, and doesn’t require anesthesia. It’s perfect for those looking for visible results without downtime.
What Does SkinTyte™ Treat?
SkinTyte is ideal for treating mild to moderate skin laxity in several areas, including:
- Lower face and jawline (jowls)
- Neck and décolletage
- Abdomen
- Arms
- Thighs and knees
This treatment is especially popular for patients looking to prevent early aging or enhance the results of other procedures like facelifts or BBL HEROic.
Benefits of SkinTyte™
SkinTyte offers a powerful yet gentle solution for firming and revitalizing loose or aging skin without surgery or downtime.
- Tightens lax, crepey, or sagging skin
- Stimulates natural collagen production
- Zero downtime – return to daily activities right away
- Safe for all skin types
- Quick, comfortable treatments (usually 30 minutes or less)
- Can be combined with other light-based or laser therapies for enhanced results
Whether used alone or paired with other treatments, SkinTyte helps you achieve smoother, tighter skin with minimal effort and long-lasting results.
What to Expect During Your SkinTyte™ Treatment
Your provider will apply a cooling gel to the skin and gently pass the SkinTyte handpiece over the treatment area. The device delivers bursts of infrared energy while maintaining a comfortable temperature on the surface.
Most patients describe the sensation as a warm massage. A session typically lasts 15 to 30 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area. No anesthetic or numbing is required.
When Will I See Results?
Skin feels firmer right after the first treatment, with visible improvements developing gradually over 2–3 months as collagen remodels. A series of 3–5 sessions spaced a few weeks apart is typically recommended for best results.
