Skin Firming
Mechanism of Action
SkinTyte utilizes infrared energy to deeply heat soft tissue while protecting the entire treated area with sapphire contact cooling. Targeted heating causes soft tissue coagulation that tightens tissue as it heals, stimulating collagen contraction and remodeling. This process initiates the body’s natural healing process and a new foundation of collagen is created, resulting in a firmer, more youthful skin appearance. The full effect of skin firming treatments can be seen over several subsequent months.

"I’m most impressed with the SkinTyte’s efficacy in treating the neck and lower face. Patients can expect immediate firmness, followed several months later by a longer lasting firmness."
