At Pacific Plastic Surgery Group in Vancouver, we offer SkinTyte, a non-invasive skin tightening treatment designed to tighten skin, improve sagging skin, and restore a more youthful skin appearance. Using advanced infrared light technology by Sciton, SkinTyte gently heats the dermal layer of the skin to stimulate collagen production, supporting the body’s natural healing process and resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. Whether you are concerned about skin laxity on the face, neck, abdomen, or arms, SkinTyte offers a safe, painfree and effective option for rejuvenation for a range of skin types.
What Is SkinTyte?
SkinTyte is a non-surgical skin tightening treatment that uses BroadBand Light (BBL) technology to deliver deep, gentle pulses of targeted heat to the dermal layers of the skin. This process activates the body’s natural healing process and boosts collagen production, improving elasticity and minimizing fine lines. The treatment is ideal for the lower face, jawline, neck, abdomen, thighs, and arms, addressing mild sagging skin and early signs of aging without incisions or downtime. SkinTyte is especially beneficial for patients who are not ready for surgery but still want visible results in their treatment area.
Who Is a Candidate for SkinTyte Skin Tightening Treatment?
Ideal candidates for SkinTyte are individuals with mild loose skin resulting from aging, sun exposure, or weight fluctuations. Patients receiving SkinTyte treatments should be in good health, have realistic expectations, and desire a non-invasive method to improve skin firmness. While it doesn’t replace surgical procedures, SkinTyte provides significant benefits in slowing signs of aging, reducing mild redness, and enhancing skin tone and texture.
The SkinTyte Procedure
SkinTyte is performed in-office and typically takes 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. A handheld device delivers infrared energy in rapid, gentle pulses, heating the deeper skin layers while protecting the outer surface. Most patients require no topical anesthetic, and many describe the sensation as a comfortable warming of the skin. A full treatment plan often involves multiple sessions for the best results, but even a single session may produce subtle improvements.
SkinTyte Results and Recovery
There is no downtime after a SkinTyte session, and patients receiving SkinTyte treatments usually return to daily activities immediately. Some may experience slight redness or warmth in the treatment area, which typically fades within hours. As collagen rebuilds, skin firmness and elasticity continue to improve, especially when treatments are spaced three to four weeks apart. With consistent care, SkinTyte can reduce fine lines and help you maintain a more youthful skin texture over time.
