Skin laxity — the loss of firmness and elasticity — is a common concern as we age. Sun exposure, genetics, and collagen depletion all contribute to sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines.
SkinTyte targets and stimulates collagen production within the skin’s deeper layers through advanced infrared energy. This process, known as collagen remodeling, is the key to achieving firmer, more youthful-looking skin without invasive surgery or lengthy downtime.
One of its key advantages is the ability to deliver consistent, controlled heating without damaging surrounding tissue — making it safe and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin or skin with a history of sun exposure.
You relax in a stress-free setting as an experienced technician applies gentle pulses of infrared energy via a specialized handheld device. This light energy penetrates deeply into the dermis, heating the tissue and causing collagen fibers to contract, so skin appears tighter and more toned immediately following treatment.
The real results happen beneath the surface. Over the following weeks and months, your body’s natural healing process stimulates new collagen and elastin, further tightening the treated areas. Most sessions last around 30 minutes depending on the size of the area, and you can return to your routine with no restrictions.

The benefits
No incisions, anesthesia, or downtime. Patients can be treated during a lunch break and return to daily activities afterward.
Tailored to specific areas of concern — jowls, décolletage, abdomen, thighs, or other body parts.
Some improvement may be visible after one treatment; full benefits are usually realized after a series of five to six sessions.
Most patients report minimal discomfort, likened to a warm sensation on the skin, with no numbing creams required.
We suggest a series of five to six treatments to start, spaced several weeks apart. Your provider will recommend a plan based on your skin and your goals.
