As we age, our bodies go through numerous changes that can affect our appearance. One example is the decrease in production of collagen and elastin, which are important proteins for the structure and health of our skin.

As our bodies slow down production of these proteins, it can often lead to loose, sagging skin around the face, jawline, neck, and other areas. Although surgical procedures like a facelift or tummy tuck can be extremely effective for tightening loose skin, you may not want to go through such a major procedure. If you’d like to tighten up your sagging skin without undergoing surgery, you may want to consider Skin Tightening treatment.

What Is Skin Tightening?

Skin Tightening is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to tighten and lift the skin on virtually any area of the face and body. It utilizes broadband light (BBL) technology, which delivers advanced infrared energy deep into the skin to stimulate collagen production and tighten loose skin.

Sciton Skin Tightening works by delivering infrared energy deep into the dermal layers of the skin. This energy heats the targeted tissue, stimulating collagen production and causing the skin to contract and tighten over time. The controlled heating of the skin also helps to initiate the body’s natural healing process, leading to firmer and smoother skin. SkinTyte can address sagging skin, loss of elasticity, and fine lines and wrinkles in areas such as the face, neck, abdomen, arms, and thighs.

How Does Sciton Skin Tightening Work?

Skin Tightening treatment works by sending short pulses of infrared energy to the targeted area of skin. This energy heats the dermal layer, which triggers the body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production. The increased collagen and elastin production leads to long-lasting improvements in the health and complexion of the skin. Additionally, as new healthy skin cells are generated in the treatment area, the skin becomes firmer, tighter, and more youthful-looking.

Where Can Skin Tightening Treatment Be Done?

The treatment can be done in many different areas of the body. Some of the areas most commonly treated include:

• Face
• Jawline
• Neck
• Stomach
• Arms
• Thighs

What Should I Expect During the Procedure?

The Skin Tightening treatment process starts with a quick consultation with one of our Master Estheticians. During this meeting, they will talk with you about your specific hopes for the procedure and answer all of your questions. If you decide to proceed with the treatment, our practitioners will work with you to devise a personalized treatment plan that meets your unique needs and goals.

Skin Tightening treatment is a relatively simple outpatient procedure that does not require anesthesia. During the treatment, the practitioner will take the Skin Tightening handpiece and run it carefully over your skin in the targeted area. You may feel a slight warming sensation, but the device’s cooling mechanism should prevent any significant discomfort. Overall, the treatment should only take around 30 to 45 minutes, and you can head home as soon as it’s finished.

How Long Is the Recovery Time?

Most patients don’t require any recovery downtime after undergoing Skin Tightening treatment. You may experience some redness or tenderness around the treatment area, but you should be able to resume your normal routine immediately. However, you should be sure to wear sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 when you’re outside in the days following your treatment.

Am I a Candidate for Sciton Skin Tightening?

Adults who would like to improve the laxity and health of their skin could be good candidates. Ideal candidates for the treatment should:

• Be in generally good health
• Have the desire to rejuvenate their skin without surgery
• Have realistic expectations
• Have loose or sagging skin that they’d like to tighten

How Long Will It Take To See Results After Skin Tightening Treatment?

You may notice improvements in the appearance of your skin immediately after your Skin Tightening treatment. However, the results will continue to appear for several months as your body produces more collagen and elastin. The results of Skin Tightening can last up to a year or longer. For optimal results, you may need three to five treatment sessions.
